4.0 AVERAGE


I'm following a booktuber recommendation on the zodiac books order!
Didn't love this one but I think the Ruthless Boys series has potential

This book kicks off the Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac series, and it is a wild ride from the start. Dark Fae pulls you into a gritty, intense world where danger, romance, and power struggles are around every corner. It’s definitely a darker take on the fae genre, with an addictive, fast-paced storyline that makes it hard to put down. If you’re looking for a series with morally gray characters, intense romance, and plenty of plot twists, this is a great one to dive into. Just be ready for a cliffhanger that will have you reaching for the next book immediately!

This is a prequel/spin off from Zodiac Academy and although I have read Zodiac Academy I decided to give this a go and I love it so far. There’s really only one guy out of the 4 I know of that’s in zodiac academy so that’s the only spoiler if you have read ZA.
But had a good time and just wondering where I sign up to be Elise in another life and have 4 hotties pining over her??????

So glad to be back in the world of zodiac academy and so excited for the rrst of this series. It's a bit strange seeing characters like Gabriel in a different light but I'm definitely here for it!

This book gives all the feels and then some.   I love Elise's character, she is such a bad b**ch.  I loved all the back and forth with the Kings.  That ending was brutal and I am so glad all the books are out already.   I loved that there were interconnected characters from the Caged Wolf series.
