Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an ALC of this book.

In this sequel to All of Us Villains, the teens still standing work against each other as one group continues to try and win the trial, and the other group wants to end it all for good.  Meanwhile, the blood veil has fallen and the rest of the city is eager to get their hands on the competitors.

I really enjoyed this! Oh my gosh Alistair is definitely my favorite character---no one is surprised. I'm trying not to give anything away for those who didn't read the first book yet, but this duology is dark and bloody and hopeful and gay. Which is like, everything I want in a book.  

I really love the competition elements and how all of the kids end up dividing and coming together at different times. I like the struggle of wanting to win, wanting to stop the competition, and overall just wanting to survive.  I really enjoyed it!
