❤️ Eryx Demos x Chrysantha Stathos
This book was promising because of the #1 book, but was very predictable. Closed door romance, but very pro "women sleeping around is empowering", feminism, and homosexuality. Don't recommend because of these things.

"My husband is taking too long to die". Another hook of a first line. Another darker themed story with fun banter and a surprisingly strong and independent FMC.

What a change from the first book of this duology! A different story set in the same time. First book was about Alessandra and this book about her sister, Chrysantha. And this direction that this one went with Eryx was out of left field but I loved it. I love how it played out and the little twist in the middle. A definite read with little to no spice.

"A Witty Romp Through Shadows and Flames: The Darkness Within Us"
Tricia Levenseller has once again woven a tale that sets hearts racing and minds reeling in "The Darkness Within Us." Set in the same world as its predecessor, this book plunges readers back into the luxurious yet treacherous realm of the Shadow King, where power and passion collide in a fiery dance.
Chrysantha Santos, a character previously shrouded in mystery, steps into the spotlight as the protagonist of this electrifying tale. Initially portrayed as an airhead, Chrysantha reveals herself to be a woman of remarkable intelligence and cunning, shedding her facade to reveal the depths of her strength.
But what's a captivating protagonist without a worthy adversary? Enter Eryx Demos, a character as enigmatic as he is infuriating. With banter that crackles like lightning and chemistry that sizzles on the page, the dynamic between Chrysantha and Eryx is nothing short of electric.
As the story unfolds, readers are treated to a delightful blend of enemies-to-lovers romance, feminist fury, and witty repartee. Tricia Levenseller deftly navigates the complexities of power, privilege, and desire, crafting a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
While "The Darkness Within Us" may not delve deeply into world-building or intricate plot machinations, it more than makes up for it with its charm and charisma. This is a book that knows exactly what it wants to be—a rollicking romp through shadows and flames—and it delivers on that promise with gusto.
So, if you're in the mood for a low-stakes yet high-octane adventure filled with steamy romance, sharp wit, and unapologetic feminism, look no further than "The Darkness Within Us." Just be prepared to lose yourself in its pages and emerge with a newfound appreciation for the power of love, laughter, and the occasional well-placed curse word.
Thank you for the ARC
