Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Synopsis:

You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny.

If you're one of the Fae, elemental magic is in your blood. And apparently it's in ours. As twins born in the month of Gemini, we're a rare breed even in this academy of supernatural a-holes.

Changelings were outlawed hundreds of years ago but I guess our birth parents didn't get the memo. Which means we're totally unprepared for the ruthless world of Fae.

Air. Fire. Water. Earth.

No one has ever harnessed all four of them, until we arrived. And it hasn't made us any friends so far.

As the rarest Elementals ever known, we're already a threat to the four celestial heirs; the popular, vindictive bullies who happen to be some of the hottest guys we've ever seen. It doesn't help that they're the most dangerous beasts in the Academy. And probably on earth too.

Our fates are intertwined, but they want us gone. They've only got until the lunar eclipse to force us out and they'll stop at nothing to succeed.

We never knew we had a birthright to live up to but now that we do, we intend to claim our throne.

We can't expect any help from the faculty when it comes to defending ourselves. So if the dragon shifters want some target practice, the werewolves want someone to hunt or the vampires fancy a snack then we have to be ready. But we've been looking after each other for a long time and fighting back is in our blood.

Today's horoscope: totally screwed.

My Opinion:

I attempted this book a second time after trying to read it at the beginning or mid-to-late August but just didn't have the time. I was sick from both shots when it came to the Covid vaccine. So when I was home recovering I was literally sleeping the whole time. However, this time when I started the book I got all the way through it and fell immediately in love with it. I just had to pick up the second book.

Let's meet the twins, Tory and Darcy, the long lost twins of a king and queen that were murdered when they were babies. The girls were thought to have been lost as well but they were not. They were sent to the human realm and swapped with human babies.

We meet our first professor at the school that they are going to be going to when Darcy is running from the cops but we don't know it yet. We meet him again when Tory is leaving the bar that she goes to after she steals a bike. So much has obviously happened to these girls and when Orion tells them that they are the lost princesses of Solaria who wouldn't want to jump for the money with the way their lives have been?

The Celestial heirs are soon met when the girls arrive after they have discovered they have an affinity for all four elements. Of course the men are threatened by the girls even though they know nothing of the place they are in or control of the elements they wield. The four of them are determined to make their lives living hell.

Baker's Corner-Herbed Crockpot Bread

Preparing to make this bread. Yes, you read that right! Herbed Crock Pot Bread. I probably thought the same thing that you are thinking right now. You can make bread in the crockpot?!? Where the heck has this been all my life! So I decided that I would try this recipe and I'll let a link to where I found the recipe at the bottom along with the recipe itself. I want to give credit where credit is due. So anyways I was pretty stoked to find a recipe that I could make bread in the crockpot. I want to go ahead and make note that all crockpots are different and not all of them cook at the same temperature. So while the times in this may work for you they did not work for me. The recipe is simple to do and fairly quick in the process if you have all of the ingredients on hand. I thought I had all the ingredients on hand only to discover I did not so a quick trip to the Dollar General was in order. Sadly they did not have the items I needed so I made a quick trip next door to ...

How Our Waitress at Mama Melrose Made Our Night Better

Photo found via Google A few years ago, 2016 to be exact, we took a trip to Disney World just the four of us. Usually, we have my parents with us when we go because the extra eyes on my two boys are always helpful because the little one still likes to bolt occasionally. However, this particular trip my parents were unable to travel down at the same time with us and my husband and I were really wanting to take the kids still. So we decided what the heck we'll take them by ourselves. They are our kids after all. So we packed up the car the night before leaving. Doodlebug had to go to school the next morning. It was his last day of school for the year for him at least. He had an awards ceremony that we were going to be in attendance too. He was so excited to be getting his little award for A-B honor roll. Anyways, let's fast-forward a bit into our trip. We were in Hollywood Studios we were sitting down to the Indiana Jones show with plenty of time to still spare to get to ou...
