Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac Book 1: Dark Fae by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti

Dark Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, #1)
Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac Book 1

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.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

I read the Zodiac Academy and realized at some point during that series that there was a series that came before it! So I'm back tracking. And after seeing several of these characters that made an appearance in Zodiac Academy, I'm happy to finally get their stories! The glimpses of them weren't enough and are so different from what I saw in Dark Fae, so I'm looking forward to getting through this series. So this story follows multiple characters but at the core it is about Elise. Elise who lost her brother and knows that someone caused his death. Her clue to his death is that someone called the King killed him at Aurora Academy. And there are 4 known Kings who run that school. So the question is who did it? And why? She is able to sneak her way into the academy as a student and investigates to figure out what her brother was up to and what led him to his death. What she never expected was to be drawn in by the four Kings, Gabriel, Dante, Ryder, and Leon, and for them to all have an interest as her as well. Also, flashbacks of Elise's brother, Gareth, reveal his time at the academy and what he was up to. Really loved this story! There are so many elements playing at once and you just never know what is going to happen. All of these characters are super interesting and I can't wait to see where this series goes and how everything plays out.
