Description

The Zodiac Academy series from the Twisted Sisters and Amazon and Wall Street Journal 1 bestselling authors Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti is a Booktok phenomenon. This print re-issue includes an exlusive bonus chapter and a new cover. As well as the stunning interior chapter pages which were included in the previous edition. and Wall Street Journal 1 bestselling enemies to lovers fantasy romance series from authors Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti - a Booktok sensation! I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae. But of course there’s a catch - all I have to do to claim my birth right is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could. The school they’ve sent me to is both dangerous as sht and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon and don’t even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on people’s emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy. Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if I’m going to beat down my classmates – which is actively encouraged by the way. My biggest problem is the drool worthy Dragon shifter who has his eyes on my throne. He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell. All I’ve got to do is survive. But fate might have other ideas. Dammit, why couldn’t I have gotten a letter to Hogwarts? Read more

  • True Bully Romance!
Format: Kindle
If you don’t like a bully romance or are unsure- definitely consider that before choosing this book. I feel like a lot of negative reviews are because of how mean the heirs are. That’s the point of the book. It is a bully romance. And you won’t get much romance at all on book one. The bullying, while cruel is EXCELLENT for the trope. You will HATE the heirs. ALL OF THEM. You will absolutely love Darcy and Tory and you will be frustrated with them while being empathetic to their naivety to this whole new world they have to navigate. The characters- main and supporting as they are written are absolutely amazing in they all have distinct personalities (and weird quirks/ick). The Academy setting is awesome and the way all of the different orders, elements, and signs are explained is very thorough but not overwhelming. I have read this book a second time doing a tandem read with Awakening: As Told By The Boys and it was AWESOME. I loved getting the boys’ POV with the same sequence of events- despite it literally being the timeline twice, I didn’t find it repetitive and really enjoyed it. DO NOT tandem read the first time you read this book. You really need to understand the level of hate the girls feel for the heirs and that may be diminished if you understand what the heirs are going through at the same time. Definitely read this book on its own if you’re reading for the first time. ... show more

  • Very developed fantasy world
Format: Paperback
I got this book because I love the fantasy genre and this series in the dark academia subgenre is really popular on the internet...I see great reviews everywhere. And, full disclosure, this is my first dark academia read. But, I'll admit I really struggled with this book. It's an easy read and it goes fast...I finished it in no time flat. But I thought the intro into the story went too fast and then I literally loathed every character in it. The world is so nasty and rough...something of a Harry Potter in college where even the professors are mean and weird. I do appreciate the world the authors have created...not an easy task. The various shift forms, spells, and empty throne storyline is very good. WHICH IS WHY even though I struggled with this book, I went and bought the next one. I just need to see where the story goes which, I guess, is score one for the authors. If you've never read dark academia before, I'm going to say this is probably a good place to start. ... show more

  • An excellent unintended potential
Format: Kindle
The novel is a kind of Harry Potter for young adults – except here, vampires prowl, werewolves indulge in orgies under the full moon, and sirens manipulate emotions with their dark allure. It is certainly not a book for children, there are explicit erotic scenes. The narrative follows Tory and Darcy Vega, lost twin heirs of Solaria, a realm on the brink of collapse after the assassination of the Savage King. The Zodiac Academy they attend is less a place of learning than an arena of ruthless competition, where the law of survival eclipses both morality and intellect. Strength, cruelty, and manipulation define the institution’s hierarchy, and the five ruling heirs plot to eliminate the newcomers. The worldbuilding is schematic – more an offshoot of Earth than a self-contained universe – with a magic system that is barely explained. The inclusion of horoscopes is entertaining, and the use of social media in Solaria mirrors our own reality all too well: people will do anything for the smallest slice of attention, nude pictures included. The academy often feels like a contest to determine who can use magic and media in the most brainless way. The theme of degradation – of both women and men – is particularly strong. Taken together, these elements form the novel’s most interesting aspect: an extreme parody of everything that has gone wrong in our own society, though it is doubtful that the authors intended it as such. The main characters are so infuriatingly shallow that they become almost comical. Their story begins with a burglary, justified because they “needed money.” At the academy, they mostly drink, flaunt expensive clothes, and pursue intimate encounters with the very people who want them dead. The twin protagonists are virtually indistinguishable, their moral compass absent, and their choices governed by impulse and vanity, reinforcing the sense of “wish fulfillment” rather than growth. By the end, they remain as unformed and unreflective as they were at the beginning. Beneath the surface lies a world in decay – Solaria is divided by internal strife and threatened by the enigmatic Nymphs – but the reader is ultimately left questioning why this world, so debased and hollow, is worth saving at all. Viewed through a critical lens, the novel stands as an excellent unintentional parody. In its exaggerated portrayal of hedonism, vanity, and moral collapse, it mirrors with unnerving accuracy the very cultural malaise it seems to dramatize. ... show more
