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 birthright 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 droolworthy 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 dark, bully romance - 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.

Also, the girls having all that power feels childish to me — like every kid wants to have the most magic in role-plays… this was similar to that.
The characters feel lonely, like the twins only have each other.
On the bright side, Darcy and Tory’s relationship with each other is great. Their sisterhood is convincing and they love each other a lot.
I’ll probably listen to the other books too when I get more credits, so I’m not giving it the lowest score. I like to finish what I started.
The voice actor was a great plus to this book. Her performance was great!
Too many muscly guys

The authors completely take you to a new world, along with the main characters. Tory and Darcy are unique and strong characters. While twins, they have their own unique personalities and lives while still having a strong sisterly bond. Bridget Bordeaux manages to portray both of them incredibly well and gives each the individualism needed.
This book is quite a tame introduction to the world of bully romance that ramps up quickly. The plot has a strong focus, it is not a romance first and everything drives to that narrative but has its own driving force with romance as a strong side plot. If you're new to the genre this is an amazing book to start with but it WILL ruin every other romance for you unless these authors wrote it!
Not just any romance
