Vicious

Author: V.E. Schwab

In a world where extraordinary abilities are born from near-death experiences, two brilliant college roommates become bitter rivals. Victor and Eli’s dangerous experiment spirals into a decade-long vendetta, blurring the lines between hero and villain. Schwab’s dark and thrilling tale explores the complexities of power, ambition, and morality, leaving readers questioning their own definitions of good and evil. I couldn’t put it down, finding myself captivated by the intricate plot and morally ambiguous characters. A must-read for anyone craving a fresh take on the superhero genre.

Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.
