rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So here is a little fun fact about book 4 of zodiac academy I actually almost DNFed this 🤥 (I know that is insane) series not in a bad or real way to be honest but because of the ending in book 3 because I was so mad and then I was like that’s a little dramatic🤣 so I started book 4 and wow did it deliver here is my full review
The Review ✦
This is my first official review besides little comments on goodreads so here it goes hopefully you enjoy because I had so much fun writing it. This is the non spoiler portion, ok let’s get into it: First off I LOVE Darcy and Tory, I love their dynamic I love both of them and their personalities and I felt for Tory in this book so much, I will get into it more in the spoiler section😭 but I feel like Tory gets so much hate especially in the beginning but I love her. The pacing in this book was really good the zodiac series really just pulls you in and you can’t put it down. book 4 is all about Darcy and Tory and learning to deal with the darkness the shadows bought into their life and then of course all the secrets and drama that is consistently happening in this story. AND OMG THAT ENDING????!!! wtf was that, hands down the worst cliff hanger I ever read worse as in I immediately wanted to jump into book 5! That is all for the spoiler free section please see more in the spoiler section where I can talk about that ending😭
My Thoughts ✦
My thoughts on this book was literally OMG OMG NO WAY WTF, I was shook everything that happened the emotions I went through the rage I felt at some characters. I was literally staring at the wall mouth open in shock for almost 20 minutes trying to wrap my head around what just happened.

My spoiler thoughts
First off Darcy and Orion 🥵 the way I am obsessed with them! that scene at his family home with the picnic oh my gosh beautiful! and also Seth count your days I can not stand him and holding Darcy secret over her head and making her do things and keeping it from her sister omg I was so sad and DON’T even get me started on Tory my poor girl was going through it this book with them shadows and Caleb and Darius and not even being able to talk to Darcy. She was in such a dark place I can’t wait to see her character develop. Learning all the information we did about their parents and their heritage I was lovinggggg. Ok now the moment I have been dying to talk about THAT ENDING oh my gosh where do I even start I guess let’s start with Darcy and Orion trying to save his sister I just knew it was a terrible idea(thank you Vampire Diaries) because of course a vampire that hasn’t eaten in that long was going to act that way and him dying and Darcy refusing to accept UGH my heart😭 and how it just ended like we don’t know if he is ok! Oh I am unwell😵💫 THEN you have Tory and Darius first off that throne scene I said Oh OH I see I get it now the Tory and Darius ship and the dining room scene at Christmas, TORY girl she was literally that meme reaction of the girl with the two guys 😭 but her denying him at their one chance at being elysian mates, oh my jaw was ON the floor her saying “you want my heart? I would sooner cut it out then give it to you.” and him yearning and beggingggg for her oh I couldn’t deal. I do understand where Tory is coming from where we have been in Darius head all books she hasn’t but them two just UGH now they are star crossed lovers and I don’t even know what to think😭
