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🌶️.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...

Review: Bad Little Bride

  Title: Bad Little Bride Series: Girls of Greyson Author: Meagan Brandy Release Date: January 7, 2025 Degradation of the Desperate Daughter. That could be the theme song to my life.  Always second choice. Second best. Second born. Maybe that’s what possessed me to track down my father’s most formidable enemy, the infamous Enzo Fikile. He’s the nation’s most eligible bachelor, and the crime world I was born into’s biggest threat, but not because he wants to tear it down. No. This man wants to claim his place within it and if the whispers working their way around are anything to go by, he’s well on his way. And I just offered him a golden ticket, one he accepted with an unexpected spark in his eye. We signed our marriage contract that night, and the deal with the devil was done. I’m engaged to the man the rest of the world fears and there’s no going back. I expect to be tossed in a tower and left there, but my future husband has other plans. Dangerous ones. He wants the world t...
