This was a super short story that is told from the perspectives of Max and Geraldine. This is a novella that many people say you can skip if you would like and honestly I totally get it. I am not sure why I took the time to read this one haha.
“If you can’t handle the idea of me meeting other people, maybe even hooking up with them, then we can just call tine on thig thing between us. Because I’m not ever going to put my life on hold for a man. Especially one who doesn’t think I’m good enough to make the cut for the long term”

“Oh, silly boy,” Geraldine said as she looked down at me with wild eyes. “You didn’t think you’d be in charge here, did you?”

Synopsis
Once upon a moon, the wild wind whispered in my ear that the true queens were returning to Solaria and I made it my mission to open up their path to the throne so that they could slip right in like an oily oyster.
Now, on this most special and wonderous of days, the very day of their birth – I will prove myself to be the most loyal and dependable of their followers. Though of course, Venus is in my chart and Lady Petunia has caught sight of the bothersome barracuda once more.
Max Rigel is my most sinful of temptations, the shark in the dark who wishes to lure me to his sea cave and I don’t know if I’m Fae enough to resist him for long.
But one thing is for sure, I will make certain the Vegas get the big A.S.S. party they deserve for their birthday or I’ll die trying. Succulent squids be damned!
This is a 25k novella set in the world of Solaria during Book 5 of the Zodiac Academy series, Cursed Fates, featuring Geraldine and Max as they attend the party of the century and try to resist the lure of the moon as it pushes them together once more. It’s full of slippery salmons and more buttery bagels than you can shake a stick at and is best read after Cursed Fates.

Review
This book expands more into Max and Geraldine’s relationship. We get to see what happened the night of the Eclipse which was fun but pretty much everything after that night was kind of pointless. This Novella really didn’t add or take anything away from the series so if you didn’t feel like reading it that would have been ok!
Geraldine has a good heart but the way she talks is really annoying. It takes me completely out of the story and now you expect me to read those crazy words in the middle of a spicy scene and think “Oh wow, that’s hot!”.. Yeah no thank you!
Geraldine reminds me a bit of a Mormon Girl gone crazy. I grew up in the LDS (Mormon Church) and we would say all sorts of weird things instead of swearing or talking about something deemed “inappropriate”. I just see her and think of a good church girl who has a wild side and honestly I don’t really love that image. I am trying to leave all that behind haha.
I really like Max and I am glad that we could get some more of his POV as we don’t get to read from him often. He is the Heir that is the most in tune to his emotions and is willing to just vibe. I really hope we get to see more of his character in the next few books.
I will root for these two to be together but honestly, lets keep their romance closed door! Thank you!

QOTD: Does the way characters “talk” bother you at points in time?
