The shadows are in my blood.
I can feel them crawling through me, slithering under my skin and taking me hostage.
But the darkness within me, isn’t nearly as bad as the darkness that lives around me.
The four heirs will stop at nothing to destroy the lives of me and my sister.
But they haven’t figured out yet, we’re the strongest creatures they’ve ever known…
Zodiac Academy: Shadow Princess is the fourth book in Caroline Packham and Susana Valenti’s Beasts and Bullies series, and it takes you on a wild ride with the Vega twins – Darcy and Tory – alongside The Heirs – Darius, Seth, Max, and Caleb – and their awesome Cardinal Magic Professor (who’s also Darius’s loyal guardian) – Lance Orion. Picking up from the gripping events of the last book, Darcy and Tory now have some totally new connections with Darius and Orion. While the dark secrets they’re hiding make things tricky, they end up bringing everyone closer, even with their old rivals. As they go through this adventure, they create strong bonds and deepen friendships, weaving a colorful web of relationships in this magical Zodiac Academy tale.
SPOILERS TILL THE END BEWARE
Scenes that I loved the most:
1, The throne room scene, had my brain chemistry altered because it was so hot like the way it was written was actually so good that I devoured it.
2, The spring pool scene because it was so sudden and the way it took place had me screaming.
3, The pool room scene post halloween where Tory and Darius were talking at the edge of the diving ledge and I just found that moment so pure and care free for them ;(
4, Every single moment that BlueLance had because they can do no wrong I am telling you they had me screaming at pitch black darkness. (I have never felt more single)
5, The snowball fight scene was so fun to read, I actually loved it, it reminded me a lot of the one from ACOFAS (A Court of Frost and Starlight) but this one had more fun and more page-time.
6, The guardian bond between Darius and Lance and the casual flirting that went on between them was so funny.
7, The part where Lance kisses Tory accidentally had me howling because that scene was actually so funny, my jaw was hanging but I was also laughing because omgggg 😭😭😭
8. Orion forcing Tory into cheerleading. it was so funny XDDDD
Now to the part that I am most dreading:
WHAT WAS THIS? SUSAN? CAROLINE? WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO YOU? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? WHY ARE YOU TREATING ME LIKE THIS? LIKE IS ASKING FOR TORYDARIUS THAT HARD? AND DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO DESTROY DARIUS’S HEART LIKE THAT? MY MAN WAS ON HIS KNEES ON THE VERGE OF TEARS BEGGING TORY AND WHAT THE HECK DID SHE DO? SHE LEFT HIM. I WAS SO MAD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD I HAD TO RESIST THROWING MY COMPUTER AGAINST THE WALL SO I JUMPED UP AND DOWN AND SCREAMINED INTO MY PILLOW BECAUSE THERE WAS JUST NO WAY THAT HAPPENED. ALSO I am not that worried about Lance because he must be alright RIGHT?? HE BETTER BE!
ALSO LIKE WHY?!?! NOW IS TORYDARIUS EVEN HAPPENING?? BECAUSE IF IT ISNT AND IF SHES GONNA GO TO CALEB AD ACT LIKE DARIUS DIDNT UNRAVEL HIMSELF BEFORE HER I WILL LITERALLY MURDER HER BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY I HAVE BEEN ROOTING FOR THEM SINCE THE FIRST ENCOUNTER OMG. YOU TWINS BETTER FIX THIS ISTG.
ALSO JUST MAKE GERALDINE AND MAX HAPPEN LIKE DONT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME and alsooo are Caleb and Seth going to be a thing (I think im excited for it?)
