The Awakening

Run, don’t walk, to get your hands on this book! As a huge astrology nerd, I was intrigued by the title and the cover, which displayed all twelve zodiac signs. I was a huge fan of the way that Peckham uses clever foreshadowing in each character’s morning astrology readings. It is genius.

The story follows two female twins who end up finding out they are heirs to the throne in a highly corrupted, ‘fey eat fey world,’ where only the strong survive. But the throne isn’t handed over to them so easily. They are put to the test, both mentally… show more.

This dark academia fantasy will make you feel every single emotion possible.

Dragon shifters, pegasuses, sirens, and vampires are just a few of the fun shifters in this series. Twins, Tory and Darcy have to navigate a whole new world and way of life after they discover they’re princesses from a Fae realm. 

This isn’t a book to be taken seriously when they say things like “I laughed like a hyena on crack” and “Hands off my buttery bagels, you slippery salmon,” but that’s what makes it worth reading. Also the great characters, fun magic, and dangerous romances.

This book is the first in the Zodiac Academy series, which is a fantasy romance series. They follow two twin sisters who discover they are the long-lost princesses of the fae world. They are brought to the world to claim their place, and learn how to control their own magic. There are many romance stories that develop throughout the series, giving readers many couples to cheer on as it progresses. The world has werewolves, vampires, pegasuses, and more wonderful beings to learn about. 

If you’ve ever wanted to throw a book and yet hug it at the same time, this series will do it for you.

The world Peckham and Valenti created is to die for, and the characters will give you a love/hate battle of wills. Be prepared for dragons you want to capture and keep, vampires that you'd let bite you, and villains you'll hate worse than Delores Umbridge.
