Summary
You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy， where your star sign defines your destiny。
If you're one of the 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 this academy of supernatural a-holes。
Changelings were outlawed hundreds of years ago but I guess our birth parents didn't get the memo。 Which means we're totally unprepared for the ruthless world of Fae。
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 the 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。
We can't expect any help from the faculty when it comes to defending ourselves。 So if the dragon shifters want some target practice， the werewolves want someone to hunt or the vampires fancy a snack then we have to be ready。 But we've been looking after each other for a long time and fighting back is in our blood。
Today's horoscope: totally screwed。
This is a full-length medium burn novel that is the first in a university-age academy series。 Expect forbidden love and bully romance with mature content suitable for upper YA readers and onwards。

Great start to this series。

I love this book series so much， I love how it gives differently POV each chapter so you can see what’s happening from both sisters becuase it’s a lot to take in。 There are a lot of new terms and creatures I had to learn about but it made it worth it。 I could not put this book down。

I've found a lot of books through booktok lately that I didn't see very often on bookstagram， I've liked a few of them so far but I'm not sure how much I like the Zodiac Academy。 I haven't read many series with twins but I'm interested in Tory & Darcy's relationship， most of the books I read don't normally have healthy sibling relationships。 Zodiac Academy has been interesting so far but it feels very much like a Wattpad story & feels like it could be developed a little more。 I also know it's a I've found a lot of books through booktok lately that I didn't see very often on bookstagram， I've liked a few of them so far but I'm not sure how much I like the Zodiac Academy。 I haven't read many series with twins but I'm interested in Tory & Darcy's relationship， most of the books I read don't normally have healthy sibling relationships。 Zodiac Academy has been interesting so far but it feels very much like a Wattpad story & feels like it could be developed a little more。 I also know it's a bully romance but it's so。。。mean。 It almost makes me uncomfortable just how much the twins get bulled， how rude everyone is。 It's enough that it makes it hard to keep reading honestly but I want to see Tory & Darcy turn around & kick everyone's asses so we'll see。 。。。more

Did not finish I just couldn't finish this book。 It was so bad。 Why are we teaching young girls it's OK for guys to treat them this way？ If you like asshole guys who abuse women and the women think it's ok。。。this is the book for you。 This book was seriously cringey。 Did not finish I just couldn't finish this book。 It was so bad。 Why are we teaching young girls it's OK for guys to treat them this way？ If you like asshole guys who abuse women and the women think it's ok。。。this is the book for you。 This book was seriously cringey。 。。。more

there was parts of this book i found hard the bulling at the academy not only from students but teachers as well its not a school i would like to be at that's for surethe twins i loved them both Tory more fight and dory more quite both tried to stand up to others in their own way。 What i liked is they didn't suddenly find out they had these powers and then instantly know how to use them instead it takes them time which gives us time has readers to learn more about this world。 hard to read but i there was parts of this book i found hard the bulling at the academy not only from students but teachers as well its not a school i would like to be at that's for surethe twins i loved them both Tory more fight and dory more quite both tried to stand up to others in their own way。 What i liked is they didn't suddenly find out they had these powers and then instantly know how to use them instead it takes them time which gives us time has readers to learn more about this world。 hard to read but i so need to contiune this series 。。。more

I’mALL INNN Enjoyed the freak out of this book。 Was entirely unprepared。 Booktok has let me down with their recent recs but this is an old rec and one I’m sad I hadn’t picked up before。 The magic。 The darkness。 The everything。 Sure as clouds will be reading the next one ASAP

I don't know where to begin talking about this book。。。This is the first book in the series and I absolutely loved it！ It's about twin sisters Tory and Darcy who find out that they have magical powers and get whisked away to this Academy to learn all about their powers and how to use them。 Harry Potter vibes much？？ Ummm， yes please！！ Along the way these girls meet some people many of whom they can't decide if they can trust。 The twins keep uncovering some super interesting information。 It's a pag I don't know where to begin talking about this book。。。This is the first book in the series and I absolutely loved it！ It's about twin sisters Tory and Darcy who find out that they have magical powers and get whisked away to this Academy to learn all about their powers and how to use them。 Harry Potter vibes much？？ Ummm， yes please！！ Along the way these girls meet some people many of whom they can't decide if they can trust。 The twins keep uncovering some super interesting information。 It's a page turner for sure！ I didn't want to put it down！ This book has so much in it！ it has your typical orders such as vampires， werewolves， and sirens， but it also has lesser talked about mythological creatures such as Medusa， Harpy， Pegasus， Centaur， Sphinx， etc。 Which is super cool！ Not only that， but the characters are vulnerable！ They have to recharge their powers in order to keep using them！！ I've never seen this in a book and thought it was an amazing take on these powerful creatures！！ I'm constantly second guessing my theories。 After finishing this book I still can't decide what is going to happen or who is good and bad。 If you like fantasy， mystery， suspense with some spice you should definitely check out this book！ 。。。more

What in the actual fuck did I just read。 This came highly recommended and is loved by a lot of people that I love and respect， and I’m sure it may get better as you go on， but I did not like this book and it gave me a headache。 I’ve never even finished the Harry Potter series bc I don’t like it but there were enough Harry Potter references that made it cringe worthy for me。 I thought some of the characters were annoying and I thought the bullying was a bit far even for me and I am a bully romanc What in the actual fuck did I just read。 This came highly recommended and is loved by a lot of people that I love and respect， and I’m sure it may get better as you go on， but I did not like this book and it gave me a headache。 I’ve never even finished the Harry Potter series bc I don’t like it but there were enough Harry Potter references that made it cringe worthy for me。 I thought some of the characters were annoying and I thought the bullying was a bit far even for me and I am a bully romance lover。 The few romance / spicy scenes that we did get were OK。 I expect the magic system should probably keep getting better but right now everything was just kind of blah for me。 Don’t know if I will continue … The end 。。。more

Really liked this even though some of the pranks were a bit immature but it is a magic school of 18 year olds so expected it really。 My main issue was that even by the end I was still getting Tory and Darcy mixed up！ I had to keep reminding myself who was who and just feel like they could have been written to stand out a bit more。

DNF。 40% in， i couldn’t go on anymore felt like i’m wasting my time。 cringefest ， all over the place， the characters are so unlikable and so cringey。 even the whole world building is not good enough。 felt like fanfiction almost。 i’m sorry

Felt like a delicious Wattpad read， sucks you in and feels like trash TV but it’s oh-so-good！

Complicated feelings about this。 By the end of the book I was engaged and ready to immediately start the next one， so I liked it。。。right？ I dunno。 When people say its grown up Harry Potter， I'm genuinely wondering if JK Rawling is getting royalties off this， cause there are so many similarities。 The real difference is the level of threat that Tori and Darcy are under throughout the book。 Not knowing who they could trust made the book a little more interesting。 Hoping the girls step into their po Complicated feelings about this。 By the end of the book I was engaged and ready to immediately start the next one， so I liked it。。。right？ I dunno。 When people say its grown up Harry Potter， I'm genuinely wondering if JK Rawling is getting royalties off this， cause there are so many similarities。 The real difference is the level of threat that Tori and Darcy are under throughout the book。 Not knowing who they could trust made the book a little more interesting。 Hoping the girls step into their power a bit more as the series goes on。 。。。more

DNF @ 50%。 I tried。 I really did。 But it was all so silly and ridiculous。 The MCs were so immature with big "I'm not like the other girls" energy that I just couldn't keep going。 That and the names of the professors relating to the element they taught， like Professor Rockford teaching earth and so on。 I was looking forward to a Hana Yori Dango rewrite but this just wasn't the book for me。 DNF @ 50%。 I tried。 I really did。 But it was all so silly and ridiculous。 The MCs were so immature with big "I'm not like the other girls" energy that I just couldn't keep going。 That and the names of the professors relating to the element they taught， like Professor Rockford teaching earth and so on。 I was looking forward to a Hana Yori Dango rewrite but this just wasn't the book for me。 。。。more

Who is the love interest？！ I devoured this book in about 24 hours （with other responsibilities） and I think the most frustrating part is I have no clue who the love interest is， and there are two female protagonists so it is kind of difficult to follow who knows what。 This just isn't my cup of tea。 I would love to read the rest of the books but based on this first one， I am hesitant to make that time commitment :/ Who is the love interest？！ I devoured this book in about 24 hours （with other responsibilities） and I think the most frustrating part is I have no clue who the love interest is， and there are two female protagonists so it is kind of difficult to follow who knows what。 This just isn't my cup of tea。 I would love to read the rest of the books but based on this first one， I am hesitant to make that time commitment :/ 。。。more

Argh these ladies have the most addictive books！ The back and forth between the ‘bullying’ and the infatuation was the only loss of a star for me; I was so annoyed at the boys！！！！ Really excited to read the boys POV now though to see what went through their heads before I read book two。

So this was entertaining and while I enjoyed the interesting twist to an HP story， this was NOT a bully to romance or enemy to lover trope story。 This is ONLY bullying。 I want to find out what happens to the twins （well only Tory， she’s the interesting one） but I literally do not care about anyone else in the book。Huge TW for non-consensual acts and abuse。。
