Vicious
by V.E. Schwab
Victor and Eli are both extremely smart and extremely deadly in their own way. They met as college roommates and ended up as enemies and now their final battle is on the way and one of them won't survive.
So I feel like this whole thing was kind of a willy-waving competition between Victor and Eli as they both tried to decided who was the biggest and baddest of each other? I though the story was told really well between the flashbacks and present time and all the different relationships formed between Eli and Serena, and Victor, Sydney and Mitch were great. This was definitely an interesting one as neither Eli or Victor are flawless - they are both incredibly flawed and while Eli definitely has a bigger body count (and is kind of crazy, let's face it), Victor is a pretty evil guy too. The whole thing definitely has an X-Men vibe but I think because the main characters were more and than good, I was reminded more of the Channel 4 show Misfits. I'd definitely love more in this world - or even more just following Sydney and Dol's adventures as they were the cutest. And in mentioning Sydney, Serena was fantastic. I loved her character and how she thought and manipulated everyone. She was brilliant!
