Fun fun fun! Got kind of bored in the beginning of the second half, but I think it’s more on me and my disastrous attention span than the book’s fault. Vicious is action upon action mixed with dark characters and complicated relationships + a very nice found family that I don’t think enough people talk about. Liked it a lot. 
(I did think the ending was a bit rushed though, would’ve liked a longer scene between Eli and Victor since well… the entire book kind of builds up to it)

I was not ready for this book to be sooooo good
Best book of the month if not year I've had such a great time with it, I physically had to stop myself from eating this book.
Im now No1 Victor vale apologist 🫡 Victor is such a father figure😭🤲 (Sydney can contact me if she needs a mommy😞💓)
Can't wait to read Vengefu but also kinda scared, what if it ruins Vicious for me😭 Vicious will always have a special place in my heart. I feel like this is the best book written by V.E Schwab. Absolutely adore this book

This is the second time that I’ve had a chance to read this, and I loved it just as much as the first. 

I absolutely loved the storytelling in this book and the cast of characters that Victoria has created are absolutely fantastic. Especially since you go into this story, not quite understand who will end up the hero and who will end up the villain, even up until the very end. I absolutely adored the main cast of characters, including our somewhat sociopathic anti-hero Victor, but especially Mitch and Sydney. And who doesn’t love a dutiful pet sidekick
especially when you know they aren’t going to die, since Victoria has made that very clear in every interview she’s ever given


If you are looking for a morally gray story, with a strong cast of characters, and a unique yet logical magic power system, then I highly recommend giving this a try!
