This sounds like a mix of Battle Royale, with a dash of Heist Society and Gallagher Girls. 

Not sure I could make it at Mandel academy, I think I would prefer dealing with books and normal study sessions. xD

At first glance the idea appeared slightly cheesy/corny but yet fat from boring and well actually unusual/fresh, which is why I would like to read it more than many other YA-novels with a worn-out subject.

Are you kidding, Mandel Academy or work at office? I'll have to go with Mandel Academy. 

This is one of those books I really wanted on Netgalley and was very sad to be rejected for. Sounds so good. 

I would love to attend Mandel Academy. 

love the premise but hope i'd never find myself having to attend.

Oh I'd love to attend a  school like that. It'll teach me a lot more productive and interesting things than what I learn in my school now so I definitely want to go to this school. 

Thanks for the great giveaway!

I am loving the outline of this book and am really looking forward to reading it! :D

I would love to attent that school but I am not ruthless at all. 

I wouldn't survive a day there, but it's a pretty awesome premise!

Oh, yes. I'm as ruthless as they come. ;)

I would never get it. Too much of  a goody two shoes. But I really like the sound it it!

it look nice the premise .... mmm  mmm i don't think that i could live like that 

what an original story! i HAVE to get my hands on this!!

I love the sound of this book! I like how it's centered on a life of crime :) But I don't know if I'd attend myself b/c I wouldn't be any good...

  Suuure. That would be really cool. You know, I've always wanted an adventure like that, something that's not what teenagers normally do. It would be really fun!

Nooooo! I won't survive in a school like that. I can't do what they are doing there.

Oh, Steph, your rec alone would be enough, but the blurb of this sounds GOOOOD.

I think I'd be an outcast... I'd probably fail in a school like that. It sounds really cool though. Just not for me. 

I don't think I'd survive a day there. LOL!

I could do it.  I'm not afraid to shank a beyotch.

Nooo I definitely could not! haha, but I would love to read about the people who do! Thanks for the giveaway!

I think the premise is FASCINATING, but no, I wouldn't fit in well. I'm too much of a straight arrow goodie two-shoes.

I probably wouldn't fit in, unless it was as some kind of civil disobedience scholar. My husband, however...well, if I win, I have a feeling he'll love this book.

I really want to read this book! It sounds so exciting, and Steph's made it sound so funny on Goodreads.

id fit in just fine. just. fine >:)

I don't know if I'd fit in at Mandel Academy, but I'd love to try :) I like the premise of this book, it sounds exciting and dangerous.

Exciting for a book, but I'm not sure I would be able to live in such enviroment.

This sounds very fun!

I fell in love with the idea of this book the second I read the blurb. I can't wait to read it! :)

Well, this is certainly an interesting concept for a book. I like it. . . I think, lol. I don't think I would want to attend such a school being that I am not a criminal (nor do I wish to be one) but I'd love to read the book instead.

I really like the idea of this story SO MUCH. I can definitely see myself reading this, but besides the premise, the title and the cover with its colors really attracted me to this book. And now I must read it!

The plot of this book sound so interesting! such an unique idea! and hmmm it depends, If I really really wanted to I probably would(:

I think I could attend Mandel -- I can be cutthroat ambitious when I want to be (not a great trait =/).  But I might not make it physically.  Love the premise!

No Im too chicken to lead a life of crime so attending a school to 'train' to be one wouldnt happen. I love to live vicariously through others though, so I'll just read about it!

I love the premise. Unfortunately, I think I'd be offed by my classmates within a week were I to attend the Mandel Academy. I'm not ruthless at all.

Wow, to be bad for once in your life...yeah, I'd go!

I've been waiting for this book since I read about it months ago! I'm so excited.

I love the idea of a school that trains criminals! And I would like to think I could possibly fit in there! Thanks for the giveaway:)

This does sound incredibly original. I've heard great things about this author in general too, and her Kiki Strike series. This one sounds like tons of fun though!
