Vicious lives up to its name and tells a story of vicious boys who grow up to be vicious men. It shows two bright college students becoming curious in superpowers and the process to develop them, and then turning into lunatics who won’t stop to kill each other. This revenge story was pretty dark but the writing and likable side characters relieved the tension when it was needed and kept things from getting too heavy. It definitely felt like it’s just the beginning of a story, like the first season of a tv show, but the momentum never stopped and stayed full blast until the last pages.

The time jumps were confusing at first (and as soon as I got used to them, they stopped) and there were some character traits that I'm not sure I liked... but a VERY good book overall. I'm absolutely excited for the sequel!
