 The first book - Vicious, from the Villains duology was definitely something new. I mean yes, we had the X-Men like EOs , but their origin story was different and I really liked the friction and attraction between Eli Ever and Victor Vale, not to forget the supporting cast - Sydney, Mitch, Dol and Dom.

But the second book was literally a tribute to the X-Men world I thought and I loved it. Extremely fast paced and never a dull moment with our ladies Marcella and June, i lapped up the book as if I was watching a movie instead. I wished the ending would’ve been different but I guess it had to go one way or the other🙂 Not to forget the explicitly mentioned Ace character - Victor Vale!! 💜💜

So yes, I had a lot of fun reading both these books and will recommend them if you like fast paced action, gray characters and obviously the X-Men franchise 🙂
