I was first introduced to Schwab's writing through her "Darker Shade of Magic" series. Her writing is and the complexity of her character development makes her novels incredibly enticing. "Vicious" follows college roomates, Victor and Eli, as they discover the sinister nature behind so called "Extraordinaries," or people with unnatural superpowers. What they discover will drive the two apart and start Victor on a long quest for vengeance. This book was a thrilling read, and I will definitely be reading the sequel. -Addy

A masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, and superpowers from the #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil.

Includes a short story set in the Villains universe, Warm up, and a teaser of the next book in the series, Vengeful.

Victor and Eli started out as college roommates--brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.

Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find--aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge--but who will be left alive at the end?

In Vicious, V. E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn't automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question.

A dynamic and original twist on what it means to be a hero and a villain. A killer from page one...highly recommended! --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Marvel Universe vs The Avengers and Patient Zero
