About this listen
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.

Solid start to a series

No curiosity to find out about their new world, no thought to look into their real parents, no real attempt to help themselves. Very frustrating as they only seem to care about the muscles on whatever men they were going back or forth on.
However, I do prefer one twin to the other. Hoping that book 2 and onwards will bear fruit in bringing about some depth.
Enjoyable…but frustratingly naive leads

I just hope they make the rest of the series into audiobooks because i love the effort put into voices and the way you feel close to the characters while listening.
I love it!

Audio:
The narration in this book brings the story to a whole new level! Bridget does a fantastic job of giving each character their own voice, and I had no problem hearing who was who. Her impression of Geraline is the best thing ever!
I had to deduct .25 star for the way the sounds were pronounced as words instead of sounds, which absolutely gave me the ick (ugh, argh etc.).
Story:
First of all, I was to add a massive trigger warning to this story as it depicts non-con in just about every shape and form. This world is brutal!
That being said, I loved the story. The word building is very interesting, and the main characters are great. Or I should say the FMCs are great as the MMCs are absolutely despicable. The heirs are the male equivalent of mean girls and are not suitable to rule anything other than their own ego in my eyes. I don't think I have ever experienced this amount of rage and frustration on behalf of a fictional character before. The Twisted Sisters sure know how to invoke strong feelings in their readers. The amount of abuse these poor girls have to endure is staggering, but I love their "take no shit" attitude. Tory has some serious ladyballs, I love her attitude and snarky remarks. I feel I can relate to Darcy's personality, choices and general clumsiness.
Geraldine is a precious gem and has stolen my heart.
Love it
