I KNEW IT WAS TITAN!!!!!! I feel so validated thinking he was being overly nice this entire time. Glad Cindy Lou got what was coming to her. I figured out Ryder got a new identity after piecing together stuff from the ZA series. Glad it skipped forward to see some stuff about RJ and Luca. Her relationship with the guy’s families and Marlowe was really nice to read. Enjoyed the wrap up of the book, but felt like this book had almost too many sex scenes and I felt it lacked a lot of story in relation. Still good but not as good as the 4th book imo.

This was a great conclusion to the series! However, I was surprised by how unlikeable Elise is in a couple of places in the book. There were times when she was incredibly selfish. Additionally, I think there was too much smut in this book. Overall, though, it was really great. I was surprised by

how well her relationship went with her biological dad. I was so happy for her to get to experience that type of love in this book.

Overall, it was a great ending, and I can't wait to continue the Solaria universe!

Chapter 19 was such a funny chapter. It had me almost laughing out loud at work. I had to stop myself from laughing so hard. Be warned! Also, I rarely ever laugh when I read books; I might find something funny, but it's rare for me to laugh out loud. Chapter 19 is something else!

I'm doing @thtgrlreads (Jaimee)'s reading order on TikTok for the Solaria universe: ZA 1-3, RB 1-5, and then back to ZA.

This book dragged a little for me. The smut was great and Leon is such a joy but by the end I didn’t care about Gareth or King lol I just wanted the harem to be super cutesy and funny. Also the last two chapters really pissed me off.

The boys were being absolutely unreasonable with RJ and I’m surprised Elise let them. The whole series has been about Elise making her own decisions and knowing what she wants and autonomy and now RJ is being held back by her dads? Also I definitely didn’t see this energy with Luca so you know wtf.

i refuse to believe this was only 680 pages it was definitely way longer than the last one. there was so much going on though so even though there was a lot of slice of life scenes it never really dragged, at least not for me. there was a lot of blood pressure raising moments but ultimately i came out of it really happy. even with the ridiculously huge epilogue (i kinda expected that after brutal boys of everlake prep because that epilogue was literally 50+ pages long) because it's really not my thing. i appreciated getting the closure after all the stress and torture the main characters got put through and the book was already crazy long so the epilogue being super long didn't really make a difference.

there was even more character development (for the guys at least) and they seemed to really solidify their relationships here. elise had no character development really but i'm a sucker for found family so just based off the guys' relationships with each other this was like crack to me regardless. i do think she had potential as a character based off the beginning of the first book but i just don't see that in the rest of the books and it's a little disappointing. even though this book was super long i was never bored (maybe a little at the epilogue but that was just super long) because the action was at its peak in this book so it was endless entertainment for me. i'm looking forward to reading the rest of zodiac academy now without having to sweat over possible spoilers.

This book was so mind blowing, emotional rollercoaster with some twist and turns I never seen coming. I hope that ending is really a beginning of a spin off series. I know we have two other series that ties in but if I am not mistaken they do not included the characters at the end that I would like to see a spin off for. The spice was there for sure a good 5/5 on the spice scale. Also had some moments that made me wanna cry and moments that also made me laugh out loud and look like I was crazy. Ryder will always be my favorite guy I think. I'm pumped for ZA next.

This last book in The Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac Series really did wrap up the whole story nicely. Not only did we get the answers Elise and the boys had been searching for from book 1, the authors gave us a few glimpses of their life to come.

I don't think I've loved a series like this in a really, really long time.

Elise Callisto is ready to face her final challenges - discovering the identity of her brother's murderer, finding her peace with the men she loves, and carving her own destiny, stars be damned.

I feel like this book is so freaking big that I'm going to have a hard time summarizing my thoughts of the entire thing, because it's really a culmination of five other books I loved, all with messy and dark and wonderful character development that all bring you to this one. I really adored this, I think this series swept me away in a way that no other has in a very long time and it's carved itself a little place in my heart, like a tiny little Rydikins nestled there. Even though I found myself right about a lot of the things that happened in this book, it was impossible to be annoyed because I was so GLAD that I was right about so many of them.

There was still so much that threw me for a loop, and I have to say a lot of the reveals and moments had my jaw on the floor. This is my first "finale" from the Twisted Sisters and it didn't hold any punches. I feel like I've just had the absolute crap kicked out of me on the Pitball field and then healed and patted on the ass and told to go back out there and win, champ. (in this metaphor, the ass patting is because I have five more ZA novels to read and all of Darkmore so there's probably going to be ample... ass... patting. I'm sorry, I read this all night, will this make it into the final review? Maybe.) ANYWAYS: barring my severe exhaustion at the moment, I can say I audibly gasped, laughed, cried, screamed, shrieked, and probably made a variety of other startling noises while I read this and isn't that the mark of a good book? The feeling of being so caught up and swept away with the people in the pages that you can't distinguish your own emotions from theirs?

I'm so happy with the way things ended. It was like being told, "hey, look, it's worth it." and realizing that it was. It really, really was. For every moment I cried or screamed or berated the authors in my highlights and annotations, I had to lean back and realize that in the span of only a few days I've devoured and come to love the way that they write and the way that the story is crafted. Sure, there are absolutely ridiculous moments, but I'm not reading this for some English 101 class or to write a thesis, I'm reading it to feel that warmth in my chest from finishing a good book, a good series, and realizing it'll forever be branded on me.

So yes, if you've read this far - followed my reviews - this series is worth it. In fact, I'm going to say this now and here because I can, but I think I read these books in the exact order I should have. There were so many payoff moments, big and small, that I could enjoy from reading part of Zodiac first and then diving into these with my hand over my eyes ready to go for the best, wildest ride of my life.

And no, I can't rank the guys. Don't ask. But I do have a soft spot for a certain sweet, big-hearted, blond lion with a luxurious mane.
