Zodiac Academy: Fated Throne Part 1

By the STARS readers, that last book left us fucking reeling. Fated Throne starts off strong - new weapons, changing friendships, and new plans. However, we all know these authors are particularly skilled at bringing us up before we hit rock bottom, so don't get too comfy. Tory's life is in the hands of the one person who can't be trusted and he's gaining power with every page. On the other hand, Darcy teams up with the heirs and puts her phoenix powers to good use. Plus, we meet the Spares as fully-fledged Zodiac Academy students, including one (very beloved) pegasus. Join us on this week's episode! 

Zodiac Academy: Cursed Fates Part 5

Hey Readers... long time, no see! We had a lot of interruptions between this episode and the last. The stars really had it out for us! But we are so excited to get back into the swing of things.  The last chapters of Cursed Fates are full of high highs and low lows - we truly begin to see the unraveling of the world we know in Zodiac Academy. A prophecy is foretold, Lionel gains a new weapon in his fight to the top, and Orion explores his newfound lack of freedom. Diego's order is revealed and some of our central relationships are turned upside down completely! Join us as we finish up the last section (and lament over the insane cliffhanger).

Looks like Christy has some competition. Also, the twins get some insight into their parents (and some other family members!) on why they were fated to be our protags. Join us for some discussion!
