Vicious is an apt title indeed! This is a dark tale of two college buddies who set out to prove how a superhero is made but they don't anticipate the tragedy that comes of their experimentations. What follows is a story of vengeance. In my opinion, this books peeks at brilliance but never quite make...
~~~~2.75 Stars~~~~ Vicious, oh vicious, how incredibly middle of the road you were. I wanted to LOVE this book, as SO many of the reviewers had, but I just couldn't seem to get into the flow. Speaking of which, the flow was disjointed and haphazardly hopscotched back and forth between the past and...
Goodreads summary: 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 intri...
If my memory serves me correctly, this was a book recced by horror/sci-fi/fantasy author Chuck Wendig. I already had the author's A Darker Shade of Magic on my 'to buy when the price goes down' list so when Chuck recced this and indicated that it was on sale for $1.99 (I think it was), I trotted of...
I've heard this book described as supervillian versus supervillain, which isn't entirely inaccurate, but there's so much more going on within these pages. While the plot revolves in part around individuals with superpowers the heart of the tale is revenge. The story jumps back and forth between the ...
This book is insane. It takes almost everything that I love about fiction and crams it into 400 pages. It’s not a happy book, but I was so happy while reading it. In Vicious, college roommates—Victor and Eli—discover how to turn regular humans into comic-book-style superheroes. Unfortunately, thei...
**SPOILERS** A pleasant surprise, it was much better than I thought it would. It left me wanting for more, like I wanted more EO, more variety of powers, but besides that, I liked it, that it was dark-ish, that it has plenty of action, that both of the MC were kind of villains.It has a mix of fami...
This is hard book to explain without giving anything away. It felt like a superhero, Heroes, Xmen, type story. There are zealots, manipulators, liars, and iffy good guys. Normal humans would undergo a drastic change which would alter them into supernatural beings with powers. It had me glued to the ...
If you are into fantasy, comic books, complicated heroes and just plan dark fun...then this book is for you. It is dark, and every character is a mess and not good by any standard, but you love them anyway. Basically this book is about the breakup of relationship of two sociopaths. Neither Eli nor...
Wow. Schwab takes all of the elements of superhero stories and turns it on its side.Also Schweb did an amazing job building a world that will continue to live inside me. She did an amazing job of creating her characters. They feel real. They have flaws and are driven by their desires, not because of...
