Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac is a dark, new‑adult paranormal romance series set at Aurora Academy, following vampire Elise Callisto as she goes undercover to investigate her brother’s suspicious death and the deadly new drug tied to it. Her only leads point to the Academy’s four ruthless “kings”―Gabriel, a harpy seer; Dante, a storm dragon mafia prince; Ryder, a cold basilisk gang leader; and Leon, a cocky lion shifter thief―each dangerous, powerful, and with their own motives and secrets. As Elise embeds herself in their world of gang wars, secret societies, and celestial magic, attraction tangles with suspicion and revenge, pulling her into a why‑choose romance and a larger conspiracy threatening the entire fae city, while this description leaves the identity of her brother’s killer and the endgame of the series unrevealed.

Erica’s review
This is only getting 4 stars because it's the Twisted Sisters AND in the same world as Zodiac Academy with some cross-over. Otherwise, it would probably be a 3 or 3.5 for me because of the "why choose" trope and the fact that again, it probably didn't need to be 5 books, so it's a little long IMO. But, I truly truly love their hilarious writing and how they make you have such strong feelings for SO many characters in one series. How TF do they keep doing that to me?! If you love ZA like me and don't mind the reverse harem trope + a super spicy series - this will scratch that Solaria itch. This is essentially a Zodiac Academy prequel series but helps tie a bunch of things together which I of course ate TF up!
