4.5. Not quite as good as the first. Timeline was a little harder to follow in the first 1/2 or so.
Jesus christ i love this book. i cant seem to get enough of the villains series and the characters in it. this was a rollercoaster and i adored it. whilst still reading the first book, i already ordered the second, and i am so glad that this was JUST AS GOOD as the first one, if not better (but idk bc i loved both so much). the characters are EXTRAORDINARY ;). in the first book, i really enjoyed all characters, especially loving victor vale bc duh. but i wasn’t that fond of eli because he was trying to kill my man. of course i still liked his character because it was complex and had a lot of layers, and a backstory that we got to see in this book WHICH WAS SO ADDICTIVE AND I LOVEEEEED, but he wasn’t my favorite. HOWEVER. In this book, after receiving his backstory, and more of his thoughts and opinions, i couldn’t help but love him. and well, when he died, it felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. BUT - i did think that victor was dying in this book, when him and eli were fighting (canr believe i underestimated vic and syd), so eli instead of victor was somewhat of a mercy to my heart. victor was obviously victor and therefore obviously AMAZING, and stole the show and my heart, as predicted. this was just phenomenal. the women in this book were also amazing, and some of marcella’s quotes had me SCREAMING AT THE EMPOWERMENT!!! I cannot wait for the next book, this is definitely in my all time top favorites, along w vicious. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.

Ok, I loved this one a lot more than book one. Something just clicked for me majorly. The pacing was nice and quick, I felt the characters were a lot stronger and more of a focus point and the book was just generally gritty and tense all throughout.
Sydney is still my favourite character, I loved seeing her moral struggle here, we got to see a lot of her emotions play out in ways that I wasn’t expecting and although at times I was worried about her, questioning her actions, I still understood everything she was doing. The push pull between loyalty was really interesting to explore.
The world expended to an extra layer in Vengeful with even more EO’s and powers and it made for some exciting chapters. The story really gripped me through every turn and bend.
I’m so glad I gave this series another chance because although I enjoyed Vicious, I could take it or leave it, it just didn’t quite hit the mark for me. But Vengeful really changed things, I had so much fun reading it. I am thrilled to learn that there are plans for a third book, can’t wait to see what Schwab comes up with!
4/5 ⭐️
