This one blew me out of the fucking water, dude. From the first page and Marcella’s death to the very end! I fell in love with Victor, which I didn’t like him before. I felt sorry for Eli which I honestly didn’t expect to. I enjoyed June A LOT but I feel her character didn’t have enough background! I need more. I need more. I need more. I love Sydney and Mitch. I love that Sydney and Victor have a specific special relationship. This book really brought the thunder. I was hoping the whole time for an enemies to lovers thing with Victor and Eli but of course, no. They were so in love with each other and they just had bitter ex energy the whole time. I love the way they thought about each other, even if it was in a very fucked up way.

Eagerly waiting for the next book.

 4.5 rounded up! I'm so glad that Victorious is coming, that ending sure is a hanger.

I really liked this book. It was a great continuation of vicious and added a lot more interesting aspects.

The story was beautifully crafted. It created lot’s of loose threads, sending you into different times and to different characters. Slowly the story comes together. It should be complicated. It should have confused me. But somehow the complexities of the story were threaded together so elegantly, it barely was any effort. 
I like how at first you don’t even know what the plot of the book will be and it’s just about creating the story for these characters. 

Loved June as an addition to the story. However, I wasn’t a fan of Marcella. I didn’t like reading from her perspective and had to drag myself through those bits. She just falls flat in contrast to the other amazing characters. 

I wished for more Eli and Victor together. I know logically, that would’ve been really difficult to do. But those two together are so much fun to read. 

Overall a really great book. Beautifully written, wonderful characters and interesting story.

This story is so brutal but so genius at the same time. It kept me reading just because I wanted to know who was in the right and who would cooperate or not. I think Vengeful was even better than Vicious. The characters became much more three-dimentional which I liked a lot. And the ending was just something else. Just read it. 
10/10 would recommend.

This book was perfect from start to end! It kept me constantly on the edge of my seat and was such a great follow up to the first book. Can’t recommend highly enough
