The Reckoning was such a great continuation of the Zodiac Academy series. This book follows twins Darcy and Tory as they continue their journey at the academy, training harder than ever and preparing for the Reckoning—an intense set of trials meant to prove whether they truly belong and are worthy of their place in the fae world.

We begin this book with our favorite vampire teacher. A recount of the attack on Zodaic Academy. Sinister things still lurk in the shadows, and there is still a power play going on between the Heirs and the Vega Twins. Orion is, of course, stuck in the middle of it all. This is hell wee,k and wel,l now all the upperclassmen are after the freshmen in different ways. It seems every interaction is a battle. Darcy and Tory both seem to be confused about romance and what order they are, but the...

Zodiac Academy: The Reckoning was wild, intense, and absolutely addicting. So much happened in this book and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! The twins’ Fae order reveal? PHOENIXES. That entire moment was epic and completely satisfying. The Reckoning trials added even more tension and adrenaline, and watching the twins fight their way through them (and the Heirs 👀) made me love them even more. This book really turned up the heat on relationship dynamics, too. 💘 Caleb and Tory? I’m...
