Publisher's summary

I summon the lightning.

I claim my power.

The warlocks of Icarus Academy claim me.

I start my night as a cat burglar in Singapore and I end up queen of the witching world. Too bad this rags-to-riches fairytale's a gig I never applied for and won't accept. My witchcraft is wild and lethal, so I've renounced my power. I'm a fish out of water at Icarus Academy.

But these four sexy warlocks who rule the school just won't take no for an answer.

They want me to claim my power. They want me to summon the lightning. And they want to claim me as their consort.

Because the witching world is dying, and I'm their last chance. But there's a queen killer on the hunt. Unless I figure out how to claim my power before the killer claims my head, there's a global extinction event looming.

With my name written all over it.

Listen for an intense dark witch academy why choose paranormal romance that delivers teacher-student forbidden love, steamy group interactions, possessive males, sexy shifters, first-time M/M, bi awakening, a lightning witch heroine who doesn't have to choose, and enough heat to set your Academy uniform on fire.

Laura Navarre has created a scorcher with Gemini Queen. Zara has spent years running away from her heritage when she is pulled back into a world she has tried very hard to leave behind and not only has to grapple with the new title of Queen in Waiting that is thrust upon her not so willingly, but also picks up four handsome warlocks to call her own. With their newly budding relationships to navigate, and a Queen killer on the loose, Zara and her guys must fight to stay alive long enough for her to figure out if she really wants this gig and all it entails. When your harem contains a hot wolf shifter (who is also your professor), a dreamy virgin (on two counts) who is the head of his class, a scorching Adam Driver lookalike, and the Goblin Kings doppelgänger, how can you stay away? Let’s just throw in a couple of bi-awakenings for good measure and this book has everything you could hope for in a Reverse Harem.

Listening to the audio version was actually my second time with this book as I also read the ebook last year, and I would gladly read it again. Having the added bonus of the author herself as the narrator was quite interesting. Especially since it allows you to be 100% certain on the pronunciation of names and words you might not be familiar with. I love that she made it clear which voice belongs to who and was even able to do Ronin’s British accent, but I would have loved to hear the accents of the Europeans in the harem. Even so, I understand she was a sole narrator and not even the best voice actors out there can do every accent in the world. Major props to Laura for taking on this beast herself!

Great story

I really enjoyed the story even though I hated the fMc through most of the book. The VA is the author and props to her for doing it. (I hated Vasili’s voice but I got over it)((sorry!)) I’m glad the story continues because I can definitely see the storyline going on for at least 3 or 4 books.

A well written Enemies to Lover

I don't often review books but I have to recommend this one.
This book is a reverse harem with enemies to lover/ bully romance. If you don't like reading about polyamorous relationships with MM themes, then this is not a book for you.
This is a great book with well written polyamorous relationships. In the book there is always some sort of mutual respect for each character of interest, which is why I recommend this book. Often in similar books with a bully trope, the male leads take it too far and insult/ degrade/ hurt the female lead. This book doesn't do that.

Horrid narrator!! So VERY bad!!

I'm seriously struggling here. I'm having a very real problem concentrating on the story due to the narrator. I have NEVER heard one that's worse. I normally don't take the time to leave negative reviews. However, if I can save even one person from the pain of listening to this I have to. I get wanting to save money by narrating their own books. But this audiobook should be used as the prime example of why you shouldn't.

Very steamy!

Single narrator, multiple point if view. Loved Zara’s voice!!!
Fast paced, steamy, paranormal, reverse harem.
I loved the writing! Great plot. I’m very impressed the author is also a talented voice actor.

Story is great, but…

The story was great! Plenty of spice! But it would have been better with a professional narrator…. Looks to be narrated by the author, and her different character voices are terrible and annoying. I hate to say something bad about it because I really liked the story. But after about 10 chapters, I wanted to switch to a digital copy to read instead of listen…
