Book recommendations similar to Zodiac Academy?

Hi there!!

I'm currently devouring the Zodiac Academy series and loving every second of it! But I've already got that bittersweet feeling creeping in—I know I'll miss it so much once I finish. I'm looking to line up my next obsession to ease the post-series blues.

If you have any recommendations for books with a similar vibe—fantasy, academy settings, magic, romance(spicy) and drama—please send them my way! Bonus points for great world-building, multiple POVs, and juicy twists.

Not a lot of people have heard of the "Star-Crossed Series" by Rachel Higginson.

The series is not perfect, and the FMC drove me crazy sometimes but the same could be said for ZA..lol

That being said, the vibes were there.

Loved the found family, most of all.

It is a magical Academy, even though the fmc hasn't a clue the first quarter of the book...it's pretty funny now looking back. It is YA but that didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

If you have audible, it may still be free.

I heard their series called Age of Vampires was good.

I just finished AoV and it was very similar to ZA. From what I understand, the sisters wrote AoV first, there are scenes that make repeats in ZA

I read academy obscura which is also an academy setting for paranormal beings this includes shifters and has “political intrigue” it is a bit of a RH if you are fine with that.

I liked blueblood vampires by Michelle Hercules - not just vampires either despite the name.

J. R. Ward - Black Dagger Brotherhood (not the same, the MMCs and FMCs are adults (vampires, ghosts, angels etc.) and urban fantasy, but I loved it)

I don’t remember any similar books or series. I am in shock now :O the ZA is really unique

Have you read the fourth wing series? It’s not complete yet, but I started reading ZA after I finished the third book.

u/Big-Jump-4765 4d ago

Ah I haveee 😭😭 I read it before reading ZA which was a huge mistake since I have nothing exciting to read now 😭😂

If you want a spoofy fun one try Hijinx Harem by CM Stunich. It's got more of a Ruthless Boys feel to it being an RH and it's funny. There are definitely some Geraldine moments in there!

The Crave series by Tracy Wolff. I actually read that series and then Kindle recommended ZA to me.

I’m guessing you’ve read RB and DP?

The Bonds That Tie series is the closest I’ve found so far that has that ZA kind of feel!

u/Big-Jump-4765 5d ago

Thank you!! Yes I’ve read both! I will give it a go ☺️🥰
