Publisher Description
What do a heartless Dragon Shifter, a cold-blooded Basilisk, an arrogant Lion Shifter, and a brooding, tattooed Harpy have in common…?
Me.
Elise Callisto. Vampire. Angel of vengeance. And a girl on a mission to destroy one of them for murdering my brother. I just don’t know which one did it yet.
When I kicked the ass of a Werewolf who was high on a new and dangerous drug called Killblaze, his final words painted a dark reality for me. The King of Aurora Academy killed my brother. The trouble is, there’s four kings at that school, and each of them have motive and cutthroat natures.
Aurora Academy isn’t a place for the faint of heart. To put it lightly, my town is the asshole of Solaria where the dodgiest Fae in the kingdom reside. The school itself is divided by the two gangs who run this town, The Lunar Brotherhood and the Oscura Clan. And guess what? Two of the kings run the gangs at the school, their hatred for each other so fierce I hear a day doesn’t go by without blood being spilled in the halls.
I might be a petite, lilac-haired girl who looks like a fragile doll, but they haven’t been introduced to my fangs yet. And they don’t know why I’m really here. Or that I’ll do whatever it takes to bring down the Fae who took my flesh and blood from me.
I don’t believe in fate, but I do know this…the King who killed my brother is a dead man walking. And I’m prepared to sacrifice my heart, body and soul to ensure I get my revenge.
This is a reverse harem series set in the world of Zodiac Academy four years before the Vega Twins were awakened. Expect some character cross-over, dark and hot romance, and a twisted murder mystery which will leave your head spinning.

AH-mazing!!!
Such a great book!! It’s narrated really well and is easy to connect with the characters!
Although I’d question the Apple Books rating of it being ‘young-adult’. There is a lot of mature themes.
Love it love it love it
Just love it
Absolutely horrible.
I think it’s very hard for me to give a 1 star review because I always look for something in a book that is well done; however, this is definitely a one star. To start off, the plot is full of so many complicated and unnecessary things. So, not only are we dealing with supernatural beings like vampires, but they also have elemental powers, and to add to that they are all divided by gangs! Oh but not just any gangs… gangs within an academy😂. For the characters… I liked the main character decently. She wasn’t overpowered, and she was funny, but in no way relatable at all. I know, she’s a vampire stuck in between a gang war, but still. Absolutely no connection to her at all. Oh but then there’s the male characters. All fighting like cats to posses the FL. Yes I mean posses. If you wanted romance this isn’t it. Just a bunch of men claiming her and demanding she sleep with them. Ah but one of them is supposed to be her mate? How are you going to throw that in the mix with the other complicated things already added to the plot. But the whole point of the book is for her to find her brothers murderer? The author clearly has to many ideas and was trying to mush them into one book. A fantasy murder mystery was a good idea, but gangs, elemental powers, drugs, mates, and a reverse harem too? I just couldn’t enjoy the book. For me, it’s simply too much. Furthermore, the details and descriptions are horrible. The sentences always felt forced and short. Way too many “I” statement. I ran down the stairs, I looked at the stars, I, I, I… Again, for me, that is absolutely infuriating and ruined the book more than the plot. Lastly, something I will always point out in any book and always angers me is the constant repetition of certain words. Why do you need to use one word 8 times to keep describing something within the same chapter. This could just be a me thing, but I absolutely hate it. It’s not hard to look up synonyms.
