5.0

The sequel to Vicious, this book continues to set the reader right into the lives of our "heroes" five years after we left them. We are also introduced to Marcella, the worlds most bad-a woman. The book floats through time and perspective, drifting through the past five years and 8 characters to build the story. (There is also a small time travel to Eli's childhood that, while not absolutely necessary to the plot line, is so good). The continued theme of there are no true heroes in this story, we meet our first possibly true villain, someone that even Eli and Victor can come together to stand against. You will fall deeper in love with complicated characters and you will want to read faster the further you get in, but I encourage you to slow down and savor every word. The book really is beautifully written in its chaos.
