Dark Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac #1 by Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

Book 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 .


My Summary

I could probably count the number of books I have re-read on one hand. When it came to not just this book, or this one series, but rather two that tell a complicated story of the land that is Solaria, this is the ONLY series I have willingly read twice.


The Ruthless Boys series takes place 4-5 years before the story of Zodiac Academy The first time I read these books, I read the Zodiac Academy series, then the Ruthless boys series. This time around I have chosen to start with the Ruthless Boys series, then the Zodiac Academy series.

The people of Solaria are as real to me, as my own family and children. My heart and soul are beholden to this story and life. Elise's brother has been murdered, she knows it, she mourns his death and throughout this story is her journey to seek vengeance for his death. I absolutely adore her character. She is a fierce, independent and strong woman who shifts into a vampire. I cannot even imagine the pain Elise has endured not just with the death of her brother, but really the disappointment and neglect from her life but her mother.


This book, and series is a reverse harem, so if that is not your thing just skip right to the Zodiac Academy series.
