Zodiac Academy Book 8: Sorrow and Starlight by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti

Sorrow and Starlight (Zodiac Academy, #8)
Zodiac Academy Book 8

All stars must fall.

Bloody, lost, broken. We live to fight another day. But with so much stolen from us, can the fates ever twist in our favour again?

My sister and I have been torn apart by shadows and despair, and now we each stand alone.

Our sorrow is spun like a web, trapping us tight, and I fear our enemies will soon come to feast upon our souls.

But if I have my way, the merciless sky will have dealt us its final fortune. It’s time for us to take back the power that’s been ripped from our grasp and turn the tide of this war.

All stars must fall, and all Phoenixes must rise.

Long live the Savage Queens.

*This will now be book 8 of 9 in the series*

***This is a dark, bully romance – don’t go expecting a sweet school for magic with friends around every corner. Fae fight for everything they own and Zodiac Academy is a cutthroat school for students aged 18+ where only the strongest prevail. There’s no Dumbledore here to save anyone’s ass and Lionel Acrux will give Voldemort a run for his money in the evil dictator category. So hold onto your stardust (broomsticks not required) and get ready for a bumpy ride***

 My Review: 5/5 Stars

Oh. My. Stars. I have never been happier to have won an ARC of this book. Getting that few days head start before it came out and to avoid spoilers was just what I needed. Cause let me tell you, there is no part of this book that you want spoiled. This book was EVERYTHING. I'm going to avoid spoilers cause again, you don't want that in this story. But what a freaking wild ride. At the beginning of this story, we pick up where that heartbreaking end of the previous book left us. Our characters are grieving and trying to pick themselves back up to continue on with this war. But it is not even close to easy. Not for any of them. So much happens in this book, it's insane. You'll laugh and cry and feel every emotion in between. To me, it was all worth it to get to that ending, despite the small natural cliffhanger that will lead us to (hopefully for real this time) our final story. So a spoiler-free bit about what this book covers? Well, you better have read the previous books cause that I won't not spoil. Tory is devastated but picking up the pieces of losing Darius and having lost track of where Darcy has gone. But she has one goal in mind, to keep the promise to curse the stars for what they have done to her and Darius. She will do what she has to do. And all I gotta say is go Tory! Darcy is struggling with the curse of the Shadow Beast and finds herself with Orion. The two will go through some hell but at least in some areas, the stars seem to be on their side. The Heirs are devastated about losing Darius but are working with Tory and Geraldine and the rebels to end Lionel and find Darcy and Orion. We also get some surprising and new points of view. Some crazy truths and revelations. This book keeps you on your toes the whole time. Such an amazing story and I cannot wait to get our last book!
