Six nominees…. Four trials…. One victor!

This is a book filled with YA Dark Academia vibe. The rivalry between the main characters is intriguing and makes it so you want to keep reading to find out more.
There are twisted truths, betrayals, and the need to drive on no matter what the world throws are you. It’s emotionally tense and an enjoyable read/ listen.

Multiple POV books are so hit or miss for me. Unfortunately, I hated 4/6 of the main characters/povs so this was a tough read for me. The other 2 povs saved this from being 1 star for me. The plot was mediocre to me and very predictable. This book was fine. I just struggled with most of the characters.
