About this listen

This is a retelling of book one of Zodiac Academy from the perspective of Orion, Darius, Caleb, Seth, and Max.

The Vega twins are alive.

Those five words circle in my mind like an oncoming storm. They change everything about the future we thought had been set in stone. They challenge everything we were raised to be and the stability of the entire kingdom.

They’re coming to our academy looking for the life that was stolen from them, but we can’t let them take it back.

So much hangs in the balance and we can’t risk the arrival of two naïve princesses destroying everything we worked so hard for.

I have trained in dark magic, overcome all challenges, and stood in the shadow of Lionel Acrux for far too long already. I won’t let them come between me and his downfall.

Which means they have to go before they discover how powerful they truly are.

This is a retelling of the first book in the Zodiac Academy series from the point of view of Orion and the Heirs and should be listened to after you have finished the original story. It includes scenes from alternative points of view, as well as over 50k words of additional content and scenes which have never before been revealed. So prepare to step into the dark minds of the Zodiac boys and watch out for the heartbreak and carnage that will ensue.

Overall I really like the book but I’d say read it- dont listen to this version. Just my opinion others may like the narration

Love hearing book from boys perspective. Really did not enjoy the narrator.

This is my 2nd time reading ATBTB and this time I did a tandem read with ZA1 and did them both as audio!

I absolutely love tandem reading these books!! I have to say it takes a little getting used to remembering to swap books after each chapter (or a couple of chapters) but I love seeing the multiple POVs together!!

ATBTB gives us such a different view to the start of the series, it made me like the boys more than I originally did after reading ZA1 solo.

Having said this, if this is your first read then I wouldn't recommend reading this book until after ZA6!!

I love Jake as a narrator!!

Amazing tandem audio reread

I absolutely loved this perspective on the story, an alternative and fantastic start to a brilliant and dark paranormal academy series. Every aspect was excellent, the individuality and uniqueness of each of the characters personalities that blended with amazingly strong chemistry, the suspense, mystery, secrets, sub plots. A gripping fast paced sizzling action packed storyline giving further insight into the start of this series from the boys point of views. The story and characters especially were brought to life by the narrator, with narration helping portray the events from the multiple male POV of the story, it is easy to differentiate the characters from the way the narrator infuses each individual characters personality into the narrative and their speech.

Fantastic alternative perspective
