Middle-grade readers fans of The School of Good and Evil and Crookhaven will love becoming part of a VILLAINOUS crew with H.I.V.E, where villains get to develop their talents into criminal mastermind...
H.I.V.E stands for Higher Institute of Villainous Education, and at this school -- you guessed it -- the villains are in control. Up until now, the school has functioned perfectly with one rule: all its students must remain enrolled for six years and cannot leave until their course has ended. But when Otto Malpense and Wing Fanchu are enrolled as new students, things are quickly about to change, as they unravel some of the institute's complicated history and politics...
Over the course of nine books, Otto and Wing will have to work together, risking serious injury, captivity and even murder... As they learn how to control their special talents, and develop a friendship that will last a lifetime, they will discover more and more about the world they've unknowingly entered, and will find out that their school is much more than a simple institution for crooks. The life of crime has it's consequences...and not before long they will have to face them too.
Mark Walden has created a high-tech, high-octane world where scheming, extorting, menacing and general evilness are only to be expected... He is also the author of Earth Fall, which dystopian readers will love!

I think it's a great book recommend it highly but the cliffhanger at the end is madness and I'm sad it may be the last book and hope there is gonna be...
I didn't think that I would like this book but I really did! The characters, Otto in particular , are witty and funny. The unexpected twists make it...
I liked the crazy, fun and shocking things that happened in H.I.V.E rouge.
a lot of things go wrong but things get better in the end
Otto Malpense ...
