Summary
The epic conclusion to Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman’s New York Times bestselling All of Us Villains duology that's The Hunger Games with magic。
“I feel like I should warn you: this is going to be absolutely brutal。”
For the first time in this ancient， bloodstained story， the tournament is breaking。 The boundaries between the city of Ilvernath and the arena have fallen。 Reporters swarm the historic battlegrounds。 A dead boy now lives again。 And a new champion has entered the fray， one who seeks to break the curse for good。。。 no matter how many lives are sacrificed in the process。
As the curse teeters closer and closer to collapse， the surviving champions each face a choice: dismantle the tournament piece by piece， or fight to the death as this story was always intended。
Long-held alliances will be severed。 Hearts will break。 Lives will end。 Because a tale as wicked as this one was never destined for happily ever after。

All of Us Villains was just an amazing book so I was highly anticipating this book and was so incredibly happy to get the chance of an early review copy through Netgalley。As with most books， where you have a gap between， it took me a minute to get back into the world and to grips with all that was going on， partly as you are thrust right into things as we deal with the fallout that happened at the end of book one。It felt a bit chaotic at the early stages as so much was going on but it the events All of Us Villains was just an amazing book so I was highly anticipating this book and was so incredibly happy to get the chance of an early review copy through Netgalley。As with most books， where you have a gap between， it took me a minute to get back into the world and to grips with all that was going on， partly as you are thrust right into things as we deal with the fallout that happened at the end of book one。It felt a bit chaotic at the early stages as so much was going on but it the events in play were very high stakes so this was to be expected。 However once I got into the swing of things again， I was hooked。I'm not going to say much about the actual story as I don't want to spoil anything but this sequel definitely lived up to the high standard set by the first book。 As is the same in the first book， our group are at odds， and have been their whole life， due to the nature of the tournament。 They were raised by their families knowing it was a kill or be killed situation they were preparing for and how they acted in the tournament was a matter of family reputation。 How do you put that aside， if you even can， for the greater good？Every single character in this book is morally grey， and sometimes downright villainous， but when you are doing wrong for what could ultimately be a good reason， how wrong can it be。 How far is too far to go before you cross that point of no return。。。。I loved this series and will， at some point， go back and read them back to back as I think this will make the experience even better。Book 1 is available already and book 2 is out 01 September。 Enjoy！ 。。。more

Fresh from the recent betrayals and a clock ticking down， alliances destroyed and new ones being made， the surviving champions must now figure out who they can trust and if they can trust each other long enough to make it out alive or die trying to be the last one standing。 Alistair Lowe: Still reeling from Isobel’s betrayal and death curse， at least he has his brother back and has avenged him by killing his family。 Alistair now is prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure his brother remain Fresh from the recent betrayals and a clock ticking down， alliances destroyed and new ones being made， the surviving champions must now figure out who they can trust and if they can trust each other long enough to make it out alive or die trying to be the last one standing。 Alistair Lowe: Still reeling from Isobel’s betrayal and death curse， at least he has his brother back and has avenged him by killing his family。 Alistair now is prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure his brother remains alive by the time the game ends and if that means destroying everyone， so be it。 There’s only one small problem， Isobel’s curse has it so the more he tries to harm and curse other champions the more it will slowly consume him before it finally kills him。 He’ll have to figure a way to kill the other contestants before his curse kills him and survive them as well。 What he never expected was possibly trusting one of them again。。。 and possibly falling for them。 Alistair will have to face difficult choices: who can he trust， who can he open himself up to again， and how far of a monster is he willing to be to protect his brother even if he possibly can’t even save him？ Isobel Macaslan: After discovering the consequences of a spell her family gave her she is now official without a pulse， technically she is very much still alive but she is essentially just a husk of a person。 Isobel needs a way to fix this as well as make it out alive。 After betraying Alistair after he saved her she’s still feeling guilty， but she now finds herself in a new predicament， trapped by Reid she’ll have to find a way to expose the truth and save herself。 The question is， how manipulative and far is she willing to go to get what she wants， how many more people is she willing to betray to get what she wants？ Isobel knows one thing: she’ll do anything to make it out alive。 But when the opportunity to save all the champions and break the curse appears。。。 is she willing to place her trust in others or will she betray them all again？Gavin Grieve: The one no one expected to live that has suddenly found his magic completely messed up。 Gavin is under his own curse， a life magic curse that is a clock counting down before he dies。 The only solution to his curse。。。 would be stealing the new life given to Alistair’s brother。。。 which means trying to make an alliance with the one enemy he has always dreamed about killing， about making an alliance with the one person he can’t help but obsess over yet the more Gavin gets to know Alistair the more he begins to realize that there is a boy underneath the mask of a monster and that he might be falling for him。 Will he have it in himself to betray Alistair and his brother or is Gavin finally going to go after something he wants， to finally have something more and to finally be more。 Briony Thorburn: She was always meant to be the hero and she is willing to do anything and hurt everyone to be said hero。。。 yet when she faces the reality of her decision and the cost of all her actions Briony is going to realize that sometimes being a hero means making the ultimate sacrifice。 Can Briony break the curse and save all the champions or will it be too late and all of them are bound to die in the end？ With an even bigger plot on hand Briony will have to face even more difficult decisions and realizations and dark truths about what is really going are revealed。 Finley Blair: （ he’s alive） truthfully he didn’t really make all that much of a lasting impact in this book， he was more of a side character who was always with Briony。 Reid MacTavish: The owner of the MacTavish Cursemaker’s Shop who finds himself thrust into a predicament he never imagined。 Reid finds himself intertwined with Isobel and both of them are willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want。 When Reid’s secrets are revealed and he too finds himself intertwined in the games his goals have changed and he’ll have to find a way to make it out alive。Secrets， romance， survival， and magic all come together in the stunning conclusion to this series。 I have to say I was so happy with the Gavin and Alistair content we got， I was rooting for them the entire book and this book just gave me everything I could ask for in enemies to lovers romance。 *Thanks Tor Forge/ Tor Teen for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review* 。。。more

Loved this duology！ After how All of Us Villains ended， I was extremely eager to start the next installment。 It lived up to my expectations。 The characters really make the story。 So much development from each of them; watching their journeys unfold in the context of a fast paced， crumbling， magickal tournament made it really hard to put this book down。

I thought 'All of us Villains' was a pretty good read， but 'All of Our Demise' just blows the first book out the water。 I felt something was missing from the first book but thankfully the second， and final instalment in the battle for Ilvernath's high magick， had all what I was looking for and more。Don't read on if you haven't read 'All of us villains'！！！！！ （But you really need to go add it to your TBR now if you haven't！） With the champions split into different camps and allegiances， the final I thought 'All of us Villains' was a pretty good read， but 'All of Our Demise' just blows the first book out the water。 I felt something was missing from the first book but thankfully the second， and final instalment in the battle for Ilvernath's high magick， had all what I was looking for and more。Don't read on if you haven't read 'All of us villains'！！！！！ （But you really need to go add it to your TBR now if you haven't！） With the champions split into different camps and allegiances， the final surviving five teenagers are once again brought into a fight to the death to win the magickal prize for their family and the honour of being the champion。 Some of them still want to shatter the curse， others are still prepared to kill each other seeking out the glory of winning and some are rather unsure what the hell they're actually doing there！ The character growth in this book is phenomenal as each of them begins to discover secrets about their families and find themselves slipping deeper into being the monsters they were born to be。 However， there is a chance that they could be the champions to finally end the violent competition， but it's not just their families who don't want them to succeed in ending the tournament。 The pace of this sequel is so much better paced than the first book， and I was immediately invested in the champion's stories。 I didn't want to put it down！ I found myself rooting for all the champions， including the surprise one and desperately wanted to see them win and destroy the tournament。 I was reading far into the night to find out what their various fates would be。 There were twists and turns a plenty in this book， and， just like the characters， we really don't know who the hell we can trust till the very end！ I'm so pleased this book didn't go in the direction I thought it would after book one。。。I know some people were on the fence after 'All of us Villains'， but you MUST give this book a chance。 I absolutely loved it and really want to read the first one again now！ Thank you so much to the publishers and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in return for an honest review。 。。。more

This epic conclusion to All of Us Villains had me on the edge of my seat， biting my lip， and anxiously listening to hear how this story would end。 The character growth and development of the plot in book two were probably one of my favourite parts of this entire series。 While the plot was unique， I thought the character growth made this entire book so much better than I ever expected it to be。 I typically stray away from two book series， this series was meant to be written in two books because t This epic conclusion to All of Us Villains had me on the edge of my seat， biting my lip， and anxiously listening to hear how this story would end。 The character growth and development of the plot in book two were probably one of my favourite parts of this entire series。 While the plot was unique， I thought the character growth made this entire book so much better than I ever expected it to be。 I typically stray away from two book series， this series was meant to be written in two books because the story was so beautifully crafted and portrayed， I think these characters needed a second book to conclude their stories and the choices they made。 Allistar's character arc actually had me wondering if everything I was listening to was actually happening， because the choices and the way the plot went utterly shocked me， in the best way possible。 Now saying this， I can for certain say that all of the characters in book two grew exponentially and actually grew into who I felt they were meant to be and what they were meant to do。 “In a different story， would we still have been enemies？” “Does it matter？” As a teen reader， this is a quote I probably would have skipped over， but reading this book as a young adult， this quote was EVERYTHING。 It showed the readers how much self reflection all of the characters had throughout the book and it felt like it showcased how no matter how hard you tried to change your story， some stories are set in stone。 No matter what the characters endings were， they were perfect for the character and I couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out for all the characters in this duology。 By far this may be one of the best books I have read in a really long time。 Amanda and Christine did an absolute amazing job wrapping this story up。 It'll be one of the books I continue to think about for weeks to come！ Thank you to NetGalley and Orion Publishing Group for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

A pretty solid sequel all in all！This sequel to All Of Us Villains picks up RIGHT where the first novel left off- so much so that I had to go back to the first book to reread and make sure I knew where everything was in the plot。 I have to say- I REALLY loved all of us Villains， and so I had pretty high hopes for the sequel。 I feel like this book was not QUITE as good as AOUV but still pretty good。 3。5 rounded up to 4I'll start with the pros: first off， the premise of the story stayed just as ca A pretty solid sequel all in all！This sequel to All Of Us Villains picks up RIGHT where the first novel left off- so much so that I had to go back to the first book to reread and make sure I knew where everything was in the plot。 I have to say- I REALLY loved all of us Villains， and so I had pretty high hopes for the sequel。 I feel like this book was not QUITE as good as AOUV but still pretty good。 3。5 rounded up to 4I'll start with the pros: first off， the premise of the story stayed just as captivating as ever。 I feel like the authors put a LOT of time into the worldbuilding in their planning sessions， which means things are REALLY fleshed out in the book。 The characters continue to be their multifaceted semi-unlikeable selves which is also great。 And I really liked seeing how everything would turn out！！ Lots of violence and unlikeable things in the novel。 There was also （for some characters） a nice amount of "consequences"- minor spoiler here but don't expect all of the characters under the blood veil to come back out。What I didn't like: I really disliked how all of the characters ended up paired up by the end of the novel。 I just。。。don't see why there had to be multiple romance subplots in this？ seemed pretty superfluous except for one of the storylines which was plot relevant。 Also- some of them were kind of uncomfy pairings tbh， I also felt like this book kind of succumbed to stephen king syndrome- the authors had a great plot idea but didn't really know how to end it？ The last couple chapters where （spoiler） it felt like most of the characters got a HEA was just。。。out of place in my opinion。 I also feel like there was a REALLY drawn out lull in the middle of the book that could have been shorter， and then the ending came in like WHAM and everything finished up super fast。all in all， a pretty solid sequel， I just felt like the ending was kind of lacking。 。。。more

Now when I say I adored ‘All of us villains’， the first in this series， I really meant it！ It was a book I couldn’t get out of my head for months and was eagerly awaiting the follow up so I could continue on in the story。 It was much anticipated and wow did it meet my expectations！ I grew to love all of the characters involved in the tournament， from Briony’s unwavering determination， to Gavin who had a point to prove， Finley who is just lovely， headstrong Isobel and Alistair， a boy chased by de Now when I say I adored ‘All of us villains’， the first in this series， I really meant it！ It was a book I couldn’t get out of my head for months and was eagerly awaiting the follow up so I could continue on in the story。 It was much anticipated and wow did it meet my expectations！ I grew to love all of the characters involved in the tournament， from Briony’s unwavering determination， to Gavin who had a point to prove， Finley who is just lovely， headstrong Isobel and Alistair， a boy chased by demons。 And Reid was an unexpected and interesting element， the curse maker who seemed to be more at the forefront than anyone would have expected…。The whole tournament literally had me on the edge of my seat。 The plot barrelled along at the perfect pace， having plenty to keep you going but a lot to keep you guessing and rolling with the twists and turns。 I loved it all！ It took the reader to places I don’t think any of us were expecting but it was done masterfully。 I don’t think I’d be the only one saying so I wish （and hope） there are more books set within this world to come。 This book series worked perfectly as a duology but I think there is so much more potential for more to be set within this world as it’s just a fantastically created book-verse。 More please！All in all I was left very happy with its conclusion and could have kept reading forever。 What a brilliant series！Thank you to the authors and publisher for this book on NetGalley in return for my honest thoughts and review。 。。。more

In the final book of the duology， the champions continue to look for a way to bring the entire tournament down。 For their sakes and the future generations。 There’s back stabbing， double crossing， doubt， trust and the overall theme of questioning what makes a person a villain versus a victim。
