Review: Zodiac Academy: Origins of an Academy Bully

 


Title: Zodiac Academy: Origins of An Academy Bully Supernatural Bullies and Beasts 

Series: Zodiac Academy; Supernatural Bullies and Beasts

Authors: Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti 

Release Date: July 2019



Dark magic is forbidden at Zodiac Academy.

That's why I hide it so well.


But now I'm supposed to mentor Darius Acrux: the son of the most ruthless Dragon Shifter in Solaria.


If he's caught using blood magic, he'll lose his claim to the throne.


The problem is? Our families are up to something, and we're determined to find out what. No matter what dark power we must turn to...


Welcome to Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny.


As the Fae of the future, you will soon learn the merciless way to claim your power. Life among the Vampires, Shifters and Sirens is no easy ride, but if you can make it through your exams, you might just be able to harness your inner strength and earn your place among the elite.


This is a prequel novella set four years before Zodiac Academy: The Awakening, Book 1 in the Supernatural Bullies and Beasts series.



So this is my first read through for Zodiac Academy, & I started with Origins since it takes place a few years before Zodiac Academy book 1. 
I only know a little about the characters, based on what I know from Ruthless Boys series and I'm going in relatively blind. I will probably be spacing out some of the books throughout the year, partly because I've been in a huge book slump so taking on such a huge series all at once may do more harm. 
Origins introduces you a little to a couple of the making characters of Zodiac Academy- Lance & Darius. 
Darius is a newly awakened Dragon shifter, son of the most ruthless dragon shifters in the whole of Solaria & elite families. 
Lance is a vampire who's family has been tied with Darius' even before he was born. 
Their families were up to something, and together they were determined to find the answers even if it meant using Dark magic to get them. 
This was a novella that lets you meet two of the main characters in Zodiac Academy, and give you a little in sight on who they are and why they are the way they are before you get into the Zodiac Academy series. It was a quick read, and I enjoyed getting a glimpse into the characters lives. 
4⭐ out of 5⭐. 
0🌶️ out of 5🌶️.

Weekly Newsletter: February 2

  Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. I know it says weekly Newsletter & I know I have been taking two weeks each time to put out one 😂😂 I *want* it to be every week, but January is just super crazy over here. - but we'll see once things settle down some if it will stay every other week or if I switch to every week or not 😂😂.  This week, I got my preorder of Onyx Storm in (bday present), and we did my daughter's 10th bday party- she did bowling & invited a ton of friends! She also had a field trip to go skiing earlier in the week too which she liked.  Also here are the vibes I bring to the function but truthfully I probably won't go to the function - I am an introvert & don't people very well 😂😂 but it was a fun challenge to do on IG & TT either way. Do we share anything in common?  What I Read This Week:  Title: Onyx Storm  Series: The Empyrean  Author: Rebecca Yarros Review | Goodreads | Purchase Quote: “I am yours and you ...

  So this past weekend my aunt passed away.  But on a more positive note, this was my daughter's last week of school. She had half days all week and now she is home for summer break until after Labor Day in September.  And I finished up two books. We started rewatching Dexter, and watching season two of Perfect Match.  What I Read This Week:  Title: Leather & Lark Series: The Ruinous Love trilogy Author: Brynne Weaver   Release Date: June 04 So I love these characters, but this story had a lot of fluff, and at the end felt a little rushed. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here .  Title: Lights Out  Author: Navessa Allen   Rereleases August 06, 2024  I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was fun, and sexy and a great, quick read. 4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here What I Watched This Week:  What I Listened To This Week:  Weekly Meme:    Recent Releases  | Upcoming Releases  |  Freebies Title:...

Weekly Newsletter - June 13

  As my daughter's school year is winding down, they are trying to cram more things in it - from chorus concerts, to a play, to fun days, and field trips and parties... So it's been a bit hectic.  Also, last Thursday went to run errands before my daughter's chorus concert, & to grab Leather & Lark from Walmart (live in a small town. Walmart is the only place to buy books locally). And they were completely sold out 😭 So I ordered it online (Amazon "2 day shipping" still takes a week 😒). Plus I got a book last week - only UPS left it in a puddle. 😭 We were all home. Could have knocked or even honked or SOMETHING - but no. So also waiting on the replacement for that was well.  Also, I tried to convince my husband we needed to go to B&N in NYC (which is like 7 hours south of us give or take 😂😂) to meet Brynne Weaver to no success.  Annnddd... I tried the challenge of getting my husband to buy my wishlist for me for likes on social media... He wouldn...
