Loren F., 184/5 Stars Synopsis: In Ilvernath, seven major families battle for dominance over powerful high magick, with each one more brutal and cunning than the next. Every twenty years, during the Blood Moon, each family sets forth a champion to compete in a tournament to the death. But this time around -- the champions of this year's tournament are done playing by the same old rules. As they build alliances and face painful betrayals; the truth behind the cursed Blood Veil and its tournament begins to unravel...and it is twisted and darker than you could imagine. The Hunger Games + dark magic + incredible storytelling? Sign me up! This book had it all, a truly unique magic system, extremely well-written characters with depth and fascinating backstories, and a fast-paced writing style that kept me engaged the whole way through. Each chapter was told from the different POV of each main character (all while staying in the third person narrative) which really allowed us to see into the minds and hearts of each character and learn more about their struggles, fears, and desires. I also really enjoyed how the authors' writing styles seemed to blend together seamlessly, all while telling a compelling and creative story. Merciless, dark, and intriguing; "All Of Us Villains" is the perfect blend of suspense, excitement, and mystery that will leave you yearning for more. With shocking twists and a ton of "OMG" moments, I can definitely say this is one of my favorite reads of the year, and will surely be a huge hit when it is officially released. I can't wait for the sequel, as this book definitely ends on a bit of a cliffhanger! --- For more book reviews from Loren, checkout her Instagram: @reading.with.frances! REFERENCES
