The week of The Reckoning is here, and the freshmen at Zodiac Academy are in for a hellish time…literally. Senior students are out for blood, exams are looming, and with the Lunar Eclipse approaching, Darcy and Tory have bigger problems than just surviving school drama. The shadows are closing in, and the stakes are higher than ever.

Okay, okay, you caught me, I’m officially in my Zodiac Academy binge era. But can you blame me? This book actually has a structured plot (for once!), and the chaos is next-level. The Darius and Tory push-and-pull? Chef’s kiss. The school drama is finally evolving into something darker and juicier. And the Lunar Eclipse? Lets just say things got way more intense than I bargained for. Oh, and did I mention the cliffhanger? Because, of course, there’s a cliffhanger.
