Superpowers, revenge, and moral complexities entwine.
"Vicious" strikes a fascinating balance between comic-book-style action and a deep dive into the grey areas of morality. If you're drawn to stories that blur the line between hero and villain, where characters with supernatural abilities navigate through personal vendettas and existential questions, this book hits that sweet spot. V. E. Schwab's crisp and engaging writing style will keep you hooked as you explore the intriguing dynamic between Victor and Eli – it's a book that redefines what it means to be 'extraordinary.'

Description
ACE #1 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?
