So if the dragon shifters want some target practice, the werewolves want someone to hunt or the vampires fancy a snack then we have to be ready.

We can’t expect any help from the faculty when it comes to defending ourselves. We never knew we had a birthright to live up to but now that we do, we intend to claim our throne. They’ve only got until the lunar eclipse to force us out and they’ll stop at nothing to succeed. Our fates are intertwined, but they want us gone. It doesn’t help that they’re the most dangerous beasts in the Academy. And it hasn’t made us any friends so far.Īs the rarest Elementals ever known, we’re already a threat to the four celestial heirs the popular, vindictive bullies who happen to be some of the hottest guys we’ve ever seen. No one has ever harnessed all four of them, until we arrived. Which means we’re totally unprepared for the ruthless world of Fae. As twins born in the month of Gemini, we’re a rare breed even in this academy of supernatural a-holes.Ĭhangelings were outlawed hundreds of years ago but I guess our birth parents didn’t get the memo. If you’re one of the Fae, elemental magic is in your blood. You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny. So I decided to give the first book, The Awakening, a try! Keep on reading to find out more about the book and my thoughts! Until a friend messaged that she was 4 books in and loving the series. I’ve been on the fence about starting this series, because of the hype. But fate might have other ideas.If you’ve been around the bookish community lately you probably haven’t missed the hype around the Zodiac Academy series.

He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell.Īll I've got to do is survive. My biggest problem is the drool worthy Dragon shifter who has his eyes on my throne. 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. 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.Ĭlasses are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. The school they've sent me to is both dangerous as sh*t and one helluva party. 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.

And sure, technically that's true as I'm the daughter of the Savage King. And it turns out, I'm Fae.īut 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.
