The Zodiac Queen: Season Two is filled with dominance, lust, twelve sexy hot alphas, and a defiant, innocent young Queen. There’s plenty intrigue, secrets, and shocking revelations in this exciting series that you won’t want to miss!

Part four “Cancer” is Dr Vance Morgan, the fourth of the twelve Zodiac’s. Vance is not what you would expect, after the first impression of him from the examination in “Aries”, you think he is cold and unapproachable. But when Novalee is his charge for the month you get to see a different side to him, he is understanding, calm, loyal and thoughtful with an unexpected quirk. Though no new revelations or secrets are revealed in this book, you do get to see the struggles that Novalee under goes with her feelings for two men.
Liam (Aries) has a moment with Novalee that I felt was a little unfair to Sebastian (Leo) (He’s my guy). I’m not a true fan of Liam and i get a little annoyed when he is mentioned in the book, especially in the library and suit scene. I’m not sure what it is yet but there is something about him that irritates me.
Sebastian of course makes a impressive and unforgettable appearances, he is the next book to be released and I am SUPER excited for that one as I am #TeamSebastian all the way...
This book seemed to be way too quick, I literally devoured it in just under two hours, which I feel is not very fair to Gemma considering all the time, energy and hard work she put in it to give us such an enjoyable story. But I guess I’m just greedy when it comes to such an interesting, intriguing, addictive and exciting book. Well done Gemma on another successful instalment to the Zodiac series. I’m looking forward to reading Sebastians next. Is there anyway to make the next eight books all about him and not the other Zodiacs?
Part five “Leo” is Sebastian Stone, the fifth of the twelve Zodiac’s. now Sebastian as made so many memorial moments throughout this series so far and I had been anxiously waiting for his book. Sebastian comes off cocky, arrogant, impulsive and a little distant, but this book gives you a whole new side to him. Although at times his temper, obsessiveness, jealous gets the better of him we see a sweet, attentive, romantic and affectionate side as well. The lion has had my heart from the beginning and he has now gone and completely stolen it.
The ups and downs in this short book will having you dealing with whiplash, but the chemistry between Novalee and Sebastian can not be ignored. I just hope that Liam (Aries) and Lilith (Landon (Gemini) sister) don’t ruin what they have, especially after that massive bomb that was dropped at the end. It was a complete an utter WTF moment...
How are these two going to survive the next 7 months when there is so much unresolved issues to deal with?
I am really loving this series and I can’t wait to see what’s next to come.

Part six “Virgo” is Miles Sinclair, the sixth of the twelve Zodiac’s.
I have absolutely no idea what to say or where to begin with this book. I knew it was going to be an emotional and devastating read after the way things ended in ‘Leo’ but I was not prepared for this one little bit. I am utterly speechless, I’ve read it twice already cause I just want to make sure that I did indeed just read this correctly. Gemma, what the actual heck?
Firstly that ending uh hell to the no that is NOT ok. Secondly Sebastian, oh my heart, SEBASTIAN!!! Thirdly Ms James just take my heart now as it’s useless now, it’s completely and utterly broken and destroyed.
So if you have read the previous five books you know the drill for this series, Novalee must spend a month with each of the 12 Zodiac men. So far we have meet Liam (Aries) the Chancellor, Heath (Taurus) the j*rk, Landon (Gemini) the sweetheart, Vance (Cancer) the Doctor and Sebastian (Leo) the smooth talking heartbreaker artist (I’m might be biased as I’m a Leo) and now it’s Miles (Virgo) the Virgin.
There is so many big no no moments in this book. Novalee has been spoken down to, treated like crap, locked up, and man handled. But I think the treatment and invasive of the way Miles treats her in this book would have to be the most atrocious to date. The only light and hope Novalee has is Sebastian, that in 6 months she could be married to him.
My train of thought and emotions are all high wired at the moment I am an emotional train wreck, so many uncertainties and unknowns. I don’t know how I’m going to survive the wait till ‘Libra’ is done. I’m not sure I want to see what Pax has in store for Novalee, but I need to know what is going to happen after the way this ended. Someone send me chocolates, meditation music, tissues and a paper bag to take deep breaths into. I’m going to need it all...

All right. So, at last I still couldn’t help myself and chose to continue reading it.
Gosh. The story is just so good. Secrets after secrets. Plots after plots.
Many ppl might found this story a bit disgusting. Like I said, who would ever thought of a girl spending each month with each man. And that’s not all, she would still have many protocols to follow surrounding these men after her marriage. Gosh. Just, hello? Where the hell is the respect for girls???
But continue reading it, I start to think that who in this world isn’t just another Novalee or all these twelve men. We all have traditions and protocols and so many rules that we must follow. Even if they all sound absurd. Somehow, we are stuck in these traditions and have no way out. Perhaps it’s not as disrespectful and disgusting as what the Zodiac Island has, but it’s actually one and the same. That’s probably what hits me the most and the main reason why I have a high opinion of this book. Well done, Gemma James, well done.

A bit too dark of a read for me. I like dark reads, but the power dynamics here were off for my tastes. The blatant abuse of power, force, and manipulation on an 18 year old girl made me pretty uncomfortable. Read up the the 6th book, but don’t see myself continuing. This author writes super hot scenes, which is why I made it this far but after Miles and Sebastian’s situation, I’ve read enough and am not looking to proceed.

Jumping into the second season book this month I really wanted to continue Novallees story.
She finds out a harrowing secret from her most trusted current love but she can't overlook the possible threat he's posing in her life.
I'm really happy she is able to overcome some of the worst members of the zodiac brotherhood and is able to spend time with Sebastian.

This season is not as exciting as the first, but my god, I am so ready for the next one. Holy cow. I was fine and straight faced the entire read UNTIL I got to the end. I closed the book with my mouth agape.
Vance so far of this bunch is my favorite. Sebastian has lost some points with me. Miles isn't even on my mind.

Things are getting good!!
After the season one book I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue this series but this one has got me hooked!!!!! I am loving Novalee and Sebastian and am ready to see what their future holds. I’m also ready to see what happens to Liam after the stunt that he just pulled.

Fabulous story
Captivating, twisted, with diverse characters. The heroine is naive as she starts her journey but with each monthly experience grows in strength but cannot fight the system without punishment.
I read around 200+ books a year and this collection is one of my favourites. It would make a great film!

book is okay, I don’t think I’m a fan of the arranged marriage trope but it’s interesting. It’s kind of a slow burn even with it being a trilogy it’s still barely getting to the main plot. I won’t read the book again it’s not my favorite, wish they was more spice and more dominant men in it but it’s ehh
April 24, 2025
This book defiantly had more grit to it, I really reallllly liked Vance in this book! Sebastian my sad boi🥲 although the push and pull became annoying I do love the way he loves novalee. Miles is a indoctrinated weirdo who needs to get a clue, we end on quite a big cliff hanger but I’m not rushing to get into the next book
April 15, 2021
It continues! More spicy book with plot! Check trigger warnings. Some of the acts are degrading and graphic. It plays into the book setting/ culture of the book- men oversee and control women. Plot is really interesting, different idea. Can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Girls rule the world
Novalee is her own morally grey character. She was born to show these men how it's supposed to be. Novalee is going to take all these men and show them how it's done.

Vorrei sapere che ho letto.
Ma la situazione peggiora sempre di più…
Sebastian non so se fai bene o male
Liam CHE CAPPERO STAI FACENDO?! (Lo odio)
Lei non ho capito il senso se c’è o ci fa, almeno nella parte finale c’è un po’

4⭐
La storia continua a piacermi molto seppur cominci a diventare un po' noiosetta e scontata. Questo perché ogni mese di ripete la stessa dinamica e per di più, nel mese dello scorpione, che mi aspettavo molto più burrascoso, ho trovato il tutto troppo piatto e romantico. Le storie sono sempre più spicy (4-5/5🌶️) ma dipende dal volume.

These books are dark. I would definitely say you need to know what you’re going into reading these books. I went in blind which was a mistake. These books include various potentially triggering topics such as SA, lack of consent, physical abuse, and rape. None of the relationships between the MC and the love interests are healthy. However, if you go into the books knowing that and still wanting to read them, there are some redeeming qualities. I would have liked to see a stronger character arc and development of Novalee, but I’m hoping as the story progresses, that will happen. Some of the characters also seem a little surface level, but I’m also hoping with further books that will change. I’m intrigued enough to keep reading because I do want to know what happens next.

Ho letto tutti e otto libri perché si, per ora abbiamo conosciuto solo 8 dello zodiaco...sto patendo? Assolutamente si.
Non vogliatemi male ma il primo amore non si scorda mai, sono #teamliam (. Sebastian? Pur essendo cosi' sensuale purtroppo ahimè è un leone come me e nulla, non andiamo proprio d'accordo I nostri bei cavalieri sono i seguenti:
Ariete
Toro
Gemelli
Cancro
Leone
Vergine
Bilancia
Scorpione
Ogni mese la protagonista, Novalee, dovrà passarlo in una casata. Ognuno di loro ha il proprio carattere, ha il proprio ego, ha i propri segreti che ad ogni libro verrà rivelato. È un dark romance, per eccellenza, seppur ogni libro sia di piccole dimensioni ci sono scene di sesso esplicito, di violenza fisica, psicologica e un bel po' di linguaggio a dir poco forte e volgare.
Quindi se non avete una mente aperta a questo genere di cose, evitate, perché creare polemiche proprio no, i libri vanno vissuti, capiti e apprezzati anche se magari un genere non fa per voi.
