About this series
The shadows are in my blood.
I can feel them crawling through me, slithering under my skin and taking me hostage. But the darkness within me isn't nearly as bad as the darkness that lives around me.
The four Celestial Heirs will stop at nothing to destroy the lives of me and my sister. But they haven't figured out yet, that we're the strongest creatures they've ever known.
And when that secret comes out, we need to be ready to face them as well as any other cruel Fae who rises against us.
It’s us or them. And it damn well won’t be us.
Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

- The Awakening [Dramatized Adaptation]: Zodiac Academy 1
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 birth right 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 drool worthy 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. Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

- Ruthless Fae [Dramatized Adaptation]: Zodiac Academy 2
They tried to break us. They almost did. But we're not going anywhere. 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. Besides, they've already taken us to the brink of hell, what more can they really do? Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

- The Reckoning (2 of 2) [Dramatized Adaptation]: Zodiac Academy 3
“The answer to your question will be revealed on the Lunar Eclipse. But when discovering the truth, do not let the shadows take you.” Hell Week has begun. Senior students have been tasked with making the freshmen's lives pure torture as we prepare to face The Reckoning - the assessment that will decide whether we stay at Zodiac Academy or lose our places here forever. With the Lunar Eclipse on the horizon, my sister and I have more to worry about than just passing our exams. A dark plot is unfolding and the shadows are drawing closer. It looks like our enemies could be more powerful than we ever realised. Damn, who would have thought being a princess would be this hard?

It was ok but I wanted more and not that much focus on the smut - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

The background music and sound “effects” were just horrible! So distracting and didn’t seem to fit the feel or theme of the book. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

Definitely had be running to get the second book! Loving this series - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5

Honestly felt like a wattpad book written by a tween. In fact, I probably would have enjoyed it if I read it when I was 12. Almost DNF. For some reason I feel compelled to try the second book in the series to see if there is any improvement on this terrible writing and painfully cringe-worthy characters. So far I don’t understand the hype. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5

I think the audio ends early, mine quit in the middle of a sentence… the book is phenomenal though!!! - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5

Missing the rest of the book. Really should fix that - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Obsessed!! I blew through 3 books in a week. I could not stop listening! It felt like watching a movie. Sure, the music at times was a little mis matched, but other times it was perfect for the scene. I could tell all the characters apart without the narrating of "he/she said" after every sentence. Love love love it! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Very plot driven. Little world building. Fun, a good palate cleanser for after finishing a long series. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

Juvenile writing style. Immature characters. Pretty basic world building. I’ve heard it gets better marginally. Also the bully to romance trope apparently takes 2.5 books to evolve. Long time to push through to get to the ‘good part’. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5
Nov 6, 2024
This book felt very (g)rapey, the main protagonists were constantly being violently in this world and the characters were either too strong, by standers, or useless. Also the character’s archs were inconsistent- an authority figure takes them to this new world and is a hater the next day? Guys are literally about to harvest on these girls… and we’re supposed to keep reading. Maybe bully romance just isn’t for me but there was no redeeming qualities of the school for those girls to stay. I only enjoyed the world building part of the book, a beautiful, mystical place… were everything is flat out evil or too weak to push the margins. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5

Bully porn, humiliation, dumb characters. I wish this had more warnings on it, I can’t imagine reading this if you…like women? It’s so strange1 person found this helpful
