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 sh*t 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?
***This is a enemies to lovers romantasy – don’t go expecting a sweet school for magic with friends around every corner. Fae fight for everything they own and Zodiac Academy is a cutthroat school for students aged 18+ where only the strongest prevail. There’s no Dumbledore here to save anyone’s ass and Lionel Acrux will give Voldemort a run for his money in the evil dictator category. So hold onto your stardust (broomsticks not required) and get ready for a bumpy ride***
My Thoughts:
08.22.24: Mmm, I am only on page 19 and right now I am struggling with the writing, especially where this book falls genre. It is giving childish writing, but alas, I am going to power along with the hopes that it gets better further into the book/ series.
Also, why the shit would Darcy stop her escape from the police to dunk a man's toothbrush into the toilet? Like what? Wouldn't your first go to when running from them be to RUN from them? It is as bad as when her sister took the time to rev the engine of the motorcycle she is STEALING. The immaturity of these two is astounding. I gather they are still teenagers, but if they were going up bouncing from store to store in foster care wouldn't they have some more street smarts? They would have had to grow up rather quickly, and if the sister Tor(?) was an experienced thief from years of doing it why would she take the time to rev the motorcycle? None of what happened within a handful of pages makes any sense.
Idk how well this is going to go.
