3.5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of All The Devils!

This book has such a cool concept! I really like the mixture of mythology and magic, alongside the dark academia setting. I think the Underworld setting was well-written, and an interesting take on the underworld as a place (I feel like I've read a few books recently with visits to the underworld!). The mixture of different mythologies is great in this!

I do feel there are a few things missing from the book though. It's being advertised as a dark academia but I found the academia aspect a bit lacking; there was only one lesson scene I think, and not much of the story takes place at the school. Also, I didn't find the main character very likeable, I struggled with the book being from her POV as she seemed a bit one-dimensional/lacking in personality somewhat.

Overall a fun and quick read! It's set up for a sequel but not sure I will come back to read it.

I was super excited to read this by the premise and it didn’t disappoint. I’m a huge fan of books containing gothic, horror, and dark academia elements and this was the perfect blend of them all. The author crafted an eerie atmosphere and the writing was stunning. Overall, I loved this, and I’m looking toward to reading more by the author in the future

Okay, wow, this book gripped me from the first sentence and I was hooked all the way along! If you like:

Dark Academia
Ninth House
Wednesday
With a side of Belladonna

Then you'll probably love this too!

The author did a fantastic job at delivering well-rounded characters with flaws and struggles of their own. I loved Andy/Andromeda (adored the name) and her quest to prove that her sister isn't dead and how she gets wrapped up in secret societies within the dark, foreboding Ravenswood Academy - an elite school for society's most wealthy. The imagery was amazing and I felt like I was right there along beside Andy witnessing all the horrors that dealing with Occult had to offer.

I especially enjoyed Jae's character and how well the author did at hiding his true identity - you know it's a good book when you are second guessing all your theories right up until the plot twists!

For me I think I would've wanted a little bit more detail about the reasons why the secret society were intent on their actions, just saying they were promised greatness fell a little short for me when these students have more money than they know what's good for them. Additionally, the first half took a while to get going but by about the 60% mark I sped through and couldn't get enough.

I enjoyed how it didn't have a 'happily ever after' ending and it leaves the door open for future books, I'm especially excited to continue reading about Andy and Jae's relationship and how they deal with the 'distance' (hence why this gave me Belladonna vibes, iykyk)!

All in all, it was a really great delve in YA Dark Academia and I loved it.

4-4.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin, Steve Jones and Catelyn Wilson for this ARC!

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this ARC

- Dark academia
- Fantasy

Andy goes to an elite boarding school and needs to figure out the mystery of what happened to her sister where she finds magic.
I got witchy AGGGTM vibes from this book and devoured it!

I think the book is between medium & fast paced - Worldbuilding is easy to follow, characters are loveable!

Really enjoyed this read 4 stars from me :)

The description of All The Devils as a ‘dark academia meets horror in this YA fantasy series’, immediately drew me in and I was not at all disappointed.
This book lived up to its description from the very first page. I am always looking for a dark-academia book and this had the perfect blend of the occult, mystery, magic, and elite, private-school rivalry!
I found myself reading it quite fast as the story itself is fast-paced. There wasn’t a moment that felt as though it lingered or prompted any sense of boredom. While the reader is given A LOT of information at the beginning and it can feel overwhelming, I believe it works well to show how overwhelming it feels for the protagonist too! She runs into an environment that she is uncomfortable in while trying to decipher information and clues that often feel impossible, all so she can find out what happened to her sister.

I really, really enjoyed this! Thank you to NetGalley / Penguin & the author for allowing me to read this special ARC!

This book is really fast paced at the beginning and straight from the get go we’re plunged into drama.

I loved the vibes of this book. It has everything I look for in terms of dark academia and magic.

I think this book is especially good for those who enjoyed Atlas Six or Ninth House. It reminds me a lot of what the river knows too.

Only issue I found was the last 1/3 going between very fast paces and slower

Excited to see what the author brings out next!

Thank you Netgalley and Steve Jones for the ARC!

There I was, scrolling through the lists of books, the description of All the Devils is what grabbed my attention. Dark Academia. Gods and Goddesses. Ancient Egyptian Deities. Yep. I would like to read this. 😊

The book is mainly about a girl who refuses to accept that her sister is dead and embarks upon a journey not only to find and rescue her sister but also one of self-discovery.  Literally.
She attends a prestigious school and encounters challenges, magic, the occult;  danger and an attraction to someone who isn't all he seems.

I must admit, I wasn't sure at first as I found the writing early on in the book lacked oomph, but the storyline did lure me in, and I found myself  focussed and wanting to read more.

The book has:

Demons
Deities
The Underworld
Guardians of the Dead
Monsters
Magic
The Occult

I am looking forward to the second book in this duology, mainly because I want to know what happens with Andy and Jae!

It's Dark Academia, Secret Societies, and a bit of magic/mythology all rolled up into one.

I'll be honest, this book is incredibly fast paced. And by fast paced I mean we get dropped right into the middle of the action right from the first chapter. I was initially drawn to this book as it seemed like a really unique spin on dark magic and dark academia, both genres I'm quote fond of.

The author did a phenomenal job at world building. This was honestly my favorite part of the book. Above all else you could really feel like you were part of the book. The way the author described the sensory feelings of the settings you could get a full image of what exactly was happening in the book. From the descriptions of the woods surrounding the school, to the icy waters of the cove, and the eery dread of the underworld you really felt engrossed in the world.

I think the author did a fantastic job of creating complex characters with individual motives even if they were trying to reach the same end goal. For example, with Jae's character you could tell he was haunted by his past, but the author did an amazing job at hiding his real identity until the very end. Or Violet's character who, for most of the book we see her soley from her sister's perspective, but then we meet her and realize how tortured she's been for months grappling with the weight of her illness and resisting (or not resisiting) the temptations of ultimate power.

For me, where this book lost me was in the pacing and in the worldbuilding (which is something I did compliment earlier in my review). The first 2/3 of the book was both fast and slow at the same time. We really jumped right in with Andy investigating what happened with her sister, finding out about this secret society and all of this magic, and trying to understand all of the rules at the same time. There were many moments where I simply felt overwhelmed. There was so much informtion and revelations being thrown at me that I didn't have time to really digest any of them.

However, the last third of the book really redeemed itself for me. There were several plot twists that I was genuinely surprised by. I think the author did a great job of giving us just enough information to make us believe one thing or think a certain way about a character and then completely shift it. The twists and turns of the ending scenes left a satifying conclusion to the story while still allowing the readers to want for more.

All in all I genuinely enjoyed this book. I'm very grateful to NetGalley and Catelyn Wilson for the ARC.

Mention dark academia and you have me hooked. This YA has it all - secret societies, mystery, magic, demons and much more. It's fast pace with beautiful and in-depth world building that gets you hooked from the start. It's eerie, mysterious with an undertone of threat and intrigue and boy did I love it.

Thank you NetGalley and Michael Joseph for this ARC!!!


Wow, wow, wowwwww!!! I did not expect how this book was going to play out, I couldn’t put the book down.

Andromeda - Andy - knows there is something suspicious about the death of her sister, Andy knows that the body she saw in the casket is in fact not her sister and Violet is still alive and out there, somewhere… and she won’t stop until she uncovers the truth.

Andy soon arrives at same elite school that Violent went to, not long after she arrives at Ravenswood she wakes up to moths (No thanks!) in her bed and even being chased in the woods however none of this deters her from finding out what had happened to Violet, Andy soon discovers that her sister and her sisters friends was part of a secret society and its all unravelling…

Andy is quite literally thrown into a world full of mystery and secrets, demons and deaths being faked, societies, travelling to another realm and a dash of romance.

I loved Andy’s character development, and seeing her stepping out of her sister’s shadow, the nickname her sister gave her is for sure fitting.

Violet was not how I was expecting her to be and I was a little disappointed but it is understandable why she went down the path she went down.

I found Jae’s storyline was intriguing, I loved the mysteriousness about him and why does he know so much? I loved uncovering his storyline and finding out more about him, I think that was the most interesting for me.


I loved the world building and Catelyn is an excellent writer and has certainty done her research for this story, I wasn’t actually expecting to enjoy this as much as I did.

All the Devils, could be a standalone and left to the reader to decide what happens next but I’m hoping ( praying ) there is a sequel with how the book ended! would love to see more between Andy and Jae.

All the Devils by Catelyn Wilson

4⭐️

💫YA dark academia
💫 horror elements
💫 demons/gods
💫 murder mystery
💫 hidden identities

The storyline was very interesting and I liked that it was fast paced. However, it did come across a bit rushed in some places and some parts could’ve been explained more e.g the potions and the magic system.
About the world building: I feel like I didn’t really learn a lot about the world they lived in and the school they went to. On the other hand, the Underworld was described really well and the demons and the gods were interesting.
Andy's character fell a little flat for me, I didn't really feel a connection to her. I didn't learn enough about her personality and her life to get to love her, she relied too much on other people, but it got a little better towards the end of the story.
Jae's character, however, was amazing. His personality and background was very interesting. I think it would've been great to see his POV in certain chapters.
I also liked how Violet's character was written in this book, it was easy to understand her motivation even when she was in the wrong.

The ending feels like a sequel could be possible - some things were left open-ended.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I'll definitely recommend it on my social media platforms.

I really liked this book. The dark academia vibe is a particular love of mine, and all the mystery and magic grows with the world building. Andy felt a little one dimensional but I loved Jae. The ending fell a little flat but hopefully there will be a sequel to pick it up.

Wow. This book was just a dream to read! Within it, we are whisked up into Andy's world - where she fights for justice following her sister Violet's untimely demise.

This book is packed with magic, gods, demons, the afterlife, and all hidden within the shadowy setting of an elite school where all is not what it seems.

I immediately fell in love with Andromeda's - or Andy's - character, as she prefers to be called. This 'little star' grows so much throughout the book, and blossoms into the unsuspecting down-to-earth heroine we all need in our lives. I was rooting for her from the get go. I also loved her bonds with Jae and Munia in particular.

One character I didn't warm to was Violet. I found her to be very ungrateful and self-absorbed. More so like she was an unintentional villain rather than a character to be empathised with.

I loved some of the visualisations and descriptions of the Pastor and some of the alumni at the school. There was just enough character description and building to not delay the flow of the story.

Moving onto the flow of the story. I felt it was perfectly paced. Just the right amount of world building to not distract from the plot.

I really hope we'll be seeing more of Andy and Jae in the form of a sequel! Really excited to see more of what's to come from Catelyn Wilson!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC so early before it's release! It was an absolute pleasure.

The storyline for this was super interesting - a girl believes her supposed dead sister is alive, set in a creepy victorian academy mansion in the middle of nowhere? AMAZING. However, its execution was not so great. I got around 25% in and I just didn't mix with the writing style well. There were fullstops after every 5-10 words, so nothing felt as if it flowed. And the main character jumped to a LOT of conclusions that as the reader was just not believable or realistic. This would be great as a YA/ Teen thriller.

This was a gripping read and I was intrigued by the characters. I will look out for more by this author.

Filled with dark academia, horror, monsters and magic, All the Devils is a wonderful quick-paced novel with twists and turns throughout.

The world-building is minimal, which works to the book's advantage, and allows the reader to fly through the pages. The settings are beautifully and hauntingly written though so it was very easy to picture the places described.

Our main character, Andi, is prickly and standoffish at first but she warms up throughout the book as she gets closer to discovering the mystery surrounding her sister's death. Jae and Munia are wonderfully written characters as well and I loved the twists and turns that this book was constantly throwing out.

The author tied up this book quite nicely but left it open enough for a sequel so I am looking forward to more from this world.

|Thank you for my e-arc via Netgalley|

This unfortunately didn’t work for me, I really enjoyed it up until around 40% when it began to drag.

It started off in the action instantly, without much background or world building. Initially, this was exciting and I was a bit relieved to get stuck in to the mystery, but ultimately failed to stay engaged with it because the plot and characters felt shallow and didn’t gain any depth as the plot went on. The plot also had a lot of twist and turns without the set up to make them feel impactful.

The premise was really promising and I think if there were less whiney characters and more beautiful prose that matches the dark academia setting; I’d have loved it.

I think this would work for you if you are a fan of Belladonna, Kingdom of The Wicked & Inheritance Games - and want something in the YA genre.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced Readers Copy for my honest review.

All the Devils had me hooked from the 1st chapter.
I don't normally read dark academia but after reading the description I was extremely taken by the mystery and was glad to of been accepted to read it.

The mystery, magic and secrets had me gripped to every chapter and couldn't wait for more. This book made me miss a few bedtimes with the build ups, cliff hangers and amazing writing skills.

I highly recommend this book to anyone.

All The Devils is a thrilling horror-mystery story with dark academia. You'll follow Andy's investigation into her sister's disappearance which leads her to Ravenswood Academy, a place where secret societies and ancient magic are the norm. Ideal for anyone who loves a story where the setting is as spooky as the plot.

I loved the idea of this book and I found it hooked me very early on.
I really enjoyed the dark acedamia/witchy vibes with the magic, secret society and demonic elements.

Overall it ended up falling a little flat for me which was a shame after such a promising start, I think the heroine lacked depth but the storyline was very interesting.

I feel like there are a lot of people who will love this, so overall I rated it 3.75 stars.

Thank you so much Netgalley for this arc <3
