Dark Fae

Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, Book 1

By: Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

Narrated by: Keira Stevens, Troy Duran

Length: 14 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

This is a reverse harem series set in the world of Zodiac Academy four years before the Vega Twins were awakened. Expect some character cross-over, dark and hot romance, and a twisted murder mystery which will leave your head spinning.

Highly recommend

Narration of this book was great. Troy did a superb job on narrating all of the men and giving each their own distinctive and distinguishable voice. Keira was excellent as always.


The story, universe and characters was just... just WOW! I feel like I went on a great adventure with Elise as she left home to attend Aurora Academy to find her brother's murderer and avenge his death. What surprised me the most is how much heart was at the core of the story and also how laugh-out-loud funny it is at times. Leon, the lazy Lion King, is hilarious and just a genius character.

The only con is that book 2 isn't on Audible and now I will go read it on Kindle Unlimited.

Can’t wait book 4!

It’s been months without a good series till now! Loving it! Keeps me on edge just enough without overkill.

WOW! WHAT A GREAT START TO A NEW SERIES

What are great start to the series. Caroline and Susanne always amaze me with their world building and character development. Elise is a bada** babe who I have a girl crush on! Lets not forget about these four sexy men they are complete fire! These two authors have such a way with words and their detailed writing of the world they are building is amazing. There is so many secrets that we still need to discover and I can't wait until we dive deeper. You get all the feels, all the drama and all the mystery in this one. If you loved the Zodiac Series then you will love this one as well.... Bring on book 2!!! I am so excited.

Phenomenal

I love Caroline and Susanne's work And I was so incredibly happy when they decided to make this an audible book. It's perfect for going on long long trips.

Not only did it help me stay awake it made me laugh get teary eyed towards the end and I just enjoyed it altogether.

Starts slower but holy hell it drags you in.

I absolutely love the start to this series. Seeing Elise rip into her kings hearts.

Loveee

Definitely recommend people to read this. I love the interaction between Elise and the boys, as a group and individually. They’re all endearing in their own way and I love that Elise is no damsel in distress. I did not want to put this down.
The narrators did a wonderful job on this as they were very engaging and caught my attention to the point where I’d laugh at the funny scenes because their voice correctly portrayed it.

Excited to hear more!

I'm hooked and excited to continue on with the ride. If not for the sale on audio books, I never would have started this series.

Uuuuuu waw

Loved this. It is such a nice story. Cannot wait for the next one. Slow burn why choose and amazing magic sistem.

Worth the Credit!

I was nervous since I loved ZA and didn’t know what to expect going in. There were parts that drug on a little longer than necessary in my opinion but overall a great story and amazing narrators.
