I loved the first book (about her sister) so much, and this was such a great surprise. The MFC is spoiled, arrogant, and just a little crazy. I loved her. I loved seeing a FMC that wasn't good with swords or had some great fate, but a woman who simply used her womanly charms to get what she wanted. I need more FMC like her. Diabolical and beautiful and elegant - perfection!

The Darkness Within Us by Tricia Levenseller is the second book in The Shadows Between Us series. This book is about Chrysantha, Alessandroโ€™s sister. Chrysantha has finally won, By hiding her true self and pretending to be an air-headed girl she was able to become a wealthy duchess. However, once her husband passes someone comes stating they are his grandson! 
 
I actually liked this one better than the first one. I think it had a little bit more depth with the characters! I enjoyed the change between the main characters and the fact that we got some more from the other characters from the first book as well. 
 
Definitely was an enjoyable and quick fantasy romance. Easy to read, not a lot of world building, but a lot of romance.

but I dare to say that I like this one more than the first 

okay I was actually considering dnf-ing this like the first 70 pages they were intolerable but thank god I waited just a bit, and then, I was suddenly flying through this enjoying it and being so utterly in love with Erix "I still struggle with his name" 

this man maybe my favourite one out there he's just so kindhearted and gentle and whatever good sweet thing crosses your mind it's him I luv himmmmm so fucking muchhhh 

Now back to the plot Tricia did actually fuck this up at the end, the series of events at the end happened just way too fucking fast ruining everything even their relation for me it made it bland a d dull a bit, and that actually made me so upset and turned down but it's fine for my boy Erix I could bare everything ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿฉท
