"Few audiobooks warrant turning off all distractions, closing one's eyes, and simply listening to the story unfold. Narrator Caitlin Davies creates just that experience as she passionately guides listeners through this gripping story of ambition, love, and desire."—AudioFile on The Shadows Between Us

The Darkness Within Us is a wickedly delightful companion novel to Tricia Levenseller's The Shadows Between Us.

Chrysantha Stathos has won.

By hiding her intelligence and ambition behind the mask of a beautiful air-headed girl, she has become a wealthy duchess. And, once her elderly husband dies, she will have all the freedom, money, and safety she’s ever wanted.

Or so she thought.

A man claiming to be the estranged grandson of Chrysantha’s lecherous late husband has turned up to steal her inheritance. To make matters worse, her little sister is going to be queen and is rubbing it in her face.

Chrysantha decides that the only thing to do is upstage Alessandra at her own wedding. And as for this grandson, he has to go. Never mind that he’s extremely handsome and secretive with mysterious powers . . . No, Chrysantha wants Eryx Demos dead, and in the end, a Stathos girl always gets what she wants.

"Chrysantha’s and Eryx’s wickedly charming personalities clash in the most pleasing and seductive ways ... Banter and sexual tension abound in this enjoyable enemies-to-lovers fantasy."—Kirkus

sisters are so alike

and I LOVE it! I wasn't aware this wasn't a continuation of the King of shadows but I had fun! these books are in my top favorites.

Idk

But what I do know is that I devoured this book like I did the first

A tense enemies to lovers romance

I loved the push pull enemies to tolerable allies to heated lovers story line with a twisted mystery aspect

great

Great characters. Great lines. Great narration. These are always my favorite romances. This author gets it.

Wow!

I couldn't stop listening! I finished it in 1 day. I love Chrysantha! She is fearless and smart, a dangerous combination. I love how accepting she is, too, of Ericks' supernatural side and how she cares for her servants. Though he served in the military and had to grow up quickly, I enjoyed seeing Ericks' playful side; he's 18 and it shows. I love the back & forth between them, the building tension and love. I think the ending was rushed a bit, but still a fabulous story.
