Vicious - Das Böse in uns by V.E. Schwab

krobus's review against another edition

5.0

I'm a huge fan of The Boys, so seeing another "real life superhero" concept, I knew I had to give it a read. I wasn't hooked right away, but it didn't take long to get me interested. Third person was an excellent choice for this book!

The ending had me in an absolute TIZZY!!

5.0

[Dark, revenge plot, murder, murderer versus murder, flashbacks, moral ambiguity, religious zealotry, dark academia elements, suspense]

Mitch puts it best, “there are no good men in this game.” However, of the bad men, Victor Vale and Mitch are hands down the best! Mitch for his loyalty and for chocolate milk being an important part of his personality. Victor for being absolutely obsessive, dark, and evil but also self aware and loyal to his own band of misfits. More than worth the read, this book is worth your obsession. Good luck not getting stuck in.
