Dark Witch Academy #4
Gemini Wicked
They say I’m not worthy to be the next queen. That’s not the Cinderella story I signed up for.
When you’re the celebrity bad girl and wild future queen of the witching world, you pretty much expect scandal, secrets, paparazzi, and bad press. Like those salacious pics plastered all over The Witching Inquisitor of me—Zara Gemini—getting hot and heavy with my whole warlock court.
Like I care about the gossip? Those guys’ll burn the world down to rule at my side.
What I don’t expect is to be betrayed, humiliated, and dethroned on live TV. My own birthday bash ruined by my backstabbing ex-boyfriend and my lying ex-BFF.
Now I’ll need to use every trick in my dark witch academy spell book to win back my throne, pay back my enemies, and prove I’m worthy to the whole witching world.
Never mind that I’m only a freshman at the Icarus Academy, juggling an ever-expanding curriculum of magical superpowers and unpredictable superheats I can barely control. Or that adding the obsessed, possessive, tortured, and twisted Dark Fae King to my limited list of Academy allies splits my found family of warlocks right down the center.
Suddenly I’m the mad, bad, totally rad rebel Cinderella of the witching world resistance.
But hey, if the glass slipper fits…
Gemini Wicked is a spicy, shifty, paranormal adult academy why-choose romance and the scandalous sequel to Gemini Wild. Get ready for teacher-student forbidden heat, wolf and dragon shifters, dragon riders, bi awakening, all swords crossed, seven seductive warlocks, and a confident queen who never needs to choose. This series is guaranteed to whisk you away from your day-to-day and set your schoolgirl skirt on fire!

I discovered the Dark Witch Academy series late in 2023, gobbled up all three existing books in less than three days and have been waiting with baited breath ever since for the fourth book. I got myself a spot early on for the ARC team because I knew I wanted to read Gemini Wicked as soon as it was ready. It didn’t disappoint!
This installment picks up as Zara and her court (as it exists) head to her birthday celebration on a superyacht moored in the harbor outside the academy. The opening chapters of this book are tense and full of action, because of course they are. Nothing ever goes according to plan when a crown is up for grabs in a fantasy novel! (Plus, that’s kind of the major plot arc for the entire series, so we’d be without a story without a precipitating event, right?)
This disaster of a birthday celebration is only the start of a raucous set of events that stand between Zara and the crown. The pace of this book is fast, interspersed with action, lots of spice, and intimate conversations.
One of the things I love most about Laura’s Navarre’s writing in this series is her inner narrative for Zara. Most of the time I can’t stand first-person POV that breaks the fourth wall and has an extreme amount of slang. Somehow it just really works for me in these books. It fits the character, somehow. I can’t imagine Zara Gemini without her charming, cheeky inner voice.
Oh, and if you love breeding kink? Trust me, you’re not going to want to miss out. All of the Dark Witch Academy books are spicy af, but Gemini Wicked takes spicy af and adds a hefty dose of breeding kink on top for maximum effort. It’s giving ghost pepper levels of spice and I'm here for it.
I was provided a copy of this title by the author. All thoughts, opinions, views, and ideas expressed herein are mine and mine alone. Thank you.

Okay, so start with your trigger warnings. Not every book is for every reader. But if you want an amazingly smexy polycule that just might be growing, plenty of sword crossing and a b@da$$ FMC, then check out this series. You'll need to go back to book one, Gemini Queen, because you don't want to miss a single sp!Cy scene!
Zara's quest to save the arcane races from extinction keeps turning up new villains and quite possibly new mates. As Lucius said, "We've all made our choice, Zara. My dear, we've chosen you. We've chosen us. We've chosen all of us."
Good grief, this group of witches, warlocks, Fae, and shifters set my lady bits on f!re!

There’s so much going on in this book. Now that the harem is pretty much established the readers are getting more of a storyline. Nothing in Zara’s world is simple. Someone wants her crown. Plus she still has to be crowned in the Fae world and while she’s trying to be a student and juggle this crazy witchy world the subject of fertility kicks in. (Can’t get too specific or I’ll give it away). Needless to say, not too much time for their harem antics in the bedroom. But true Zara still they fit it in. Because who needs to study? lol.

Well I’m not surprised that I loved this book as much as the previous and I’m also not surprised that we will have more of Zara and her mates.. A paranormal why-choose with so many different species like shifters, vampires, dragons and Fae.. This series has it all with a sprinkle of spice on top..
Out of all the books I think this one was the least spiciest but the story more than made up for it!
Can’t wait to see what happens next…
Highly recommend ♥️
