Zodiac Academy: The Awakening
Zodiac Academy: The Awakening | Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham
22 posts | 40 read | 18 to read
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?

I enjoyed my #jolabokaflodswap book so much! I was flying to Arizona for the holidays so I read it in one sitting. Now to find the next book in the series while I‘m here. It‘s a school for gifted Fae and creatures. Lots of power hierarchies as it is yet to be determined who will be the new rulers of the realm. We get 2 povs from twin sisters who find themselves thrust into this school and out of the mortal world as their powers awaken. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am so disappointed. I do not understand the hype. I didn't expect best prosa but the storytelling wasn't above a mediocre wattpad story. The worldbuilding was minimum. The FMCs acted most stupidly and that did not reconcile with their background. Besides, there is only bullying and hate-lust, no way to be confused with romance. To sum it up, this book was not for me and I will not continue the series.

If you can get past the excessive bullying and cruelty the main characters endure the story is decent, I felt it was a quick and easy read. I am excited to see what the next book brings and how the rest of the story unfolds.

WOW! I preordered this boxset last March and it finally arrived! 😂 It was worth the wait, honestly! (Especially since I forgot that I ordered it!) It's the first four books in the Zodiac Academy series and they are signed, have spray painted page edges, custom endpapers, and foil stamped covers under the dust jackets! Absolutely gorgeous! 💕📚💕 #bookishbox

Just wondering what #lmpbc is all about, and how do I get involved? 📚😁💖

sprainedbrain Every 4 months, we sign up in groups of 4, and then each person in the group chooses a book to read, marking up as do so, and then sends to the other 3 in the group. At the end, you get your book back with notes from your group members. It‘s fun! Follow @suvata so you don‘t miss the next sign ups. 😃 2y

So far I‘ve only gotten to the 5th chapter, and I‘m hooked i can‘t seem to put the book down! So far Tory is my favorite, she seems to be a little spicy and knows what she needs to do to get it done in excited to keep reading and finding out how their journey blossoms.

Just picked this book up a couple of hours ago and can‘t put it down! I really hope it lives up to all the hype I‘m reading about! Thank you to my sister for giving it to me for my birthday!

A fun airplane read- to me it reads like Harry Potter fan fiction with Fae. Fun, fast, not spectacular- just one of those brain candy kind of books. Teo sisters discover they are Changelings- go to a school for Fae to develop skills and can‘t catch a break from sabotage and bullying- which seems crazy because once they learn how to use their power they will be pretty powerful.

I have succumbed to the hype.

This series is huge on Booktok, and my #booksister has been burning through them, so I had to check it out.

It‘s definitely adult Hogwarts but with fae (+vampires, shifters, sirens etc), sex, and SO MUCH bullying. Seriously these people are mean. It‘s not the best written thing I‘ve ever read, but it‘s far from the worst, too. It‘s addicting as hell and I will be continuing. 😅

I had to read this to see what all they hype was about, I see this series all over social media. I do think the storyis full of tension and I'm slightly curious to learn what happens next, this is still barely a so-so for me. I found both sisters voices to be very similar it is almost impossible to keep them straight. I think the biggest flaw was that there are no redeeming characters, everyone is awful making it impossible to root for anyone.

Rehesina I just couldn‘t get into it! It felt like a very meh book. 2y

This book reminds me a lot of the Crave series. It‘s like watching a fun CBS show. Easy and quick to read, with plenty of momentum.

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this book! I tore through it like a wildfire because I was so hooked and couldn't put it down! It really does live up to the description of trashy adult Harry Potter, but with Fae instead of wizards everyone's an asshole and there is a lot of sex. 🤣😂 I'm a bit embarrassed to say how much I love it! 💕📚💕 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #rumpel #jupiterjazz

This book didn‘t feel like it was just 411 pages, and I mean that in the most positive way. I buddy read this with my friend KC and @WJCintron and they flew through this faster than me. So much happened that I had to take breaks at times to read other things to ease my mind off a little. I can‘t talk about this without spoiling anything so all I‘ll say is yes…I fell into the hype and now I‘m a part of it 😭 Can‘t wait to read the rest!

jeannasser ZA STANS!! Let‘s discuss spoilers (mark them accordingly) in the comments!! Don‘t spoil the rest of the books for me though 😭 2y

I read these first 4 books of this series in a little less than 2 weeks. They are so good! And they get better and better as you read them. Definitely recommend
The Awakening-4 ⭐️‘s
Ruthless Fae- 4 ⭐️‘s
The Reckoning- 5 ⭐️‘s
Shadow Princess- 5 ⭐️‘s - so upset at the ending of this one though!
Overall this series is amazing and I am currently already reading the 5th book.

MizzGraham I‘m reading their other series “Kings of Quarantine” and it‘s good too! 2y

WTF BookTok? Why is this so huge? Bully romance? No...this is just a whole lot of toxic "I'm doing it because I want to and there's nothing you can do about it" with a couple nobody leads that just happen to be long lost, overly powerful once they come into it royalty because...of course they are...at a school for every mythological creature out there. Why?

Will I still continue because I got the first 3 expecting amazing things? *Sigh* Yeah....

FantasyChick We need more character allowance. I want to rant. 🤣 2y
