Zodiac Academy: The Awakening is exactly the kind of magical chaos I live for. There’s only one spicy scene, but the tension and hatred between the main characters is top notch. Fae, shifters, and Hogwarts vibes make the setting totally immersive, and the bully romance adds just the right amount of push-and-pull. The astrology aspect is a fun twist, giving the characters extra personality and depth. I loved watching the enemies navigate school life, magic, and feelings they absolutely shouldn’t have. Perfect for fans of magical enemies-to-lovers stories who want action, heart, and building spice.
