We all need a Zade Meadows in our life to both protect and scare the s**t out of us. Book 1 kept me on the edge of my seat, and I read it in 2 days. If you enjoy dark romance, this is a must.
π Badass female MC
π Morally gray love interest
π Gothic vibes
π Enemies to lovers
Disclaimer: this book is a dark romance so read the trigger warnings! It's also a 2 book series (book 1 ends on a cliff hanger) and book 2 is rough.
Blurb:
The manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer.
The shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. The way she undresses...I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go. Not even when she begs me to.

QOTD: What's your favorite poem?
My favorite makes a cameo in all of my books. There's a whole chapter themed after it in the Predilection for Pain, dropping October 24th. Can you guess my fave?

π β¨ Book Review β¨π
Zodiac Academy (book 1): The AwakeningΒ
Tory and Darcy, poor twins from Chicago, are surprised to find out they are actually powerful Fae. They are swept away to attend Zodiac Academy where they are immediately pitted against their peers because of their true last name.Β Β
I liked the strong female MCs, as well as some of the support characters. Tory and Darcy have been through a lot and are natural fighters. This book contains all of my favorite things: elemental magic, shifted forms, and constellations.Β
β«π¨π¦π₯π
I didn't like the bullying. Book 1 is hard to get through. However, the reader quickly finds themselves rooting for Darcy and Tory and is left wanting more.Β
If you haven't started the Zodiac Academy series, you should. Book 8 comes out in December and will complete the series. While book 1 is a rough read, each book gets better and better.Β
Rating: βββ.5/5
Spice: π₯
Goodreads' description (shortened):
You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny.
If you're one of theΒ Fae, elemental magic is in your blood. And apparently it's in ours. As twins born in the month of Gemini, we're a rare breed even in thisΒ academy of supernatural a-holes.
Air. Fire. Water. Earth.
No one has ever harnessed all four of them, until we arrived. And it hasn't made us any friends so far.
As the rarest Elementals ever known, we're already a threat to theΒ four celestial heirs; the popular, vindictive bullies who happen to be some of the hottest guys we've ever seen. It doesn't help that they're the most dangerous beasts in the Academy. And probably on earth too.
Our fates are intertwined, but they want us gone. They've only got until the lunar eclipse to force us out and they'll stop at nothing to succeed.
We never knew we had a birthright to live up to but now that we do, we intend to claim our throne.
Today's horoscope: totally screwed.

Meet the female MC: Evie. She can brawl and thieve.
"I wasn't some prim and proper maiden. I was rough around the edges, built from a lack of parental supervision and evenings spent in a tavern with my father."
"I had to be willing to fight for myself because who else would?"
"He swung his fist, and I blocked it with my left forearm, using the distraction to land an upper hook with my right. His head je**ed backward, and I swept his feet out from under him, knocking him on his a**."
