A superpowered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful intentions--V.E. Schwab returns with the thrilling follow-up to Vicious.
MAGNETO and PROFESSOR X SUPERMAN and LEX LUTHOR SYDNEY and SERENA CLARKE VICTOR VALE and ELI EVER
Great partnerships, now soured on the vine.
But Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death, she's finally gained the control she's always sought--and will use her newfound power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She'll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other once more.
With Marcella's rise, new enmities create opportunity--and the stage of Merit will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning.
This description comes from the publisher. Vengeful is the sequel to Vicious.
Really enjoyed this. Was not remotely predictable, I technically got everything I wanted out of it, and the ending is an ending, but there's wiggle room too. There could be a sequel, but it doesn't necessarily NEED one. That being said... I NEED A SEQUEL!
A quick, fun read. Liked it marginally better than Vicious because it moves beyond Eli and Victor, but the development of the new characters gets a little muddy. And the climax could've been much more.
I still like the series and the universe Schwab has built.
