Book Synopsis
The blockbuster co-writing debut of Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman, All of Us Villains begins a dark tale of ambition and magick...
You Fell in Love with the Victors of the Hunger Games.Now Prepare to Meet the Villains of the Blood Veil. The Blood Moon rises. The Blood Veil falls. The Tournament begins. Every generation, at the coming of the Blood Moon, seven families in the remote city of Ilvernath each name a champion to compete in a tournament to the death. The prize? Exclusive control over a secret wellspring of high magick, the most powerful resource in the world--one thought long depleted. This year, thanks to a salacious tell-all book, the seven champions are thrust into the worldwide spotlight, granting each of them new information, new means to win, and most importantly, a choice: accept their fate or rewrite their story. But this is a story that must be penned in blood.
Review Quotes
"Magical, clever and cutthroat, All of Us Villains sets out to make it impossible to know who to root for.... A fun, twisty ride through a world full of spells and family secrets." --Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series
"Positively wicked in all the right ways. This series is my new obsession, and I cannot wait to devour the next one. With its innovative magic system, a twisted cast of characters you somehow can't help but love, and a plot that will leave you on the edge of your seat, All of Us Villains is addicting from start to finish. I'm obsessed." --Adalyn Grace, New York Times bestselling author of All the Stars and Teeth "Foody and Herman's collaboration offers a fun yet brutal tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and ever-shifting loyalties. From twists that'll make you gasp to believably flawed characters you can't help but cheer for and curse in the same breath, this one will keep readers on the edge of their seats." --Tara Sim, author of Scavenge the Stars "A blood-soaked modern fairytale brimming with magic, spectacle, and unforgettable characters." --Katy Rose Pool, author of There Will Come A Darkness "Dark, luscious, and brutally smart, All of Us Villains is a fresh but unforgiving look at the legacy of abusive families and community-sanctioned violence. Foody and Herman have created a thrilling story that is impossible to put down; I stayed up all night to finish this book." --Victoria Lee, author of A Lesson in Vengeance and The Fever King"Both glittering with magic and drenched in blood, All of Us Villains kept me up at night with its heart-pounding pace and layered mysteries.

4.75 ⭐I love reading this book. The vibes were great, it felt like the hunger games but with magic. I loved that the world building felt natural not like it was just dumped on us in a huge chapter. I couldn't put this book down, and the sequel is just as good.
Amazing YA Fantasy!

All of Us Villains is pitched as a new take on the classic story The Hunger Games. Instead of two tributes from twelve districts, seven powerful families pick one member each to compete. There is magick, complex relationships, and plot twists at every turn. All of Us Villains is a book you will not be able to put down. This book was amazing from start to finish. I loved getting to know the characters, due to the multiple points of view, and the cool magick system. I’m highly anticipating the second book!

I went into this book not expecting much, but ended up absolutely loving it. It’s like a mix of The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake, Vicious by VE Schwab, and The Hunger Games. The writing was engaging and the plot was twisty and propulsive, but it was the characters that really made the story. The book is told through multiple POVs and each character is unique and multifaceted, driven by different motives and values. The magic system and the world-building were also expertly crafted. The ending of the book was a huge cliffhanger and had me shooook
Wonderful read

4.25 stars Okay, so first of all I’m not sure where I went wrong, but I was expecting more of an incantation magic system in some sort of high fantasy world. Instead, it was more of an contemporary fantasy (new places, just modern setting) with really commercial magic. Also, I thought the only Hunger Games portion was the death competition, but it really was very similar. Honestly, the only things I didn’t like were because of my own expectations. I loved the characters, especially Gavin and Alistair, and the world was really easy to get into. It took a second to figure out some of the aspects of curse and spell creation and use, but it’s really consistent. I also liked that there were only seven contestants. I could not have handled having more names to learn. The characters were all really well-developed and complex, and I truly had no idea what would happen next or who to be rooting for. I love Amanda Foody’s books, and this was no exception. However, the Shadow Game Trilogy confused me so much, but ALL OF US VILLAINS was intricate AND understandable.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a huge fan of Amanda Foody's work, but this is the first book I've read by C. L. Herman. It did not disappoint!

4.5 stars WOW! This book was amazing! Seven families have a tournament to fight for control of high magick. While there is common magick that anyone can use, high magick is special. Hundreds of years ago these seven families decided they wanted the high magick for themselves but couldn’t agree on who should get it. They’re solution, one person from each family fighting to the death and whoever is victorious wins the high magick for their family until the next tournament. I loved that this book included chapters from the characters perspectives. We see the chapters from 4 of the 7 champions, aka the kids competing. I do wish we got to know the other 3 champions more, with their own chapters, rather than just small snippets here and there throughout the book. I also loved that each chapter is started off with quotes from the book “A Tradition of Tragedy”. This tell-all gets their bloody tournament on the map to outsiders of Ilvernath, where the book takes place. I cannot wait for the next book with an ending like that!! I received an advance review copy for free for NetGalley!
I Loved It!
