Synopsis
You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny.
If you’re one of the Fae, elemental magic is in your blood. And apparently it’s in ours. As twins born in the month of Gemini, we’re a rare breed even in this academy of supernatural a-holes.
Changelings were outlawed hundreds of years ago but I guess our birth parents didn’t get the memo. Which means we’re totally unprepared for the ruthless world of Fae.
Air. Fire. Water. Earth.
No one has ever harnessed all four of them, until we arrived. And it hasn’t made us any friends so far.
As the rarest Elementals ever known, we’re already a threat to the four celestial heirs; the popular, vindictive bullies who happen to be some of the hottest guys we’ve ever seen. It doesn’t help that they’re the most dangerous beasts in the Academy. And probably on earth too.
Our fates are intertwined, but they want us gone. They’ve only got until the lunar eclipse to force us out and they’ll stop at nothing to succeed.
We never knew we had a birthright to live up to but now that we do, we intend to claim our throne.
We can’t expect any help from the faculty when it comes to defending ourselves. So if the dragon shifters want some target practice, the werewolves want someone to hunt or the vampires fancy a snack then we have to be ready. But we’ve been looking after each other for a long time and fighting back is in our blood.
Today’s horoscope: totally screwed.

Review
Zodiac Academy: The Awakening is very much a “first book.” There is a lot of setup and world-building, and though the story does get going, there is still a lot of mystery.
I’ve heard the comparison of this being an adult Harry Potter, and I get it. Two orphaned girls were told they are magical and then swept away to a boarding school. The world-building was excellent. The magic system was well explained and original. I liked that there was a mixture of magic and magical creatures. We’ve read vampire books before, but not a vampire that has water magic. I also thought tying this to the zodiac was fun and original.
I liked the characters. Interestingly, these sisters are the two main characters. I haven’t read a book like this, and I have to admit there were times when I couldn’t tell which character I was reading. I know there will be romance in this book and that this isn’t a reverse harem, but there are a lot of potential love interests, so I am very curious to see how all the plays out.
I will certainly be continuing with this series, and I am excited to see where this goes. If you’re looking for a paranormal romance, this might be a good one to check out.
