Definitely "the hunger games" with magic..I really enjoyed it. The twists at the end were very well planned out!

A huge thank you to Netgalley and to Orion Publishing for granting me an ARC of All of Us Villains.
This book was a wild ride. It was like Hunger Games and Battle Royale rolled into one. Every 20 years, seven children are named as Champions and forced (though most often the Champions are eager to prove their worth) to participate in a tournament, with only one victor. There are rules however - if no one is dead by the end of the tournament then everyone dies, leaving the prize - raw high-magick - to be left untouched until the next tournament.
We are granted with the POV's of four of the seven kids - Isobel Macaslan, Alistair Lowe, Briony Thorburn and Gavin Grieve. Each enter the tournament with plans and strategies in mind but none of them are truly prepared for the horrors of the tournament and what it will do to them both physically and mentally.
I can't wait for the next book to see how all of this plans out.
