Fated Throne is book 6 in the Zodiac Academy series and picks up about 6 weeks from where book 5 ended.

Tory is Guardian Bonded to Lionel (Daddy) Asscrux and is consumed by the shadows.  

Darcy and the Heirs are doing everything they can to find a way to save her.

It’s amazing how far Tory and Darcy have come since book 1.  Their strength is amazing.  It seems no matter what anyone throws at them, they become stronger and are determined to take down their enemies.  They are definitely on the way to becoming the true queen’s they are meant to be.

Bully Romance books are a new genre to me, but I have fell in love with these books.  The character development has been amazing.  I went from hating the Heirs to loving them over the course of this series.

Relationships 

Orion & Darcy – We know in book 5 Orion sacrificed himself to protect Darcy when everyone found out about their relationship, even though it meant he broke his promise to her and broke her heart.  He is now out of Darkmore Penitentiary and has some serious making up to do to get Darcy back and get her to trust him again.

Darius & Tory – They are still star-crossed and things are even harder now that she is Guardian Bonded to Lionel and wants to be near him, even though she knows she hates him and wants him dead.  They have both realised how much they love each other and they will try anything to defy the stars. 

Caleb & Seth – So many close encounters with these two.  They just need to get it on already.

Max & Geraldine – I love these two.  They do want to be together, however Geraldine is set on going ahead with her arranged marriage.  I don’t know how Geraldine comes up with some of the things that come out of her mouth, but she is hilarious.  The way Max has to try and keep covering her up when she keeps getting naked.

Two characters who seriously need to die – Lionel and his Shadow Princess Clara/Lavinia (I knew there was more to Clara).

This book ends on another cliffhanger (obviously) and I can’t wait to jump into book 7 but at the same time wary as I know I have to wait until December for book 8.

At least I have the different spinoff series to fall back on.

If you haven’t yet read this series, then pick it up. You don’t know what you are missing.

Well, what the hell was that???? I mean, there's so much to unpack here!

First of all, Darcy, I love that girl. She's been throught the worst possible time of her life and she managed to not cave. Good girl. I really enjoyed

Spoiler

that she didn't forgive Orion right away. It also gave us some of the best scenes with Seth.

She just came out as a true fighter as we all knew she was! And then

Spoiler

what the fuck is this curse Lavinia put on her???

Seth fucking grew on me. That little doggo was my number one enemy, now I love the dude.

Spoiler

All the shit he did to Orion once he got out of jail was, first of all deserved, and I so thoroughly enjoyed seeing Orion so angry.

I really do hope Seth and Darcy are Nebula Allies.

Orion, my love I'm so happy

Spoiler

you are out of jail,

but please stop being such an idiot. I fear what

Spoiler

the prophesy has in store for him, when it said the hunter will sacrifice. Was it talking about Darkmore or is there more to come?

I really fear like the latter is true, but a girl can dream.

Darius, oh Darius. I really don't like the bargain you have struck at the end. I get it, but I don't need to like it. I still freaking hate you are still claiming the throne when

Spoiler

basically everybody else looks like they're ruling for the twins.

I hope that after this bargain you've struck you're coming to realise that you need to change your mind about it.

I need Max and Gerry to be Elysian Mates and for Caleb to pull his head out of his ass and tell

Spoiler

Seth he has feelings for him too!

The beginning dragged on a bit too much for me, but the last 250 pages??

Absolutely DEMOLISHED my heart and soul and I will be taking a slight break to recover
