"Together we interwine but love isn't the only thing that matters. You're my shade of black, infinite and endless." - For a man who has demons dark and dangerous as night, a man so sinful and brave, someone who is worse than the demons that roam his entire being, to meet a girl so innocent and sweet as a rose- it's all sorts of constellations colliding. King has never loved anything in his life, not until he sets his eyes on something he shouldn't desire, some thing even he doesn't know is forbidden. Sophia is friendly, kind and ever ready to help someone in need but maybe offering her home to an unknown stranger isn't that good of an idea after she meets him in the worse place imaginable for her- a club. Join my two favorite characters on a journey that unravels into the most dangerous love story we could ever imagine and if you're not ready, I suggest something for that heartache we're all about to feel. Welcome to the shades, where hearts aren't the only things that break. ©2020 - The Shades Of You. All Rights Reserved by Caitlyn Reese.

A magic-addicted spy trapped in the queen's service must track a princess-turned-assassin in order to earn her freedom, but things get complicated when she falls for the princess she's supposed to capture. ***** Weak. Cursed. That's how seventeen-year-old Kayden Branimir, the realm's deadliest assassin, views herself. Some believe she could save the world with her rare healing magic, but she gave up on her powers long ago after failing to save her best friend. Her life changes when she receives a letter from her supposedly dead twin brother, Alaric, begging to be rescued from rival territory Leodia. For the first time since her friend's accident, Kayden is determined to be the hero, but she must learn to embrace her magic--and herself--along the way. Strange. Unnatural. Those are the words whispered about eighteen-year-old Zara Tait, a Leodian spy addicted to soul-stealing magic. Forced into the queen's service, Zara wants to escape and return home, but she has nothing to offer the queen in exchange for her freedom. When Kayden arrives in Leodia, Zara sees the quiet girl with unique magic as the bargaining chip she needs. But the more she learns of Kayden, the more her feelings grow. Now, Zara must choose between her freedom and the dangerous assassin she hadn't meant to fall for.
