I'm so obsessed with Sean Bell, I have no words. He's got me crying several times throughout the book. Sobbing. I’m flabbergasted. He came out of nowhere and blew me away.
Sean Bell is the reason why fictional men will always be superior.
He’s just everything.
Be aware there's a storyline about his mother and cancer, which ripped my heart apart.
And even though I’m not a religious person, his reunion with God moved me to tears and I can’t even explain why.
Sierra Simone mind fucked me real good with this one.

That ending nearly gave me a heart attack. I’m so upset about Darius and Darcy. The uncertainty of what’s going to happen to them is eating me alive
I loved all the revelations, visions, prophecies. It broke my heart to discover Lionel had been Wormtonguing their father. God I hate him so, so much. It’s frustrating because no matter what the main characters do, he seems to always be two steps ahead. They’ve made him too untouchable. I’m going to need his downfall to match up with that later on, or it’ll be a big letdown. I need Lionel to suffer and hurt a fuck ton before he dies.
That battle at the end was so epic, and I can’t believe how much it’s going to change all the established dynamics in the series. No more Zodiac Academy for starters. I can’t wait to read the next one and find out where they are hiding and how this escalates into a civil war, because that’s surely where this is heading. The stakes keep getting higher and higher, and my poor babies still have 3 books left before finding their HEA
[image]
Oh Darius… I want to hug and throttle him at the same time. Of course he sacrificed his own friking life for Tory. Is there anything this man wouldn’t do for her? Of course not. And that’s why he’s the ultimate fictional boyfriend.
Something that pissed me off was Darius and the Heirs still pretending like they were going to be the ones replacing Lionel, and not the Vega Twins. It just makes no sense for Darius to think he deserves the throne more than them, and a few scenes later he’s sacrificing his own life for Tory. Dude just needs to realize the Stars are pointing at the twins to be Queens. He has to undo what his evil father did, that is his legacy to be, not to be King. DUH.
[image]
Lance Orion, the new Master of the Zodiac Guild, who pledged loyalty to his queens… I’m fucking swooning just by writing that line. God, what a man! I’m so ridiculously into Lance, it’s insane. He just hits all the spots for me. His OTT jealousy over Darcy literally changed my brain’s chemistry. I could live based on sorely Lance being jealous. The fact that the first thing he did with his new freedom was to go find Seth and Darcy, is going to live rent free in my mind for a long time.
When he said he already knew Darcy was going to be Queen when they were in his car in the second book and he placed that cheap crown on her head, I almost combusted.
The angst with Lance and Darcy made me feel all the amazing feels. They went through so much together in this book. The stars keep pairing them up together, and I think they managed to pass all their tests. I can’t wait for their Divine moment, I’m literally salivating for it. When they thought they were going to die and confessed their feelings, I was such a mess!!!! I love them with all my heart, your honor.
[image]
I love Darcy so much. That’s it, that could summarize this whole thing. She’s got something that draws me in like crazy. And I can totally see her being an amazing Queen. In this book, I could see she was born for it. And the character development has been so good so far, I’m in awe.
Knowing Darcy had made Phoenix fire infused weapons for each of the Heirs and how each of them worked so well with their Order made me so emotional. Watching them work and fight together was amazing. The pay off from enemies to friends has been so good.
“We’re the Heirs and the Savage Princess. Darcy and the dudebros. Wolfman, Bitey C, Fish Fury, Dragzilla, and the Phoen Dream.”
The friendship between the girls and the Heirs hit so good in the hurt/comfort feels. Seth helping Darcy, while Max helped Tory. And Caleb being so sweet and attentive to both.. ughhhh yes, I could read a million scenes of just the 6 of them (plus Geraldine) being cute and funny and sweet together. That scene of Darcy playing with Seth, Caleb and Max and ending up in a puppy pile was so friking cute, and of course Orion’s jealousy only made it ten times better.
[image]
Tory’s angst and what she went through in the hands of Lionel was A LOT. Her scenes with Max helping her got me all choked up. When she was afraid of Darius because of the fake memories, I thought I was going to die. The angst was so good! When they almost captured her and she had to call Lionel and hurt herself, I was so distraught I had to stop reading. And knowing they were using Dante’s lightning to hurt her without him knowing was messing up with my head so bad.
I’ve waited for Darius and Tory to shield against the wrath of the Stars and just fuck each other senseless since they became Star Crossed, and when it finally happened, it surely didn’t disappoint. Good god, that was so intense and hot. But it was even better when Tory finally opened up and admitted she’s his and he’s hers. Blessed be the character development istg.
[image]
Tory and Darius having the same tattoo with those lines… be still my heart. I was squealing like crazy when she revealed it to Darius. They are so OTP!!!
And now they are no longer Star Crossed and have a second chance to make things right… but it’s all so bittersweet because of Darius’ sacrifice. I don’t even know how I’m feeling. I’m feeling all the feelings. Everything hurts so good.
[image]
Seth taunting Lance was one of my favorite parts. I guess he’s still a total asshole but he’s our asshole now so it’s okay. He was just too good at pissing Lance off. But how adorable was it when he said he was Lance’s future best friend? And how he was doing all that to help them get back together. Seth is an idiot but there’s something irresistible about him.
Also, Darius figuring out Seth is messing with Lance about Darcy and supporting his methods won’t ever stop being hilarious.
I don’t know how I feel about Darius and Lance not being bonded together anymore. I love that for them but at the same time, I’m going to miss their queer baiting scenes ngl lmao No, but seriously, now that they aren’t bonded, and Lance has pledged loyalty to Darcy, how is that going to affect his friendship with Darius? I’m so upset just thinking about them fighting over this again.
[image]
Gabriel was amazing in this one. And the mention of Dante and Leon made me so excited!! I need to reread that series. Gabby had some of the most hilarious scenes, anticipating what everyone was going to say or do. And his fake wedding with Darius made me crack the fuck up so loudly at 1am, I woke up my H ...more
“A girl with blue hair,” I breathed as the echoes of memories stirred within my heart. “And a man with a dark soul.”
I'm literally (Spoilers ahead)
“A girl with blue hair,” I breathed as the echoes of memories stirred within my heart. “And a man with a dark soul.”
I'm literally speechless. What the fuck was that ending? I’m so scared to see what happens next. The Twisted Sisters are being particularly sadistic in this series. I’m lucky I’m such a slut for punishment because this book made me suffer like nothing else.
[image]
Darius is the reason why fictional men are better than real men. He was everything in this book. The moment the asshole starts to care in a story, I’m done for. And he cared so much about Tory in this one. All the little details, and the big ones too, that he did for her in this book melted my heart into a puddle. His character development in this book is just perfect. I’m so utterly obsessed with him and I need him to be happy to ever find peace again. He’s currently my favorite character (sorry Orion bb)
My poor baby girl Darcy went through it in this book, again. Maybe it’s because she’s my favorite twin, but I got the feeling things were particularly bad for her in this one. The twins’ voice actress puts so much emotion into Darcy’s chapters, it always chokes me up. But oh my god, the angst. The angst, it was so good. I have no words. I’ve been marinating in the despair Darcy made me feel for days. I’m a glutton for punishment when I know the reward at the end will be even sweeter because of it.
While Tory and Darius failed the tests by the stars, I feel like Darcy and Orion have been passing them, test after gruesome test. Until Orion sacrificed himself for her reputation. I understand why he did it, but he broke his promise to Darcy to always fight for their relationship, and the stars weren’t happy about it. So I guess he fucked up? I’m so curious to see when and how their Divine moment will happen. Is it bad that I hope they make us sweat for it??? lol
[image]
Darius and Darcy bonding over Orion was my everything. I admit I’ve been having fantasies about a sandwich of these two with Orion as the delicious meat in the middle. I’m tempted to check AO3, that’s all I’ll say. But I need to read Darcy and Darius supporting each other in the next book. Their mates/guardian are gone and they are going to need each other. I can’t wait to see that friendship blossom. I even want Seth to cuddle her and do his wolfish thing to take care of her… I know, right? Shocker.
Because seriously. Seth Cappela. What kind of sorcery did these authors do with this character??
I hated him so much and then in this book it’s like I suffered from brain damage or something. Because now I kinda love him?? My view on the character has changed completely. I still think he was truly awful in previous books but his character development has been immaculate and I have to admit it’s the third time in 3 different series of these authors, where I go from hating one particupar character to loving them like mad.
Something I’m really excited about: Caleb and Seth??????????
“Stop flirting with me, asshole.” “Stop smiling so much when I do then.”
Is it really happening???? I’m so happy they are giving us a real mm couple ...more

My crops are dying, my skin has never be(Spoilers ahead)
I feel like dying right now.
That ending is the opposite of the “my crops are thriving” meme.
My crops are dying, my skin has never been worse, my depression is bad, my long lost brother whom I thought had died when he floated down the river back in 2005 was indeed found dead and it's all thanks to this fucking book.
[image]
The way I’d die and kill for Darius Acrux and Lacen Orion is borderline obscene.
“Because you’re in my head all the time. You pulse through my blood with each beat of my heart. I live for every scrap of attention you offer me and suffer through every moment you spend ignoring me.”
Darius broke my heart in this one. He’s such an idiot but he’s my idiot. I loved to read him aching for Tory the way he did. All his love declarations to her left me breathless.
Darius coming up with the perfect date for Tory. Darius thinking he has nothing to offer Tory. Darius thinking of Tory as his equal. Darius begging her to be his…
[image]
Also can we discuss how hot it is that Darius donates all that money to charities related to what’s happening in his home (women’s shelters) under a fake name … My man is grumpy on the outside but a fluffy cinnamon roll on the inside.
Darius and Tory finally giving in and sleeping together was such a relief. Their sexual tension was literally drowning me. And then when they fucked like savages?????? I was so feral for them. When he ripped her underwear off??? Fucking RIP me.
That throne scene will live rent free in my mind for all eternity.
>“If fate is so cruel as to only offer me true love with a man who could hurt me as much as you have, then I’ll go without love.”
I think our society is not ready for a female character like Tory, who loves herself and puts herself above love. I totally understood where she was coming from. Sure, she broke my heart and I know she made a mistake, but she was right, too.
This duology in their relationship is so fascinating and part of the reason why Tory and Darius are so addictive. I support all of their wrongs because it gives us the most interesting dynamic in a romance I’ve read in a long time.
Tory is truly one of the most badass characters I’ve ever read. She makes me wish more female characters I’ve read in romance were like her. How many times have I read a book and thought “she’d be better off alone” and that’s exactly what Tory said. And I know they are going to end up together and be perfect for each other, but they were not at that moment and she had reasons to refuse to bond with Darius for life. It makes perfect sense to me and I kind of love her even more so because of this.
Tory realizing all the tests they had gone through and how they had passed some but failed most… that was hard to swallow. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book, but I’m also kinda scared ngl lol
[image]
“I’m the devil and I want you. I want you like I’ve never wanted anything or anyone. And I will fight to make you mine, no matter what it takes. No force in Solaria will rip us apart.”
Orion just keeps getting better and better. The way he’s willing to give up everything and fight for Darcy is so swoon worthy.
Grumpy assholes who are total softies for their person and their person only are my ultimate downfall. And Orion was so sweet and romantic with Darcy. The secret dates, the presents… I melted. He is the real deal. Real men wish they could be half as perfect as Lacen Orion.
I can’t deny Darcy is my favorite Vegas twin. She went through soooooo much in this book and she came out stronger and even more mature and level headed. I swear the stars were testing my girl left and right in this one. But her resilience and perseverance were outmatched.
The friendship between Tory and Orion made me so happy. He just has amazing chemistry with everyone, tbh. Which brings me to…
GABRIEL FROM THE RUTHLESS BOYS!!
[image]
The way I squealed when Gabriel Nox showed up should be embarrassing but IDGAF. He was admittedly my least favorite mate for Elise in that series, but his friendship with Orion was one of my favorite aspects, and getting to see them together again was such a treat. And his instant friendship with the Vegas Twins only made things better. I can’t wait to see more of him. And hopefully of Elise and her other mates. Especially Leon, please universe give me this.
Darius being jealous of their friendship only sweetened the whole thing even more for me. And I love Orion and Gabriel being these two big, brooding assholes, who turn into giggling fools when they are together. So very girlies BFFs code of them.
[image]
“If you hurt her, I’ll kill you. I don’t care if you’re an Heir or if I end up in Darkmore Penitentiary for the rest of my fucking life. I’ll take any fate for her, so just remember that when you’re playing your little game, Capella.”
The way I fell in love with Orion even more shouldn’t be possible. But then he threatened Seth and I was completely feral for the man.
I hate Seth Capella with all my heart. I need him to suffer and to beg for forgiveness. I don’t care if he was feeling some kind of remorse as he chose to ruin Darcy’s life and threaten her and Orion. I don’t care if that’s the way of the Fae or any other bullshit. He chose to do that to them and I need him to pay.
“You’re nothing, Seth Capella. You’re just a boy kicking his toys out of the pram because I bother you. I get under your skin and you can’t handle that like a man. This isn’t facing me like Fae, it’s pathetic. And if you think you’ve won, you are so wrong. The stars are on my side because they see you for the worthless creature that you are. And they’ll pay you back through me.”
I wanted to kiss the ground Darcy stood on after this. Fuck yes baby girl, make the wolf pay!!
I was so disappointed when Darcy challenged him as her omega and she lost. Especially for how brutal he was and how much he hurt her. But I still have hopes of her winning him in a challenge at some point. I don’t even want Darcy anywhere near his disgusting pack, I just want his life to be ruined so thoroughly, he breaks down.
[image]
I admit Caleb was more tolerable in this one. He finally seemed to realize he and Tory had nothing in common. That date was the most awkward thing I’ve read in a long time. I literally cringed. After that fiasco of a date and hunting Seth (someone Caleb could go all full vampire on without worrying about hurting), he seemed to lose some interest in Tory. And thank the stars for it. I know I won’t be that lucky and I’ll have to endure more moments in the next book where he tries to have sex with her again. I won’t be as lucky as to have him forgetting about her and fucking Seth instead.
“Was I as good as Tory Vega?” “Better.”
But he said chasing Seth was better so, I’m holding onto a tiny sliver of hope. I’m 85% sure they are just queer baiting me AGAIN, though. But a girl can dream!
Max and Geraldine were such an unexpected surprise!!!!!! I'm so into this and I need her to give him an inch at some point before our boy dies of starvation tbh. She's so funny, I love her addition to the main plot. She even made me like Max, go figure!!! lol
Darius and Lance getting into that fight and staying away from each other literally upset me for real. But my heat was going a mile a minute when Orion finally voiced what we all have been thinking. Darius should join forces with the Vega Twins to fight his father. DUH!!!
I couldn't bear the thought of these two not being thick as thieves. But holy queer baiting shenanigans, their reunion when they finally made up was just everything. Is it just me or is their no homo romance getting stronger with each book? lol
And something I absolutely loved is how the Heirs and Lance seem completely okay with all kinds of sexuality and don’t bat an eyelash at Darius/Orion being all over each other, or at Seth being obviously into men. Reading about queer alpha men is always such a joy for me.
Tory being mad at Darcy because of what Seth was forcing her to do was ripping my heart apart. I was feeling so much for both of them for different reasons. Everything was wrong in the world while they were apart.
Then Tory finding out about Darcy and Orion was one of the funniest moments in the series so far. When she kicked him in the balls I was dying laughing. And then the sisters were good again and suddenly everything was right in the world. Phew.
[image]
I’m still reeling from that ending. I’m so worried about Lance and Darcy. I usually pick up the next book the moment I’m done but I couldn’t this time. I needed a moment to process everything and deal with my emotions. All I know is that I love Darius, Darcy, Orion and Tory fiercely and they make my heart hurt....more

What happens at the bottom of the pool, stays at the bottom of the pool.
[image]
CAN WE LIVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT POOL PLEASE
Lacen Orion is the only man who deserves rights in this book.
I’m so obsessed with Orion and Darcy already. And we’re just in the second book. I’m afraid of what’s going to happen to them in the next 7 books… The forbidden aspect and power imbalance are hitting so good for me. Holy shit. It's perfect because their age gap is not that big, and he isn’t part of the Heirs bullying them.
Im fact, I loved the way Orion kept encouraging her and nudging Darcy into fighting and controlling her powers. He said he wouldn’t change alliance, but he’s the reason why the Vega twins didn’t leave the school and decided to keep fighting. So jokes on you, hot professor.
I loved how he was too weak to resist their pull and then proceeded to freak out and be his grumpy self about it. It seemed like he’d been like that for years and Darcy was slowly pulling him out of it. The character development has been so good so far, I can’t wait to see how far he goes for her.
The way he kept targeting Seth because he had hurt Darcy was simply put, poetic cinema.
[image]
One of my favorite scenes is when Orion and Darius discuss how the twins have to leave, and somehow they end up agreeing it’s too dangerous for Darcy and Tory to actually leave and it’s best if they stay at the school, where Orion and Darius can protect them… They are already simping so hard for the twins, and that’s my favorite trope.
I can’t wait for the conflict between Orion and Darius as Orion falls more and more for Darcy. In general, Orion’s angst was so good. The loss of his sister, his broken dreams as a professional pitball player, his bond with Darius and what their families are doing in the shadows… Honestly, Lance Orion is carrying the weight of this massive series on his big shoulders for me.
[image]
“Everyone knows, karma’s a bitch. And today her name was Tory Vega.”
Tory’s comebacks throughout this book are so epic, I heard the snap all the way across from the mortal world. She’s so much more a badass in this book than in the first one. I’m so glad our girl started to think with her upstairs brain... until she didn't. We will just ignore her weak moment with Caleb. Because honestly I don’t get it. Sure, he’s the lesser evil of the bunch but that doesn’t mean we forget he sat back and let his friends nearly drown you, baby girl.
[image]
Also… they didn’t use protection or talk about it at any point???
But going back to badass Tory who thinks with her upstairs brain...
When she sucker punched Max and kicked him in the balls, that’s the moment I knew I wanted to marry her.
But she’s also too impulsive and can come across as abrasive sometimes. The way she ignored Darius’ warnings about his dad and just spoke without thinking in front of him… girl, just breathe before you speak. I can’t wait for her to find out what Lionel did to Darius after that. God, the angst with that whole situation is so, so good!!
“Iron is made stronger in the hottest part of the fire, Seth. You didn't break me, you forged me.”
Darcy had some pretty good character development in this one, too. I’m so glad she meant it when she said she wasn’t going to trust them again. When she didn’t get all hot and bothered when Seth started pawing at her, feeling disgusted instead, I was so relieved. Well done Darcy, here’s your golden star!
[image]
The scene of the four Heirs in detention with her and Orion is probably one of my favorites in the book. We got to see the dynamic between the Heirs, and there were a few moments they actually treated Darcy like a person.
I’m so glad I read Ruthless Boys before this, because I already know everything about Elysian Mates, Star Crossed Mates, Nebula Allies and Astral Adversaries. Otherwise this would have been a pretty heavy info dumb to swallow lol
Now about the Heirs
[image]
Seth and his pack urinating over Tory made me see literally red. He didn’t suffer enough in this book. I need that man on his knees, begging for forgiveness. Their revenge on him was a masterplan, though. Making him a pariah in his own pack. Seth can’t stand being alone or not having physical contact, so he was pretty desperate and upset by the end of the book. I enjoyed that very much, but I still need him to suffer even more.
One thing I did like was the scenes with Seth and his pack and how we were suddenly in the middle of an omegaverse book. When he said he had made Darcy part of his pack by mistake and she was now his omega and she had to either submit or fight him… I almost fell off my chair. Raise your hand if you’ve read that same plot on Wattpad or AO3.
Not a theory but what I hope will happen: Darcy chooses to challenge him instead of submitting and becomes the alpha of his pack. Please universe, give me this and I promise I won’t leave dirty dishes in the sink ever again.
[image]
Also: I guess he is indeed polyamorous after all since his pack gave him an orgy to cheer him up lmao.
Also here’s my real first theory: I think he’s working for Lionel?? Hear me out. Tory heard Lionel on the phone and he mentioned not having another Heir disappoint him, referring to Darius. So which one of the other Heirs was on the phone with him? I believe it was Seth, and that’s why he’s so adamant about making the twins leave and was visibly upset when he noticed the others softening to them instead. But who knows, I may be completely wrong lol
Caleb insists on giving us nothing. Istg I don’t understand what Tory sees in him. He must be really, really attractive for her to put aside everything for his D. He wouldn’t help the twins or speak in their favor. He just stood by as his friends kept torturing them. And then Tory had sex with him?? Girl, I’m judging you so hard right now. So. Hard. I guess getting his POV helped to sympathize a little bit with him but it was nowhere nearly enough. I just really don’t care about him and their scenes did nothing for me.
[image]
Max. Oh my god. He’s so disgusting. When he spat on them, I lost my mind with anger. And the fact that they tried to justify his obsession with feeding on other people’s fear because it leaves them with a sense of peace and calm was just bullshit. I don’t care if he secretly feeds stray kittens in his spare time. I care about his actions. Actions speak truer than words. And his actions so far have been vicious, vindictive and violent against the Vega Twins. So no, thank you. Next, please.
[image]
Darius had the best character development in the whole book. I went from indifferent to heart eyed. I’m seeing the appeal, y’all. It’s definitely there.
He’s tormented and abused, but has to maintain this facade of being the strongest, most powerful person ever… meanwhile his own father is beating him. I have to admit my heart grew three sizes bigger for him. The way he started to simp for Tory was also so good. His jealousy wasn’t on my bingo card, but I’m not complaining. I think it was even better because she was completely oblivious. The angst is just too good to resist. I can’t wait for her to catch up.
[image]
That being said, when he told Tory that the things he had done to her weren’t personal, I was in danger of hurting myself from the massive eye roll I gave him. Darius has a lot of growing to do and I can’t wait to see his journey.
The ending alone deserves 5 stars. First of all, the pitball match with all the Heirs being a complete mess thanks to the twins’ revenge was just poetic cinema. And the best part is that they didn’t even know. This shows women are smarter than men, but I digress. They gave us some really funny moments, and I found myself laughing out loud at some of them.
I arched a brow when the girls were suddenly saying they wanted to claim their throne back, tho. Where did that come from, locas? And the Heirs’ reaction didn’t surprise me in the least. Of course Caleb did nothing to help them. If Tory goes back to him in the third book, I’m going to be so disappointed…
And then all hell broke loose and those epic fighting scenes happened, and Darcy’s first worry was Orion, and Tory’s was Darius and that’s when I knew Darcy/Orion and Tory/Darius are probably Elysian Mates and I cannot wait. I’m so excited. Because if I reached that conclusion, that can only mean the Twisted Sisters are ready to boop me in the nose with some epic plot twist lol

But I decided to give the audiobook another chance and discovered nothing happens until they are 20 and the step-brother factor wasn't creepy at all.
I'm really glad I decided to give this another chance because this book blew my mind. Even though it was definitely too long and too cheesy, but honestly, all the emotions were just amped up to the max in general. That's probably why this book is so addictive. Both characters feel their emotions so strongly, it's so intense, you can't stop reading.
This book has the craziest dirty talk I've ever read, and I mean that in the best way possible. I wish other authors were as creative as this one lmao
