About this listen
Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognised the same sharpness and ambition in one another. 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. They become EOs, ExtraOrdinaries, leaving a body in their wake and turning on each other.
Ten years later Victor has escaped from prison and is determined to get his revenge on the man who put him there, aided by a young girl with the ability to raise the dead. Eli has spent the years hunting down and killing every EO he can find, convinced that they are a crime against God, all except his sidekick, a woman whose power is persuasion and whom he cannot defy. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the arch-nemeses have set a course for revenge - but who will be left alive at the end?

"Vicious is the superhero novel I've been waiting for: fresh, merciless, and yes, vicious.” (Mira Grant, best-selling author)
“Schwab writes with the fiendish ingenuity, sardonic wit, and twisted imagination of a true supervillian.” (Greg Cox, New York Times)

Gripping!
A little slow and confusing in the first few chapters... But absolutely unputdownable thereafter as the dots start connecting and the story emerges!
Love love looooved how it's written and performed!

Predictable plot but a enjoyable characters
This would have been a three-star read if not for the character of Victor Vale. The plot is intentionally predictable but the non-linear narrative builds the anticipation to see if you've guessed where the story is going correctly. Even though there were no surprises or twists, I found myself waiting to see our characters figure everything out.
