Friends, All Hallows Read is just the most fun. Giving a book instead of candy?! This is my DREAM! Although, let’s be real, I love candy. But I probably love books more, and I’m always looking for reasons to give them as gifts, so this is perfect. In honor of this most wonderful event, Brittany, Alyssa, and I did a little Halloween book gifting so that we could all participate and have fun, and I’m so excited to be reviewing WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE by Shirley Jackson, gifted to me by the lovely Alyssa. I’m going to be reading Brittany’s gifts (YES OMG she gave us two books) and reviewing them SOON. I’m still actually reading them. But! There is a book to review today! Let’s get to it.

A meth dealer. A prostitute. A serial killer.
Anywhere else, they’d be vermin. At the Mandel Academy, they’re called prodigies. The most exclusive school in New York City has been training young criminals for over a century. Only the most ruthless students are allowed to graduate. The rest disappear.
Flick, a teenage pickpocket, has risen to the top of his class. But then Mandel recruits a fierce new competitor who also happens to be Flick’s old flame. They’ve been told only one of them will make it out of the Mandel Academy. Will they find a way to save each other—or will the school destroy them both?
