![]() ![]() Anyways, during their senior year, Victor and Eli find out a way to gain supernatural abilities via near-death experiences. But mostly high functioning sociopaths, those two. They are both a tad bit sociopathic, and occasionally have good senses of humor. Eli is brilliant, lonely and good at masking it-he enjoys nothing more than going to a party, before an evening of quiet brooding. Victor is brilliant, lonely and cynical-he enjoys nothing more than an evening of quiet brooding. Their names are Victor Vale and Eli Cardale, and they are roommates in college together. ![]() Vicious, as the name entails, is about people who maybe aren’t the nicest to one another. Such is the case with V.E.Schwab’s Vicious. But the good news is that when I like a book, and find one that bridges the gap between too gritty and too sweet- well, let’s just say I really like the book. There is no middle ground- I’m like the literary equivalent of a picky eater. Eleven times out of ten, if someone recommends YA to me, I’ll discreetly wrinkle my nose and offer a polite but firm “no thanks.” Either a book is too hard and gritty for my tastes, or it’s sickeningly sweet. But as a choosy (read: ridiculously selective) reader, it’s often difficult for me to find one that feels right. It is a truth universally acknowledged that books are pretty great. Superpowers, murder and mayhem abound in this series opener ![]()
