"Everything in Solaria is about power, Miss Vega. Don't forget that. Everyone takes what they want. It's our way."
Orphans Darcy and Tory have been thrown into different foster homes all their lives but when they finally find a place to themselves they are exposed to the truth of their birth parents, the last King and Queen of Solaria, the world of faes. Competing for a throne for a kingdom they never knew existed isn't what the twins planned but their inheritance money is something they ...more

"Everything in Solaria is about power, Miss Vega. Don't forget that. Everyone takes what they want. It's our way. And if you don't start taking it yourself, you're going to fail at this Academy before you've even attempted to pass The Reckoning."
And it's this mantra that is repeated to both Darcy and Tory countless times after arriving at Zodiac Academy and learning the life they have believed to be theirs was a lie. And it's also this mantra that haunts their every steps once at the Academy as everyone ...more
I thoroughly loved this book. It is Harry Potter meets the Hunger Games with a dash of Marissa Meyer's Cinder . Tory and Darcy are kick-ass heroines and I like that the story takes a lot of twists and turns. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Update: I have been obsessing about this book in the same way as when I first read Twilight - highly recommended to anyone who enjoyed that series.

OMG! I need to breath...

The Story of the Twins Darcy and Tory that were raised in foster care... They had a horrible upbringing bouncing to foster family to another.

Anyone who was captured by the Harry Potter series as a child and have since grown up will be similarly entranced with this series. This is the slightly risque, dark, and mysterious compliment that we have been waiting on to continue our dive into the world of fantasy and magic. The added twist of including the astrological aspects like star signs makes it more interesting and gives a refreshing change from other academy focused novels. Everything is there that we expect from vampires, werewolv

This was an amazing start to a new series! Orphans Darcy and Tory Vega have been in and out of foster homes their whole life, but upon turning eighteen they were kicked out of their last one without being able to pack. Weeks later and running out of money, both girls are trying to get money just to scrape by. A mysterious man encounters both of them and he finally gets them alone. As it turns out, they were switched at birth from a world of fae and are the lost heirs to Solaria. Even though they

This is by far my favourite start to a series. This book is absolutely fantastic and I enjoyed reading it, I literally devoured it in a day.
Zodiac Academy: The Awakening is a whole new take on the zodiac and mythological creatures. I loved all the different aspects of the book.

Oooh this was so good. Zodiac Academy is not for the faint of heart, and Darcy and Tory are finding that out the hard way. It's challenging enough finding out you are actually fae and were abandoned in the human world by your birth parents. Throw in that you are actually royalty and your return has disrupted the system put in place by the most powerful fae families, and you've got all the targets on your back. But Darcy and Tory are resourceful and stubborn, and they keep fighting through it all

love this shit stars*****
finally, some ladies in a bullly romance that aren't door mats.. could they be stronger, YES! but this is a definite upgrade from the bitches in all other bully romances i've come accross. thank God its not a RH cause some of the guys are real douche bags... and a near death experience is unforgivable as far as i'm concerned. so we will see how it plays out

I received a free copy for an honest review. For some reason, I had it in my head that this was going to be different. I am both delighted and dismayed that I was wrong. As soon as I started to hope for something, the plot slapped me in the face. I just don't know what to root for in this book other than Tory and Darcy becoming the Fae they were destined to be. The fact that nothing happens the way you want it to just makes it that much more of an obsessive read. I'm left with so many questions

Zodiac Academy: The Awakening is the first book in a new series by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. I really like there writing style and although I never read a bully romance, and didn't totally think it was for me, I do love forbidden teacher romance. So I decided to give it a chance. And it totally paid up. I love the story. I just had to finish the book. I can't wait for the next book!
Absolutely loved this book .
The introduction to the characters and the Zodiac Academy is amazing .
Everything you think you know or feel could be so deceiving who knows who is with or against the twins ........ just when you think Darcy or Tory are getting a break something happens .
PROFESSOR ORION OMG I am so girl fanning over him...........
All I will say is this book is just the tip of the Iceberg of what is yet to come.

Tory and Darcy were never your average girls. Twins who grew up in foster care thrown out as soon as they turned 18. They have both known their fair share of troubles and have led interesting lives doing what they can to get by, like stealing limited edition motorcycles. However, one day their world as they know it is turned upside down by a “professor” and life will never be the same. I really enjoyed this book. I ...more

We all know I'm a fangirl for all things dark, twisted and just a little fucked up 🙈 WELL. Imagine The Cruel Prince (by Holly Black) meets Akarnae (by Lynette Noni) 😆
For those who might not know those series or not read them yet, this book is based around fae who are not exactly friendly (OK they are VERY unfriendly and VERY sadistic) and a power struggle between current ruling heirs of the fae and the old Royal families missing twin queens who were raised mortal coming back to the f ...more

This book was really amazing, I love the Twins each having her own personality and their own personal stories. I love the world that they were thrown into amazing world building and I honestly can’t wait to find out more about it. Now the Four Heirs are bad so so so bad but damn are they hot, maybe I just have a thing for bad guys. But Darius and Caleb are the ones I like the best even though yes they are bullies and bad guys. I love the School as well even though it is a creature eat creature s

If Voldemort and Umbridge had children, they would be the Heirs! At times the story and their actions were downright brutal but I couldn't stop turning the pages. The need for their redemption and my desire to unravel the mystery of the Vegas heritage and mystery attacks overroad the more difficult parts of the story. It drew me in from page one and I loved how complex and layered the characters and storyline were, definitely kept my attention. This is DARK fantasy and has a unique spin on Zodia

Loved reading the phenomenally, extraordinary paranormal story. After Professor Orion tells Darcy and Tory their origins, Royal Vega Twins from the Fae World, Darcy and Tory are brought to Zodiac Academy. The four celestial heirs, Darius, Caleb, Max, and Seth, do not want someone taking their places in the kingdom. Meanwhile, dark forces are working against the Fae and the Vega Twins. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and riveting paranormal story from the first page until the la

I absolutely loved this book, I stayed up all night just to finish it. There is a lot of mystery surrounding the twins. You don't know who is good or who is evil. Darcy and Tori have a long hard journey ahead of them. I can't wait for the next book to see where the journey leads them. Congratulations to Caroline and Susanne for another great book..
So in the beginning I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy this or not but once I settled down to read it I found that I just could not put it down! I was totally drawn into this world that these two authors have built and it’s fae academy and found that human or supernatural you still have the bullies, the mean girls, the nice quiet group and teachers that abuse their position and powers! I love Darcy and Tori, hate the heirs and that ending OMG, I really must read the next book ASAP!
......absolutely terrible
So, this is quite literally, my 1st ever bully romance. I know Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti can do some amazing world building with their story lines so I figured I would go with some of the best for my 1st. And Lord knows, the reason I kept away so long, the bullying, that I knew I wouldnt like, was so strong in this book. I had to keep reminding myself, they're Fae, not human, they're Fae not human but even then, I kept hoping that someone, anyone, would show some kind of compassion, a

I enjoyed this first book. You were introduced to wonderful characters and some not so wonderful characters. I love the girls you can relate to both of them and they feel real like someone you know. There is so much mystery and evil lurking everywhere. I can’t wait for the next book!

Tory and Darcy
What the heck! This book was insane and intense and scary and awesome. Tory and Darcy are thrust into a whole new world and they can't trust anyone. Para and bully deliciousness with a crazy fear factor and a chemistry between these characters that won't quit... I don't know who will end up with who or if any of them end up together lol But this book has me in its grip hook, line, and sinker.

I was so lucky to get an ARC of Zodiac Academy from the authors - in exchange for an honest review of course.
I am not sure that I can do justice to this book with my review, but I will try.
I absolutely love the character depth and just how each and everyone is completely fleshed out. I can't help but adore Darcy.
