More like a very solid 3.5. I just felt too disappointed with all the squandered potential for truly exquisite revenge scenes. Schwab, my guy, come on now. Her writing continues to enchant and her characters continue to compel, but I just felt like I never got to breathe that satisfying sigh of relief that would have come from the book living up to its literal title.

Pretty much the same review for both books btw - 

OMG!!! Wow… so these have been on my physical shelf since 2022 and I finally read them!!! Thank you thank you I’m proud of it too. 

Did I love Vicious? Yes. Was Vengeful better? Yeah. To me. Hehehehehehe 

I loved the new side characters in Vengeful. Marcella kind of ate even though she was the enemy. June was cool and I think book 3 should have more of her. Which speaking of, book 3 is on the table for the future. OMG! 

I think the usage of multiple POVs in both novels really contributes to my enjoyment of them because you get to hear everyone’s backstory through their perspective and you get a glimpse in how they think/view the world. 

If you want a fantasy book about superpowers and supervillains ~ read this!!! It also has strong friendships, betrayals, and   your jaw will be dropped. 


Eli … rip i guess but I feel like he’s not really dead ya know?! He can’t be right? 

Sydney realizing Serena never wanted her and so she stopped trying to bring her back … brb I wanted to hug Sydney. Also Sydney is soooo loyal to Victor and Mitch … girlypop believes in found family. 

Victor and Eli should have kissed. Just saying there was a lot of angst and tension between them.
