By: Caroline Peckham 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

Zodiac Academy: Shadow Princessby Caroline Peckham and Susanne ValentiBook 4 in the Beasts and Bullies SeriesWith a secret binding them to Darius and Orion, they must find a way to all work together for the greater good. But some things are easier said than done... Zodiac Academy: Shadow Princess is the fourth book from Caroline Packham's and Susana Valenti's Beasts and Bullies
series, and centers around the Vega twins - Darcy and Tory - The Heirs - Darius, Seth, Max and Caleb - and their Cardinal Magic Professor (and Darius's sworn guardian) - Lance Orion. After the events from the last book, Darcy and Tory are now tied to Darius and Orion. Keeping the secrets of the darkness that is now in each of them is harder than they thought, and it forces them to work
together. Of course, working with your enemy for the greater good is easier said then done. Bonds are formed and ripped apart in this Zodiac Academy book. Guys. How did I end up in this tangled web. I went from reluctantly liking this series, to spending every free moment of my days reading this - admittedly way too long - books. This was one I was looking forward to, because the end
of the third book has SO much shit happening, that I just knew we were heading to plot thick waters. I also knew from some milk spoilers that this book epically pissed off a lot of Zodiac Academy fans, and I needed to know why. Before I get into THAT, I want to discuss my thoughts on story. It's still a fun and interesting premise. It's still a little too heavy on pointless writing, BUT does get
better. A decent chunk of time actually does go by, and we aren't having to read a play by play of each person's day. Thank god. We are getting to see these characters in different situations, and it's giving them a bit more depth. ----------spoiler ----------> Orion and Darcy's relationship in the hands of Seth added a layer of discomfort and ache for my favorite people in this series. While I didn't
believe Seth would tell anyone, we got less Darcy and Orion because of it, and that's a bummer. I will admit, that I think Orion could have put his anger aside long enough to talk to Darius earlier and save poor Darcy all the grief Seth was giving her. Tory and Darius's relationship was so hot and cold this book, it killed me. The part where they have sex ON HER FATHER'S THRONE was
insanely hot. And fuck, yes I root for them, but much like Tory, I also hate them together. I GET why fans are angry with Tory for her decision during her and Darius's divine moment, and yeah, I'm annoyed about it. But I also get it. We might be four books deep now, but it's only been four months since she met Darius. In that time, they may have been drawn to one another, and they may
have had the hottest sex either of them have ever had - but their relationship with one another has been nothing but Darius dragging Tory through the dirt, almost killing her, and feelings for each other that they hated themselves for. These two characters had too much pride to be put in that moment and make that decision. It kind of had an aura of "karma is a bitch". Do I hope this
changes both of them for the better. So much so. I also hope that this is a test, and they are the first to get a second divine moment. Because if not - fate is cruel as fuck.
