Story
The Celestial Heirs think the stars are on their side. But they don't know what's coming. We have to be smart. Fighting them one on one isn't an option, so we have to be stealthy. Remaining under the radar won't be easy, but if we pull it off, they'll never suspect our involvement when their lives start falling apart.

Story
Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Gold. Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold. Even me. King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I’m called his precious. His favored. I’m the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don’t leave the confines of the palace, I’m safe. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

“Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight.” Those words changed my life, and not for the better. They were wrong, of course. I wasn’t dead. But I was set up. After being charged with a string of offences - and made an example of by my political-minded father - I’m eventually released back into Shadow Grove with one thing on my mind. Hate. Someone is going to pay for derailing my carefully laid-out future. How very convenient that someone just moved into the bedroom down the hall from me.

3-Book Review
- By The Lone Trekkie on 11-13-20
By: Tate James
Publisher's Summary
I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae. But of course, there’s a catch - all I have to do to claim my birthright is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true, as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.
The school they’ve sent me to is both dangerous as sh*t and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon, and don’t even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on people’s emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy. Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if I’m going to beat down my classmates - which is actively encouraged, by the way.
My biggest problem is the droolworthy Dragon shifter who has his eyes on my throne. He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell. All I’ve got to do is survive. But fate might have other ideas. Dammit, why couldn’t I have gotten a letter to Hogwarts?
This is a dark, bully romance - don’t go expecting a sweet school for magic with friends around every corner. Fae fight for everything they own and Zodiac Academy is a cutthroat school for students aged 18+ where only the strongest prevail. There’s no Dumbledore here to save anyone’s ass, and Lionel Acrux will give Voldemort a run for his money in the evil dictator category. So hold onto your stardust (broomsticks not required) and get ready for a bumpy ride.

This is not ‘hot bullying’
This is not my first bully romance by any means, however the bullying in this gets progressively worse and irritating. In other bully romances, yes the guy is horrible and cruel but they show moments of kindness, there’s some balance. This story had very few such moments.... The twins are the victims yet you can’t help but dislike them too. I’m not looking for a Mary Sue but dang can’t they learn more? The authors barely talked about them practicing at all! We don’t have to be at the point where we can kick the celestial heir’s bums but not even their minions? Seriously? And apparently it’s like that until the 5th book, Not sure if I can hang on long enough even though I love the story’s premise and astrology.

No girl power!
The heroines we're fairly worthless. They were as clueless about magic at the end of the book as they were at the beginning. Perhaps if the writer wasn't so busy planning the next possible rape or torture they could have squeezed some time in for the heroines to actually learn some magic. Strong start but you keep waiting for a climax that never happens.

Not worth the hype
I was excited to read listen to this book, but was sadly disappointed by the end of it. The story line started off good and I was excited to see where the story went with the two main characters. Halfway through the book it felt like the character's descriptions of being strong twins bonded together from a rough upbringing was completely forgotten. They went from strong to weak in a matter of 2 days at the academy. The bullying was obsessive, and no glimps of hope came from the constant foolishness that the girls had when being bullied. There was no reason that the girls should have shown a glimpse of liking to the boys after what they put them through, alcohol or not. I also found it difficult to see an kind of romantic relationship forming between the girls and the boys in the upcoming books. Seriously how is any of the bullying okay with them enough to start seeing them later on in the series??? I was also waiting for the girls to harness their power.....even a little bit but was again disappointed when they were right where they started from the beginning of the book.

Eh
I really wanted to love this, with girls that have been through so much they are easily tricked whiny. There is no thread of strength. I had to see if this was written by a man. Nope.. it made me sad that the writers felt the need to make strong women so weak especially when it comes to sex. The story could be so amazing.

Aurora Academy series was sooooooo much better.
I remember listening to the audio sample and decided not to purchase it. Then I came across the Aurora Academy series and loved it. But what I didn’t know was both were part of the same story line. So after being so happy with Aurora Academy I decided to purchase Zodiac Academy. How disappointing! There were several parts of the book that made zero sense. I skipped at least 4 chapters just to get to the good stuff. I didn’t miss anything because of the constant drawn out repeat of what they went through. I’m truly hoping that book 2 isn’t as overly dramatic and makes more sense like the Aurora Academy one. I do really like the story line.

the storyline is promising but the first book truthfully doesn't move the storyline past weak women who don't know anything nor do they learn anything. the last chapter was great, however the rest of the book was a repetition over and over.

I’m Gemini… No wait WE are gemini or WE ARE TWINS
So im just 7 chapters in and I’m considering to put it down.
1. It’s not one main character but 2, twins none the less.
2. The “sexual tension” is the girls being assaulted and bullied by the higher ups.
And 3. It’s the typical “ your from another world and not only that but you are royals”
If it was less attention to how the boys look and actually think that “ hmm, this is assault. Maybe not have that in here and calling it “sexual tension” is the way to go.”
It has potential with the magic and fantasy era, but it misses when it tries to be steamy.
Another thing that bothers me is the miss leading intro to the book. Had it said we are Gemini and we are fae, it would have been more true then “ I am Gemini and I am fae.”
I picked it up on a recommendation from tiktok expecting a bad ass leading lady who tries to build her powers and gets beef with the bad boy of the school who actually falls for her. But was thrown in some mello drama of twin sisters where one is cute and quiet while the other is a total “I don’t care- bitch” and ohh shit they are long lost princesses who went missing years ago.

Meh..
I found the environment and magic system quite interesting and would love to explore in the future. I came into this book with the expectation for it to be steamy, but even still, all I got was a story about girls who talked about being strong, with the story attempting to keep sexual tension as if it was OK, completely glossing over the fact that they were assaulted and bullied. I love enemies to lovers / rival dynamics any day, but this just felt like the twins were dumb, for some reason always focusing on the guys looks, even when they were in situations no real horny person would ever be horny about. Certain scenes it did work, but the horniness was too much, and I've read much spicer stories. There honestly wasn't much pay off for the sexual tension to work and the girls were just punching bags throughout the whole story, where there was constant repetition of the same things about "not letting them get the satisfaction" or "being stronger than they think" with no actions to back it up. I find this to be quite a shame, as I genuinely enjoyed following the characters when they weren't unnecessarily ogling each other. The twist at the end kept me hooked and I think it was well executed especially with Darcy, however I don't know if I'll continue reading as the constant pushing the girls around with not much proper development on their side has put me off. If they learned any proper magic at all or if what they did learn had actual impact, I'd probably overlook the poorly executed sexual tension. I was waiting for one of the to finally snap, and let the heirs show they need to take them more seriously, show SOME potential. However no such thing happened and I felt quite disappointed.

I tried to read this book a few times when it was hyped up on booktok but just could get in to it! I’ve had the audio booo downloaded for ages and randomly tries it on my drive home! Ans when I say I have been missing out I really mean it! Absolutely loved it

Good Start
Good start to this academy series. Tory and Darcy are like chalk and cheese Tory makes known what she thinks whilst Darcy seems to be more laid back. Love the narration from Bridget and Jake Bordeaux.

The Awakening
This is the first book in the Zodiac Academy series. This is probably one of the most unique set ups for a series. The story is told from a set of Gemini twin sisters. Tory and Darcy know the struggle of the real world. They have been bouncing from different foster homes since their parents deaths. They have not had it easy. A stranger comes to take them to their real home and reveals that they aren’t quit human. They are the lost Fae Vega Royals. They get their inheritance if they can survive Zodiac Academy. I can’t wait to start the next book! Bridget Bordeaux did an incredible job narrating this book.

The stars will grab you
Book 1 in the series.
Caroline and Susanne wrote a heart gripping story full of mystery, suspense and so many levels.
The heroines ( 2 twins ) find out when Orion ( a hero ) tells them they aren’t human but they belong into another realm , the Fae realm . Darcy and Tory ( the twins ) once they get to the Fae realm find out they posses all the earth elements. Their are 4 boys that believe that they are the ruling men
Action packed with enough steamy scenes to keep the reader on their toes. The characters developed as the story progressed and you grew to love each and every single one of them.
Bridget Bordeaux performance of the story was , is fantastic. Love how she did all the characters, both male and female

These ladies could use a thesaurus
The main characters are unfazed by the new world they are thrown into and seem more bothered about the looks of the men that are horrid to them. Get better role models and avoid this book

chapter on chapter of detailed bullying
I only made it to chapter 11 before I decided I most definitely have better things to do. If I wanted to be reminded about how horrible bullying and emotional torture can be I would go online and read true stories or watch the news. it just carried on and on and on....congratulations after 15 years with audible I am returning my first book ever. it was also extremely difficult to follow who was talking ...Tory or Darcy. i am hoping the book gets better, but I have had enough to not even want to try

fantastic story
I love this world that has been created and the characters in it. If you like Harry Potter and A court of thorns and roses I would totally recommend this book. Can't wait to read the others.

Potential gone to waste
I feel like the story didn’t really develop. I could tell you almost the same information about where the story was going from the first few chapters as I could at the end. The bullies repeatedly triumph. The main characters just seem immature and unwilling to apply themselves. Whilst the bullies are cruel and no one deserves that abuse…. They could have worked a lot harder to protect themselves and learn about themselves. I don’t feel they grew at all throughout the book.

Came here after ruthless boys of the zodiac
So maybe that’s coloured my judgment because I know it’s going to get really good. Wish the rest of the books in the series were in audible though

+18 Bully Paranormal - where is the romance? wtf?
I really disliked this book and I'm not sure I'll be reading the next in the series despite the hype around it all over TikTok and stuff. I know there are a lot of people who love this series and most of those who now love the series also found reading the first book really difficult so as I understand it, the 'pain' gets you addicted?? lol
I might give the rest of the series a chance at a later stage, but the first book was just really painful! SERIOUS BULLYING and not much else. It's meant to be a romance...? There was not a whiff of it.

OMG- please NEVER stop writing this series
I've just finished the last book available on Audible and seriously, this is one of the best series I've read.
These books will have you screaming, crying, laughing, loving, hot under the collar and so many more emotions.
Do yourself a favour and read these books- yes okay there's some bullying, and yes it's hard to endure at times but I swear if you stick with it and ride the wave you will not be disappointed and you will absolutely adore this series. TRUST ME. Go on the journey and live this story!

Decently entertaining
This was entertaining. The main plot didn’t really start until near the end of the book. Not to high fantasy world building so was easily followed in audio format.

unnecessary
I decided to get this book because so many people love the series and characters. After listening to this book I'm unsure about the hype. I personally didn't like this book but maybe the next book will have some redeeming qualities. So far, I'm not a fan.
