Blurb:
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.
My thoughts:
If I must be honest, the first book wasn't for me and I was cautious about starting the second one—The Darkness Within Us….and I'm glad I was wrong!
Young Chrysantha had an arranger marriage to a duke that was on his deathbed. Hiding her true intelligence and intentions, her only goal is to inherit everything so she can have her freedom at last! Freedom to make her own choices and to be nobody's property.
And everything goes to plan until a man called Eryx Demos arrives claiming to be the late duke's grandson and wants to take everything from her.
A pinch of mystery, a lot of banter and gripping romance, and honestly, I finished the book in no time (unfortunately for me because I wanted more of them😭❤️).
Chrysantha is such an unapologetic and fiery character that leads to so many entertaining moments and especially the banter between them…. I haven't giggled so much from a book for a long time!😂👌
And either love her or hate her, Chrysantha's character doesn't leave you a chance of staying indifferent.
It's safe to say Chrysantha is my favorite than Alessandra, and I sincerely hope that we get another book in this world.
