Vengeful

HOLY WOW THIS BOOK WAS GOOD. I’m not joking – I WAS HOOKED, in a way that I haven’t been in a LONG time! I remember seeing this image of V. E. Schwab with her notes on the floor, re-plotting Vengeful and, when I read it, I could see the work that went into making this masterpiece the best it could be. With the exception of the ending, I wouldn’t have changed a THING about this book, but even then, I’ll give it five glowing stars because THAT WAS A GREAT READ. THINGS I LOVED: 1. THE STRUCTURE: From past to present, varying between character and character, the structure – and the mystery that that structure brought – was what brought Vengeful to life. Everything about this book was darker and twist-ier than Vicious as the fight wasn’t just Eli V Victor anymore, but with other equally powerful EOs, government agencies and slightly deranged scientists now in the mix. It was shocking and heart-wrenching and if you loved even a moment of Vicious, you’ll ADORE Vengeful. 2. VICTOR: I REALLY loved how Victor’s story progressed in this book. It was juicier and darker, because he was fighting for his own survival and OH WOW I LOVED IT. 3. THE FINAL BATTLE: I loved the culmination battle of Marcella VS Victor VS Eli VS the task force and all the power and the twists. I wish the CONCLUDING scene with Victor was a little more fleshed out, but I enjoyed it all regardless. MY VERDICT: Get your hands on this series NOW. Vicious and Vengeful are absolutely, deliciously mind-blowing, dark and twisty and everything you would expect from a book about villains!

This book gives you more than it will take. Some of the scenes are so well constructed that you will fall into its reality. "Every end may be a new beginning, but every beginning had to end".

Top scores! An extraordinary follow-up to the first book in the series, "Viscious", but with even more shocks, action and twists than before! It's not easy to read a book of this length in essentially one sitting, but I could not put it down! The characters that we grew to love/hate in the first book - from Victor to Eli as well as Mitch and Sydney - are made even more real through further glimpses into their deep pasts, making their own inner demons and struggles all the more believeable! And the new players introduced in this last (????) book only made things that much more exciting! VE.Schwab has simply done it again! Enjoy the hell out of this book!
