Title: H.I.V.E. - Mark Walden
Media: A series of 9 books (all 300-400 pages)
Summary: The series focuses around the titular Higher Institute of Villainous Education (evil boarding school) and four students making their way through it
Content warnings: violence, murder, a posession plot
Why you like it: It's equal parts a loving send-up of the spy genre and those tropes played straight. There is a Little Shop of Horrors Monster, robot ninjas, and also an evil AI that becomes the major series antagonist. The core four characters have different skillsets and use them to great effect, and they're each compelling in their own way.
I also find the mechanics of supervillainy (in a world without apparent superheroes) incredibly interesting, as is the backstory of the school (which gets doled out very slowly through the books).
