The Reckoning Zodiac Academy Book 3 by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti | A Review

This is the review for book 3 named as "The Reckoning" in the Zodiac Academy series. I am re-reading this series for the sake of this review and enjoying the hell out of this story. First time when I read this series I was like at the edge of my seat trying to read as fast as possible to see what will happen next but now I am just savoring it ☕. Let's get into review without delay...

Blurb

The answer to your question will be revealed on the Lunar Eclipse. But when finding the truth, don't let the shadows take you.

The week of The Reckoning has begun. And senior students have been tasked with making the freshmen's lives pure hell as they prepare to take their fateful assessment.

With the Lunar Eclipse on the horizon, Tory and Darcy have more to worry about than just passing their exams. A dark plot is unfolding and the shadows are drawing closer..

MY REVIEW

The Reckoning continues from the last book and now the twins will be tested in a week of Reckoning. They will be tested in terms of their learning and resilience....what it means to be Fae. Okay so I will define somethings here that are school terms without spoilers of course. The Reckoning is the best one in terms of school and academy life.

The Hell week is mentioned to happen before the Reckoning. Hell week means the freshmen are going to be tortures by there senior counterparts relentlessly and the Reckoning is the series of exams testing elemental magic of students leading to the decision if the Fae will stay in the Academy or not. In short everything happens in this book is no short of effing amazing.

Other things also happening like the tension simmering between Caleb and Darius, Orion being pissed off all the time and docking house points from students, Tory is a force of nature in this book, Geraldine is a one big buttery bagel 😅 and the slow burn, sexual tension happening between several potential people is hilariously amazing.

On the whole this book is a 5 star from me. I enjoyed it very much. Now I want to read more books of this type But let's finish this series first shall we..

Best Words

“In Solaria blue means royal. And to me, blue means you.”

― Caroline Peckham, The Reckoning

“She wasn't just a girl though. Not to me. She was the one girl I shouldn't want, the one I couldn't have, the one I didn't need. And yet I did.”

― Caroline Peckham, The Reckoning

“I just want someone to make my heart beat faster,” she said in a low voice that had me drawing closer to her as I looked into her dark eyes. “To challenge me and make me laugh and push back against my bullshit. I want to be forced out of my comfort zone and I want to feel excited, exhilarated, afraid. But not just because you’re an asshole. Because I want to feel alive.”

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

This review aims to provide insight into the book and the movie adaptation. I will analyze the plot, characters, and writing style, and give an overall rating.

Plated Prisoner Series | A series review (Spoiler Alert!!!)

Have you ever stumbled upon a series that not only captures your imagination but also challenges the norms of classic narratives?

If you haven't yet experienced this literary masterpiece, be prepared for a rollercoaster ride of intrigue, deception, and personal growth.

Auren, with her genuine golden touch, becomes the linchpin of the plot as ...

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place. Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No...

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has somet...
