The main characters seemingly have a rags to riches situation. However that is rather quickly turned on its head as they realize they have very few, if any, allies in this new world… They will have to rely on each other and the wits they developed on the streets on the mortal realm to survive at Zodiac Academy.

I didn’t love it. I get why others would, but it wasn’t for me personally. I’m just not a bully romance reader. The lore seems really interesting and the multiple romance partners the could choose is an interesting twist (if it isn’t Tory/Darius and Darcy/Orion in the end though I would be shocked). 

Bully Romance, Magical School, 2 🔥

The twisted sisters are some of my favorite authors with the world of solaria being my favorite. With that being .said book 1 is the hardest to get through. It is a bully romance and the bullying in book one is a lot. I love it though and its well worth it
