The stars have cursed us all.

After the devastating events at Zodiac Academy, we have to deal with this hollow reality we're faced with.

Lionel seeks to destroy us, the Nymphs seek to destroy the entire Fae race, and between all of it, we have to try and survive each day and prove our worth in this forsaken place.

I'm afraid of everything falling apart, but it looks like it already has. Death lurks around every corner, and it wants to claim me and my sister. But together, we will overcome the darkness that seeks to defeat us.

Because we were forged in fire. And these flames will never die.

There was so much heartache and angst in this one. I couldn't put it down, but I had to at times. I was very unhappy with most of the events, but it was like being unable to look away. That being said, I did enjoy it. I just wish so many bad things didn't happen in this series. I also wish it was better edited.

An Emotional Rollercoaster That Leaves You Breathless

If you're looking for a book that will rip your heart out, stomp on it, and then somehow piece it back together again just to repeat the process, then "Zodiac Academy: Cursed Fates" is the perfect read for you. This book is a whirlwind of heartbreak, passion, and redemption that will leave you breathless.

The authors have crafted a masterpiece of written beauty, weaving a tale of star-crossed lovers that will leave you reaching for the tissues. The pain of their struggles is palpable, yet their love shines through, making every moment worth the agony.

From the very first chapter, I found myself immersed in a story that gripped my heart and refused to let go. With every turn of the page, I was pulled deeper into a world where love is both a blessing and a curse, where pain and passion intertwine in a symphony of raw emotion.

The character development in this installment is nothing short of extraordinary. Each member of the ensemble cast undergoes profound growth, grappling with their demons and emerging stronger for it. Particularly Darcy, who emerges as a confident and powerful force to be reckoned with, while the evolution of relationships like Tory and Darius's is both heartrending and heartwarming.

While the pain and drama may be intense, it's balanced by moments of genuine connection and love. The relationships between the characters are complex and nuanced, making each interaction feel authentic and compelling.

Speaking of relationships, the dynamics between the central quartet of Darcy, Orion, Tory, and Darius are nothing short of spellbinding. Their star-crossed romances are fraught with pain and longing, yet infused with a tenderness that speaks to the enduring power of love. And let's not forget the unexpected twists and turns in other relationships, like the burgeoning bond between Seth and Caleb, which adds layers of complexity to an already rich tapestry.

But it's not just the romance that makes this book shine. The intricate plot, filled with twists and turns, will keep you guessing until the very end. And the addition of new characters like Gabriel and Xavier only adds to the intrigue.

And it's not just the characters that shine in this book—the world-building is equally compelling. From the intricacies of Zodiac Academy to the looming threat of the Shadow Bitch and her malevolent schemes, every detail is crafted with care and precision.

Despite the anguish and heartbreak, there's a sense of hope that permeates the story. The bonds forged between the characters, the strength they find in each other, and the determination to overcome their struggles—all make for a truly memorable read.

Also let's not forget about the villains. The Shadow Bitch and her despicable 'Daddy' provide the perfect foil to our beloved characters, adding an extra layer of tension and suspense to the already gripping plot.

While the ending may leave you reeling, it's a testament to the skill of the authors that they can elicit such a strong emotional response from their readers. "Zodiac Academy: Cursed Fates" is a masterfully crafted tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption that will stay with you long after you turn the final page. Don't miss out on this unforgettable journey.

In short, "Zodiac Academy: Cursed Fates" is a must-read for anyone who loves a good romance with a healthy dose of drama. Just be prepared to laugh, cry, and possibly throw your book across the room in frustration. But trust me, it's all worth it in the end.

This book series has a way of making you ask so many questions at the end of the book. Then you read the next one and you’re like “alright, can’t wait to have some answers!” But nope. It rips your heart out instead and gives you even more questions in return. This book series is pure torture (but like, in a good way) and I’m anxious to figure out what’s going to happen. Reading Zodiac Academy has truly taken over my life and I’m not sure when I’m going to have it back. A must read.

I have never read a series that has consumed me the way this series has. I have never read a series that has made me smile, laugh, want to cry, and so so damn mad the way this series has. Parts of this book made me wish this series would never end and parts made me not want to continue the series at all. Obviously, I have book 6 in my hands now ready to read. This series owns me.

Tory is one stubborn fae. Rejecting the will of the stars she’s set herself and Darius up for a world of pain. Darcy’s life isn’t any easier. Much of this is so full of pain it can be difficult to keep reading it. And it’s difficult to see things getting better.

"Forever is a hell of a long time to give to someone you don't trust. In my heart I know i deserved the answer you gave me. I wasn't worthy of your love then and I'm still not worthy of it now. But if you gave me forever then I'd spend every second of it trying to be".

Ed eccoci al 5 volume. Un libro difficile, pieno di sofferenza e che ti porta ad avere la lacrima facile.

Mi aspettavo che sarebbe stato un libro tosto, data la fine del 4 e la scelta di Tory non poteva essere altrimenti, ma non così tanto. Il cliffhanger finale non me l'aspettavo per niente, tanto che non ho potuto aspettare e ho dovuto iniziare subito il 6.

Una cosa però è certa. La capacità di queste autrici di far crescere i personaggi è incredibile. E vorrei partire proprio dal villain.

Lionel Acrux ad oggi credo che sia il personaggio cattivo meglio scritto di cui abbia mai letto. La sua cattiveria aumenta libro dopo libro, i suoi intrighi, che alcune volte possono suonare strani, acquistano un senso perfetto mentre si prosegue con la lettura. Non vacilla mai, è sempre un passo avanti a tutti, non presenta cedimenti emotivi o sensi di colpa, lui vuole una cosa, sa come ottenerla e va dritto per la sua strada . Maltrattamenti fisici e psicologici, manipolazione mentale, magia nera, tutto ciò che di cattivo si possa immaginare lui lo fa. Sei portato ad odiare questo personaggio dal primo momento in cui lo conosci e l'odio nei suoi confronti aumenta pagina dopo pagina. È veramente un cattivo degno di essere definito tale e spero faccia una fine lenta e dolorosa.

Darius è il personaggio che più ho amato in questo libro. La sua sofferenza si percepisce in ogni riga. Mi ha aperto il cuore in due. La sua rassegnazione in alcuni momenti ti spezza.
"But what other choice did i have? I'd offered her the world but I'd waited too long to do it. So now i jus had to face the consequences of that and live with the fact that this was all my fault. And there wasn't a thing i could do to change it."
Ma poi non si da per vinto e cerca di gioire anche delle più piccole conquiste, come una semplice corsa o una tazza di caffè. Darius, che si rende conto di tutti i suoi errori capitolo dopo capitolo e ti spezza.
"But as i looked around this cold, dirty room with no food in the cupboards and a couch for a bed, i realised exactly what I'd done that night. "We're not telling anyone else about this".
Questa scena mi ha veramente uccisa. E parlo di una scena in cui gli heirs vanno nel vecchio appartamento delle Vega. Io defunta proprio.

Ottimo lavoro da parte delle autrici anche con gli altri 3. Tutti cercheranno di aiutare Darius ma personalmente non ho amato la scena con Caleb. L'ho trovata sbagliata, non mi è piaciuta proprio. Doveva essere una cosa per loro non con loro.

Seth è quello dei 3 che ha avuto il cambiamento più radicale. Continuo a non perdonarlo ma devo riconoscere che prova a farsi voler bene da questo libro in poi.

Geraldine regina indiscussa della risata. Si conferma un personaggio forte e positivo. Leale fino alla fine. Grazie Gerry, abbiamo bisogno di personaggi come te.

Lance forse è il personaggio che mi ha delusa di più in questo libro. Capisco il perché di una scelta ma ciò non toglie che l'abbia odiata
"I don't care that you're here. You could be on the moon and I'd still find a way to love you ".

Tory, Tory, Tory....testarda, difficile, impulsiva che poi ovviamente si pente delle scelte avventate. Mi dispiace ma io continuo a preferire Darcy.

Come dicevo prima cliffhanger inaspettato che ti invoglia subito a proseguire.
"I finally invited the darkness in".

Io amo questa serie e trovo che questo 5 volume al momento sia il migliore. L'ho veramente adorato. La scrittura delle autrici è sempre sublime. Se pensiamo al fatto che sia passato solo un anno come arco narrativo e che il lettore non si annoi per 5 libri, è facile intuire la capacità incredibile di queste due autrici.
