I seriously adore this world, the plot and every single character. Some of them might be assholes, but I still kind of love them. They are all so unique and each have something different that makes their heart beat.
Darcy and Orion have my entire heart. Tory and Darius will eventually.
I think Tory’s reaction at the very end of the book was a tiny bit dramatic because I’m finally starting to warm up to Darius. He didn’t have malicious and betraying thoughts from his POV and I hope Tory sees this in the next book......more
This was fun and definitely worth the read!! It gives you the point of view of the four heirs + Orion. If I'm being honest, I mainly read this for OriThis was fun and definitely worth the read!! It gives you the point of view of the four heirs + Orion. If I'm being honest, I mainly read this for Orion, but still enjoyed the other four almost as much!
I wasn't sure about reading this right after book 1, but I strongly recommend it now. I started reading it right after book one and then read it in tandem with books 2 and 3. Looking back now, I feel like it's best to read it right after book 1!! The plotline and characters are still fresh in your head and so much stuff happens between each book that you might get slightly confused.
Normally I don't LOVE a whole new book with the same plot and different points of view because it can be a tad boring. This honestly wasn't the case here and I almost loved it as much as the first book. Getting Darius' and Orion's perspectives truly made this book and added to the overall story.
Getting insight onto why the heirs act the way they do is so eye-opening and I honestly formed a soft spot for all of them (even if it's a small one) <3 Max still has a ways to go...
“We'd been humiliated, belittled, abused and beaten. But not broken, we were made of stronger stuff than that."
The obsession I now have with this se “We'd been humiliated, belittled, abused and beaten. But not broken, we were made of stronger stuff than that."
The obsession I now have with this series is unreal. After finishing the Cruel Prince series, I have been craving a new enemies-to-lovers series and this hit the spot.
Reasons to read this book - ENEMIES TO LOVERS - Bully romance - A darker, fae spin on Hogwarts - Forbidden love - Fae who are also: Shifters, vampires, sirens, werewolves, dragons etc... - A hot, grumpy, vampire professor - “It suits you,” he said. “What does?” I asked. “Smiling.” - "I think the time for sirs and professors is over, don't you?"
The first book's ending shocked me to no end and I was left reeling. One of the best things about these books is that the next one picks up right where we left off. There is no room for interpretation or theories - we get right to the goods. This book was so addicting as we got to see the revenge Tory and Darcy got on the Heirs. I truly could not put this book down. The writing style was so smart - Every time the revenge plot was in place for each heir we would get the POV from one of the girls and then the Heir. SO SMART AND ADDICTING!!
This book also gives us the POVs of the four heirs + Orion (and obviously Tory and Darcy). I'm not usually one for multiple points of view cause I tend to get lost and lose interest in a couple of the characters, but this isn't the case. I really enjoyed each of the POVs *even Max and Seth's who I despise*.
The romance in this book isn't your typical romance and I'm here for it. Darcy and Orion in this book had me on my goddamn knees. I love those two more than any other book couple. The combination of forbidden love, the age gap, and the denial of feelings is pure perfection. AND THE SLOW BURN OHMYGOD. Perfection, once again. Then we have Tory and her love interests. Now let's be honest here: I don't love Caleb and Tory, but they do have chemistry. Darius is my guy, but I'm predicting that he'll get his turn eventually.
This review feels like it's all over the place cause I'm currently reading the third book and the awakening from the boy's POV - So I'm basically trying to remember what is what from each book haha. Anyways no surprise here: 5/5 stars :)...more
I saw one quote about this book on TikTok and immediately dropped everything to start reading. I’m a sucker for fated mate books, and this one didn’t I saw one quote about this book on TikTok and immediately dropped everything to start reading. I’m a sucker for fated mate books, and this one didn’t disappoint.
I loved the characters and the storyline and the pacing of the book. I don’t always love the insta love that comes with fated mate books, but this wasn’t truly insta love. Mae couldn’t feel the bond right away, so it was more of a slow burn romance. And the pacing on this was PERFECT.
If you are looking for a fast paced, cute, SMUTTY book, then this one is for you. It’s just not one of my absolute favourites!!
This book was everything. It bewitched me, body and soul. I fell in love with the characters and my body is literally yearniSome of y'all lied to me.
This book was everything. It bewitched me, body and soul. I fell in love with the characters and my body is literally yearning for the next book.
ALSO, NO ONE MENTIONED THAT THERE IS A HOT, GRUMPY, VAMPIRE PROFESSOR... If that's not enough to get you to read this book then idk what is...
Tory and Darcy are two 18-year-olds just trying to get by and then their whole world gets turned upside down when they find out they aren't human. They are immediately transported to a mirror world of Earth known as, Solaria. They begin to attend a school called Zodiac where they run into a group of four guys who essentially run the school - even the professors turn a blind eye to their antics. Tory and Darcy begin navigating the brand new world and quickly realize that they are not welcomed with open arms.
Zodiac Academy: The Awakening is a new adult, bully romance, paranormal book and I loved every minute of it. I'm not usually one for bully romances, but this one was written so perfectly that I didn't even seem to mind. The plot is so intriguing with secrets and magic, that the bullying wasn't the main part of the story. On top of that, the bullying was bad, but I have definitely read worse...
If you know me, you know I despise zodiac signs/horoscopes WITH A PASSION. With zodiac literally being in the name of this book I was a bit worried, but I actually loved the zodiac part of the novel. They get horoscopes every couple of days which acted as a premonition for some chapters and it was actually kind of fun to predict what was going to happen.
As I'm writing this review, I'm beginning to see that this book was set up for me NOT to like it. The novel follows Tory and Darcy in a dual POV *which I usually don't love*, but I honestly enjoyed both perspectives. I love both sisters for different reasons, but definitely enjoyed Darcy's love interests more <3
Andrew is a grumpy lawyer who hates Christmas and his blind date, Kenzie, shows up dressed like elf Overall this was cute, but it wasn’t my favourite
Andrew is a grumpy lawyer who hates Christmas and his blind date, Kenzie, shows up dressed like elf (and she LOVES Christmas). They end up making a deal after the date: She will help him plan a Christmas party at his work and he will go to three holiday related events with her.
We have grumpy/sunshine AND brothers best friend, and yet I still didn’t like this…
The book had some cute scenes, but I felt like they were so repetitive - I would read the same thing, just in different contexts. And Andrew wasn’t your typical grump… He was actually really mean (and dramatic ugh). Usually I love a grumpy book guy, but this guy just wasn’t it.
After reading Once Upon a Broken Heart, this book put me back together and then broke me in half again and again. This book pr5 beautiful dark stars.
After reading Once Upon a Broken Heart, this book put me back together and then broke me in half again and again. This book provoked so much emotion in me. One second I was squealing with happiness and the next I was trying not to cry. It's definitely one of my absolute favourite books ever now.
No surprise that I still don't love Evangeline... I'm sorry, but she is just so stupid and naive. She was slightly better in this book, but again, slightly. On the bright side, Jacks makes up for it. I LOVE THAT MAN. He can do no wrong.
Some honourable quotes from our man
"In the morning, you can forget it. You can go back to pretending you don't like me, and I can pretend that I don't care. But for tonight, let me pretend you're mine"
“I do not want you dead, and I’ll kill anyone who tries.”
“Glad to know you're thinking about me when you kiss your husband.”
I am utterly and completely obsessed. But now we're forced to wait almost a year for the third book and I'm close to tears. ...more

Usually I canFinally read this after seeing all hype on tiktok. My main conclusion with this book is that it was super cute, but super freaking long. Usually I can knock out a book in a day or two, but this one took about a week-ish
The characters were cute, the romance was hot (although much spicier than expected) and the plot was cute. I feel like there was a whole lot more romance and smut than there was a plot... I feel like they were either at a hockey game or they were having sex. Not that I'm really complaining here, it just got repetitive after a couple hundred pages.
Carter and Olivia are our main characters. Both were cute, but both had their flaws. Carter was a little too much/lovey-dovey for me and Olivia cried a lot... Listen, I can cry a lot too, but this girl was an emotional wreck sometimes.
If this was 150-200 pages less, I probably would've liked it better and would consider reading the second book in the series. I would also be more inclined to read the next book if it was about Adam cause that sweet man needs a happy ending after this book. My heart broke for him.
Now I'm not going to lie... It did take me about 120 pages to actually get into this, but once I got past the world/character building ILOVE LOVE LOVE
Now I'm not going to lie... It did take me about 120 pages to actually get into this, but once I got past the world/character building I WAS HOOKED. I fell in love with this book.
I adored Lennox and Annika and their backstories and their passion. Even though this was an enemies-to-lovers romance, I always love when they begin to protect each other *even though they are supposed to hate each other*. The slow burn was the perfect pace and had me kicking my feet in happiness the whole time. There is also a kidnapping and a battle scene between the two and I WAS HERE FOR IT.
Don't let the 500+ pages scare you!! I am not the biggest fan of long books, but you will literally fly through this one. It's so fast-paced and addicting, I could not put it down.
I honestly wish this was a series cause I loved the storyline and the characters <3
the storyline was all over the place and I just never connected with the plot or characters.
also, I was not expecting that this gets a no from me...

Just like Spirit Bound (by richelle mead), this book isn't my absolute favourite, but the ending makes up for it every time <3
And hearing it f4.5/5 ⭐️

And hearing it from Dimitri's POV was that much better!!! AND the reveal at the end when(view spoiler)[ Dimitri found out that Abe was Rose's dad (hide spoiler)]was absolutely priceless
I am absolutely devastated that I only have one more book then and then it will *officially* be done. ...more
As always, I think this author is doing a beautiful job at portraying Dimitri's POV :)As always, I think this author is doing a beautiful job at portraying Dimitri's POV :)...more
I had so many doubts before reading this, but I am so surprised by how much I loved this. It was pretty much perfect for a Dimitri POV and Um hello...

Holy crap. This book was beautiful. I absolutely adored essentially every single aspect. I also might have a new book boyfriend because NOAH RILEY is Holy crap. This book was beautiful. I absolutely adored essentially every single aspect. I also might have a new book boyfriend because NOAH RILEY is one for the history books.
First things first: Love triangles… Sometimes I love them and sometimes I hate them. This one wasn’t my absolute favourite only because I hated Chase with every aspect of my being. He had every red flag to exist and I wanted him gone. But on the other hand, Noah was absolutely perfect. Guys when I say he rivals every other guy I’ve read about I mean it. Goddamn.
I’m also not usually a friends-to-lovers kind of gal, but Noah and Arianna’s friendship truly warmed my heart.
Then we have the plot twist... Not gonna lie here, I was definitely not expecting that. It really pulled at my heart holyyyy. Was it necessary? Not really, but I have read worse and I absolutely loved how it ended. It mainly just made me sad and angry hahaha.
There was never a dull moment with this book (even tho it felt like such a long book). I was completely enamoured with the storyline and the majority of the characters. Mason did get on my nerves sometimes, but at the end of the day, he is just overly protective. ALSO I think we need a novel with Brady and the girl from the library…
All in all this book made me smile, laugh and *almost* cry. I read it while on an airplane and I was not about to start sobbing in front of everyone. Seriously everyone needs to read this book <33 It is absolutely heartwarming....more
