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?

Critic reviews
“Supremely plotted and incredibly well-written.” (The Independent on Sunday)
"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)

Looking forward to the next book!
Narration was great. Doing the feminine voices was ok too. The story was interesting and it flowed smoothly… But I do have questions, why do they hate each other so much! I just don’t understand… and it’s odd you want them to do well, but they’re both bad guys! And then you don’t like them too! But onto the next…

Was expecting more
This particular title wasn't easy to get into. While listening so many times it felt something is missing or just this story wasn't working with me🙄at least at the end I got used with inconsistencies and enjoyed the ending. Great narration.

riveting new take on Super powers
while I found the flicking from past to present style of story telling slow to get into the reverse take on Super powered villains or hero's was compelling

Great listen from an Audie LaRue fan
I listened to this book because I'm a big fan of The invisible life of Addie LaRue and I was happy to find this was another great listen! I love the concept, the story was enjoyable and well narrated!

OK story, struggled to keep my attention
The narrator was good. Story wasn't quite as catching as other books by Schwab.

I loved every single character!
This book exceeded my expectations. The writing is beautiful, the non-linear storytelling is done brilliantly and every single character is multifaceted and morally grey!

An excellent story
Although Addie LaRue is my all time favourite I really loved this book, VE Schwab has the most ingenious story lines...complex and compelling. In all her books I find myself swept along unable to tear myself away. She's a genius 👌🏻😁
Ashley did a brilliant narration, I liked the story being told in a British accent but the characters American.

Chapter titles are missing information
The story flips throughout the past and present. The book includes whether the chapter is set 10 years ago/ 3 days ago etc but the audiobook doesn’t. This made it very hard to follow without the paperback on front of me. A shame, the story is great.
