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.
This is a full-length medium burn novel
that is the first in a university-age academy series. Expect forbidden love and
bully romance with mature content suitable for upper YA readers and onwards.
My Review: Um no? I really don't understand how this book has gotten all these insane raves and reviews. To me it was just so slow and boring. Oh and the characters could use a lot more work.
The twins are pretty plain and really attached but given that they only have each other its not too bad, but a little too close for my taste. Then suddenly a random guy shows up and tells them they belong to another world, they need to go with him and he is a professor. They don't want to but whatever he says, they just do it, que the vampire vibes coming off him.
When they magically appear in this new world, they are surprised that not only are they going to get the power of an element but they got more than they bargained for.
Oh and who do these boys think they are just grabbing these girls and being jerks to them jus because they are a higher year? Like um no.
Anyway, I did not care for this story at all and I really wanted to. I might give the second book a shot to see if it impresses me but in the meantime I need time away from this series.
