Even in the bedroom.”Īnd if my mini fangirl rant (I want to be her) isn’t enough there is the mysteriously gorgeous King of Shadows. “I merely think we should be afforded the same rights as the men. She gets off on power and honestly, what’s wrong with that? She has a dominant personality and is a force to be reckoned with. I love her sassy inner monologues and her strong thoughts and opinions on w omen’s rights to sexual freedom and equality. A woman’s worth is not decided by what’s between her legs but by what is in her mind.” “The poets can say whatever they damned like. Her ambition is to be queen, and she uses her feminine wiles and all her resources at her disposal to get what she wants. Alessandra is no wilting delicate flower but rather a rose in full bloom- gorgeous and deadly. She is very commanding, I love her presence jumping out of the pages and pulling me toward her. Tricia Levenseller has masterfully crafted Alessandra to be every young girl’s dream- independent, cutthroat and raw.

Regardless, Alessandra knows what she deserves, and she’s going to do everything within her power to get it.īut Alessandra’s not the only one trying to kill the king. Others say they speak to him, whispering the thoughts of his enemies. Some say he can command the shadows that swirl around him to do his bidding. No one knows the extent of the freshly crowned Shadow King’s power.
