November First Book In A Series BOTM - Vicious by V.E. Schwab

[Felicia]

Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.

Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end?

5% I don’t even know what’s going on yet but I’m already starting to get hooked!!!

End of Part 1
This book is amazing!!!
(view spoiler)[ I don’t like Eli at all so far. At first in the past I did, and was unsure about Victor. But as we go on in the current part, I love Victor and even though he’s not GOOD, he’s not evil either and he owns who he is and tries to stop himself from having no feelings. Plus he cares about Mitch and Sydney, it’s clear in reading the story. I love their team. Can’t wait to read more. (hide spoiler)]

Part 2, Ch.15
(view spoiler)[ I love that we’re getting to hear from the pasts of other side characters now! Serena(tho I can’t stand her), and Mitch whom I love! In getting Eli’s voice added in part two I dislike him even more. He’s so delusional thinking murder is okay and what God wants him to do. I sure hope he gets what’s coming to him!! I can hardly stand his and Serena’s judgmental nature of the other EOs!! I’m still team Victor, Mitch, Sydney, Dol all the way!!! I love the story still tho and the back and forth and the intense nature of it all!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Keri]

Finished!
(view spoiler)[ oh how PERFECT. All of it. Everything. Sigh. I don’t think it could’ve been better. Mitch had the fun unloaded. Serena dead. All her holds broken. Therefore cops not deluded that a murderer is a hero. Eli killed Victor and cops saw so him dead and Eli unharmed aka healed, so no defense. All the evidence he didn’t burn. Haha, in jail for eternity as he can’t die!!! AND since he never ages he’ll for sure be found out! And Sydney resurrecting Victor!! I loved the addition of Dominic too his power was a great help and saved them so many times!!! Such an amazing perfect book!!! (hide spoiler)]

I am hooked. I love the writting style and
(view spoiler)[all NDE thing. Damn. It intrigues me. And I want to know what happen between Victor and Eli, how it is that once best friends now enemies. Will Victor get his revenge? I mean, I think whats w'hat he wants. No? Something happened and I need to know what.
And what's Sydney story? What 'powers' does she have? How? (hide spoiler)]

End of Part 1 (~50 %)
(view spoiler)[ I like Victor. Maybe he isn't good, but he isn't evil too. Eli on the other hand. He pretends he is a good person, but he is an evil for sure. He is killing all those people because they are EOs, when he himself is one of them.
I like Sydney and Mitch. And I like their mistfist team of three. Can't wait to see what Elis reaction will be to the message from Victor. :) (hide spoiler)]

10%: Okay I love this book already. The writing style is great! (view spoiler)[ I am very interested in the topics they chose and figuring out why Victor went to prison. (hide spoiler)]
25%: (view spoiler)[ Okay this is actually super cool. Victor is obsessed with becoming EO now, which I don't really think it's worth a NDE just to be better than Eli. Also how dare he make Angie help him!! (hide spoiler)]
36%: (view spoiler)[ How interesting. So that is how Eli and Victor became enemies. Honestly, I can agree that Victor changed. EOs weren't even his thesis so I am not sure why Victor is so obsessed with them. (hide spoiler)]
50%: (view spoiler)[ I guess I understand why Eli is killing EOs, but he is one too soooo? I kind of liked Eli when they were in school and I thought Victor was kind of crazy, but now the roles have reversed? (hide spoiler)]
75%: This book is so freaking good, I can't put it down. (view spoiler)[ I really hate Serena. She absolutely sucks. What I don't get is why Eli is killing certain EOs. Like Why not Serena, I get she's useful but still. (hide spoiler)]

I am loving this book (view spoiler)[ I can't say the same about Eli and Serena. After getting a POV from Elis side, I don't like him even more. He is a cold blood murderer and it's sad how he is hiding behind God justifying himself. Sad.
Question. How Eli decides which EO can live, and who can die? Who is he? God?
I love Victor team tho. :) (hide spoiler)]
