Omg the cliffhanger!!!! The hottest book of the series
Dear lord! This series has me all twisted and addicted!!! Like, my family is LUCKY I didn’t disown them while I was reading 😅😂. It’s. THAT. GOOD!!❤️
The books starts off from where book 2 left off- the nymph attack during the game which resulted in the deaths of students. The aftermath is somber, but life needs to continue. Darcy and Tory have to go through the reckoning in order to stay at the Zodiac Academy, but so much is going on their personal lives that is testing them as well. The four heirs don’t want them to ascend and take over, and they are hoping the reckoning will stop them from getting more powerful. The relationship between Tory and Caleb continues, and of course, the relationship between Darcy and Lance. Even though Tory is Caleb’s source and LOVA (their scenes are so yummy), she and Darius have a connection as well 😉.
Finally, FINALLY, Darcy and Orion get. It. On 🔥🥵. They gravitate towards each other and can’t deny it any longer (🎼 my mind’s telling me noooo… but my body… my body is telling me yessssss🎼). Thank the astronomical gods that it finally happens ! All the tension… all the gasps and looks and accelerated heart rates finally sought fruition 💦😅 and it was ah maze ing 🥵🤤.
Then we see a different side to Darius here. We see a fun side as well (loved the race 😊). However, the expectation of what he needs to do continues. So he fights the attraction he feels for Tory. She fights it as well. But they can’t deny their attraction to each other. It’s gonna happen! They just need to kiss already dammit lol.
Gah! I wanna devour the series! But with book 7 not releasing for a few months and book 8 not til next year, I’m gonna hold back from going to book 4 so fast.
This book was delicious and SO STEAMY!! Thank the Lord for that 😅👏🏻. And we FINALLY find out what order the girls are 🥰👏🏻.
⚠️ safety squad⚠️
-one of the H’s kisses OW after he sees his h kiss OM (the OM kiss was totally not wanted🙄 and no tongue was involved, versus the OW kiss had tongue 🤬). Honestly, I was completely pissed and was ready to kill him off!!!! Even if he did it for vengeful purposes…. never get so crazy in your jealous rage to turn to OW 🤬
-there’s some blood going on for some things
-a villain shows his horrible side- whether related by blood or not

"“If you want me to stop, tell me to stop,” he said breathlessly and I wrapped my legs around his waist. “Okay, don't stop,” I exhaled and a heady laugh fell from my lungs as he drew me flush against him, feeding on my desire. “I want you to the point of pain, Blue.”"

@Phuong- thank you. I know you love this series. I’m so behind. I need to binge it now that book 7 is out and 8 is coming
Sonia, I’d read Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac series between this book and the fourth!! It’ll make some references make more sense 🥰
Just noticed you read it back in July 😅 also, i love the safety info, i was super pissed at that too 😂
Hey!! I keep seeing this series everywhere and I’m considering picking it up. Is it RH with no MM? Or no? Or MF? Haha. I’m confused.

At first, it seems like one of the twins will be with one of the heirs, but it quickly becomes apparent that he isn't the one for her. So we see her with two of the heirs, but it's obvious which one is her real H. There is a sharing ish scene in book 5 because of some magic and issues with connections 😬, but it's MF
The other twin is only physical with one H (I've only read through book 5, so hopefully this never changes. I still need to finish the series).
No RH.
Eventually, two of the heirs get into a relationship, so that means they're together (MM), but the main heroines are MF.
I hope I answered your questions😅
That is a really long series. My commitment issues will keep me from this one, but so glad you liked it. I feel like I'm experiencing it thru your review.
Yes!!! Thank you Sonia!!!! I feel like I read through so many reviews and didn’t get a clear answer so thank you
