About this listen

Dark magic is forbidden at Zodiac Academy. That’s why I hide it so well. But now, I’m supposed to mentor Darius Acrux, the son of the most ruthless dragon shifter in Solaria. If he’s caught using blood magic, he’ll lose his claim to the throne. The problem is? Our families are up to something, and we’re determined to find out what. No matter what dark power we must turn to....

Welcome to Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny. As the Fae of the future, you will soon learn the merciless way to claim your power. Life among the vampires, shifters, and sirens is no easy ride, but if you can make it through your exams, you might just be able to harness your inner strength and earn your place among the elite.

This is a prequel novella set five years before Zodiac Academy: The Awakening, the first book in the Zodiac Academy series.

Narrator puts way too much emphasis in his speaking. He sounds like one big run on sentence! hard to listen to, couldn't understand the story.

Could barely get past the narrators over exaggeration and mis-enunciation to even listen to the story.

The story seems to be interesting enough to try the first book, although slightly confusing. Part of the problem is the narrator. His reading is accentuated weird parts and overall sort of made it hard for me to get into it.

This was such an intense opening into the world of The Zodiac Academy and the origins of Darius Acrux & Lance Orion. It definitely leaves you needing answers.

I’ve heard so much about this series so decided to start with this novella. To see if I would like it. I wanted to stop it several times because of the narration. A 14 y/o boy doesn’t have a voice like that. It was all distracting to the story line and often times overly dramatic.

Good backstory and a quick read. Horrible narration! I couldn’t get past chapter one with Darius’s voice. Seriously, who speaks like that?! No one! Had to turn back to my kindle to read this one.

Awful Narration

Lionel is the worst!!! I feel like he is only going to get worse as the series goes on. I loved getting a glimpse into Darius and Lance's relationship and can't wait to see how it affects the rest of the books!

Definitely have to read!!

It was a crazy story and the narration was over the top but it truly entertained me. I’ll look for the others now.

Crazy! Entertained me.

Did not like the readers voice. I could not follow the story due to the voice.

The readers voice was very difficult to follow

I'm not sure why I struggled with Jake's performance of Darius in this audiobook. But it was a struggle to enjoy his voice, it felt too deep and off. It's hard for me to explain as it felt like he was trying to speak from low in his belly. It was a bit distracting despite how much I enjoyed this story. I felt like this was a great starting point to understanding Zodiac Academy and Darius Acrux.

My heart broke for Lance Orion, but this story makes more sense on why he doesn't get to follow his dreams. It gave me a lot more background. It also sets the stage for what is happening with Darius and his fellow Heirs. This is a quick story but needed if you go down the Zodiac Academy rabbit hole.

Love the Story, Struggled w/ Darius
