A grim take on a grim subject. It’s hard to find the light in a book about children committing horrific acts for the sakes of their families. Slowly the group is starting to realize that there is something they could do about it but even the path to lifting the curse benefits a possible enemy. I am eager to read the sequel in hopes that all can still be righted though it feels all hope may be lost.

This is definitely a YA. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. But the different girl falling for the broody boy is just not my thing like it use to be.

"The Lowes didn't tell their children monster stories so they could slay them. The Lowes told them so their children would become monsters themselves."
All Of Us Villains follows a small town called Ivernhath where recently, the true nature of their town and seven famous families has been revealed, every twenty years, the families breed a champion that will enter a death game and in this book, the game is about to begin again with seven new champions!

I loved All Of Us villains, the atmosphere was amazing, the plot was interesting and kept me on the edge of my seat hoping my faves would survive! I loved the characters and the world building.
"The monsters had shrouded the room in darkness and Alistair stood hurriedly his head dizzy. Sick as he was, he still knew which monsters were the worst. Those who sat before him. No horror story compared to this one"

My favourites were definitely Alistair, Isobel and Gavin I would die for all three of them honestly, but I was worried going into this with four POV's and seven characters but it worked, it wasnt bogged down with lore but you got to know them all without getting confused. The histories of each of the families was revealed and again you dont get bored of the information because you want to learn more about each character.
THE. ENDING. I. AM. TERRIFIED. Oh my god that ending I am not ready for this sequel !!!!
Also didnt love how one relationship felt like instalove but it's a YA after all😂

Does this count as dark academia? If so, it's the only dark academia one I actually like. If not and it's more of just a straight up fantasy, it's still super good. I need to listen to the second book. It's a great teen battle royale kind of premise with similarities to the hunger games last book of the opponents banding together to want to break the system so it stops feeding on the lives of children. Really like Alistair's character and Isobel's character. Not the biggest fan of Briony and generally like Gavin as well. This is told in multiple POVs so if that's not your thing, maybe skip. But I want to know how everything ends.

It is a well-written book that follows characters who all are in the morally grey zone.
The concept of the story and the characters keep the readers busy and the plottwists create suspense.
I liked that the book has a dark tone and does not sugarcoat anything.
The closer I got to the end of the book the plot twists and the story kept on going and I was trapped in a state of suspense and shock. The book makes you realize you can’t trust anyone because everyone is capable of betraying each other.
All in all, I can not wait for the next book, which hopefully explores the characters and the story even more.
I liked that the story itself was very brutal and that it was expanded with the help of fairy tales and family stories.

I was intrigued because this book seemed a lot like the Hunger Games but with magic, and that's what it was, it just felt..... incomplete. Only 4 of the 7 "champions" of the tournament have chapters from their pov's and it felt disgruntled because of that, we were able to gather backstory on those 4, but every other character fell flat in my opinion, it was still a fun read, and I will be reading the second book, but I was so saddened with some of the writing decisions featured in this book.
