Book Review: “Zodiac Academy: Origins Of An Academy Bully” By Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

I debated if I should make a blog post about this book or not. It is less than 100 Pages long but the more I thought about it the more I decided it was for the best. Why not have all my thoughts on a series written down, despite the length?

Synopsis

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.

Review

This was a super quick read but it gave me so much info that I was missing!

Poor Orion… Losing his sister like that was brutal! I read this book after book 3 “The Reckoning” So he also had to relive his sisters death when watching Darcy, the girl he loves go through the very thing that killed her. The Trauma!!

Also… Darius is my new favorite character after this book… We all knew his dad was brutal but damn… I am so upset for him! How dare his father force this bond between him and Orion.. Orion had dreams..

“I despised the idea that we were enslaved to our fates.”
