 one thing about this duo they're gonna write a mary sue! they manage to make it addictive to read though somehow bc i was on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time. i was worried i'd find this boring because i'm starting it in the middle of zodiac academy (on a huge cliffhanger) but i got sucked into this story way faster than i expected. i will say it's very OTT and it's a reverse harem so probably not for everyone but i found this so fun. it's in the same world as zodiac academy (just set at a different academy) and it's kind of a murder murder mystery with turf wars and some insane secret society/cult it had my blood pressure spiking constantly.

the writing itself isn't amazing but it's consistent with their other works i've read so far and it might be growing on me or something because it bugged me way less this time around. there isn't a lot of spelling/grammar mistakes (that i've noticed) it's more just the writing style and prose. i think the ridiculousness of the plot in general helps carry the writing since i never got a chance to notice pacing or similar issues with the writing because i was just so excited to see what would happen next. if you want a fun read (and can put up with the whole mary sue/alpha girl thing) though? it definitely delivers.

I’m slowly making my way through the Zodiac World and I just finished Dark Fae today.

I love how the twisted sisters really know how to set a world that is easy to follow and easy to love. I love all the characters, I love the mysterious plot and also it leaves you wanting more of this world. 

I love Elsie as a badass female lead character who stands her ground. Also I love how the four boys Ryder, Dante, Gabriel and Leon have completely different personalities. It’s also great how we get a bit of everyone’s perspective.
