Actual rating: 4.5 stars

Vicious is thrilling and intoxicating. Once I got threw the first hundred pages, this book gripped me and did not let go. Schwab blurs the line between bad and worse. There is no good, although the mention of a hero lingers in its pages and makes you question if there actually is a hero.

The characters are vibrant, full of life and dangerous gifts. I love how each character is different and has a sense of morality in their own right.

Vicious is a thriller that will have you mesmerized until the very last sentence.
