Oh, wait, are we talking about the same book? There's a YA novel just called 'Hellions' about a group of teen vigilantes, and that's the one I read. The main trio is Lex (the strategist, always angry), Chase (the charmer who can talk their way out of anything), and Kit (the tech genius who actually builds all their gear). They're basically trying to take down a corrupt school board, which sounds silly but gets pretty intense.
What's interesting is that the 'key' character might actually be Ms. Groves, their history teacher. She's not in the gang, but she knows exactly what they're up to and subtly enables them, feeding them information. The book plays with who's really pulling the strings. I liked that it wasn't just about the kids being brilliant; they're messy and their plans backfire spectacularly.
That title always throws me because there's the original novel 'Hellions' by William J. Mann and then this newer fantasy series everyone talks about now—I assume you mean the fantasy one, maybe 'The Hellions' by H. Mel Malton? I'm going with that because it's the one I see in online groups lately. The core is this gang of misfit kids in a weird, almost post-apocalyptic town. Ziggy's the unofficial leader, all raw nerve and bad ideas, but you stick with him. Then there's Paisley, who's got more sense than the rest combined and tries to keep them from literally setting everything on fire. Cricket's the quiet one who notices things, and Bork is just this massive, gentle kid who somehow gets dragged into every scheme.
Honestly, I sometimes mixed up Cricket and Paisley's roles on my first skim—the dynamics are clearer once you see how their plans fall apart. The antagonist isn't really a person so much as the whole dying town and the strange 'Glimmers' that appear at the edge of the woods. The characters work because they feel like real, grubby kids making terrible, believable choices, not like a polished adventuring party.
Ziggy, Paisley, Cricket, Bork. The hellions. The adults around them are mostly obstacles or background noise. Ziggy's older brother, who's checked out, matters because his absence defines Ziggy's desperation. The magic system—if you can call it that—is character itself; the strange events in the town seem to react to their collective bad decisions. It’s less about individual power and more about the chaos they generate together.

If you’re filthy minded, step inside the doors of Dirty Angels and order a drink.
Dirty Angels is a cocktail bar where desire, power, and bad decisions collide. Everyone who walks through its doors is hiding something, and everyone wants something they shouldn’t.
The story unfolds through rotating points of view, each character given five chapters at a time to reveal the dirty business they’re involved in. Mafia deals. Billionaire secrets. Bad boys with dangerous appetites. Obsessions that refuse to stay buried. Each arc can be read on its own, but together they weave into a larger, darker story as the full truth behind Dirty Angels slowly comes into focus.
At the centre are Marisol and Ethan, locked in a volatile enemies-to-lovers dynamic neither of them is willing to name. Around them orbit lovers, rivals, and predators: a mafia ex who won’t let go, a billionaire with too much power, a shark lawyer who knows exactly where the bodies are buried, and a found family bound together by loyalty, desire, and shared secrets.
Dirty Angels attracts those who crave the forbidden. Boundaries blur. Power shifts hands. Desire takes many forms, and not everyone is looking for love.
Some will find it anyway.
Others will burn everything down on the way.

“I will not let you take me alive” was the last thing she said before it all went dark.
Watching both her parents murdered and their kingdom torn to ruins, it seems Leiya's life cannot get any worse, but it does. She is forcefully torn away from her sister and sent as a gift to appease Helion, ruler of the Kaltain Kingdom, the most powerful demon to ever exist, the "Prince of Hell", but Leiya is determined to keep her fathers dying wish. She will find her sister, Nayla at all cost, and not even Helion can stand in her way.
Hell Hounds' core cast is a wild mix of personalities that stick with you long after you finish reading. Take Kazuya, the hotheaded leader—he’s got this reckless energy that makes every fight scene explosive, but there’s depth to him too, especially when his past with the yakuza comes crashing back. Then there’s Rin, the quiet strategist; her scenes analyzing supernatural threats feel like watching a chess master at work.
The dynamics between them and the rest of the squad—like Goro, the ex-cop with a dark sense of humor, and Aya, the hacker who’s way too invested in conspiracy theories—create this perfect balance of tension and camaraderie. What I love is how their backstories aren’t just dumped on you; they unfold naturally through side missions in the manga, making the lore feel alive.
Man, I had to really rack my brain for this one because honestly, 'Hellions' is such a generic title. I think you might be talking about the YA fantasy 'Hellions' by Kate Harper? The one with the girl, Zara, who gets pulled into a magical boarding school for kids with demon ancestry.
If that's the one, the main plot is basically her navigating this dangerous, elitist school while trying to hide her own power level, which is way higher than anyone suspects. There's a whole mystery around missing students and a secret society within the school. It's got that whole 'hidden heir' vibe, lots of academy politics, and a slow-burn enemies-to-more-thing with the broody guy from a rival faction.
I read it a while back and the details are fuzzy, but I remember the climax being a tournament where all her secrets come out. It was fun but kind of predictable.
