Hatchett, Keisha (May 5, 2022). "First Kill Lands Release Date at Netflix — Get First Look at YA Vampire Series". TVLine . Retrieved May 12, 2022. Still, I ended up tearing through this thing in a few days and thought it was (overall) a pretty fantastic story. Schwab's characters feel vital and real, never reduced to simple archetypes...In a genre that tends toward the flippant or pretentious, this is a rare superhero novel as epic and gripping as any classic comic. Schwab's tale of betrayal, self-hatred, and survival will resonate with superhero fans as well as readers who have never heard of Charles Xavier or Victor von Doom.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) this book in its entirety is honestly something else. the concept, the plot, the characters, the writing, the conclusion. i couldnt put this down. and thank the book gods schwab decided to bless us with a sequel that our boys eli and victor so undoubtedly deserve. <3 The Guardian called Vicious "a brilliant exploration of the superhero mythos, and a riveting revenge thriller". [6] Additionally, it received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, [7] which also named the novel one of its best books of 2013 for Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror. [8] The American Library Association's Reference and User Services Association likewise awarded it the top fantasy book in their 2014 Reading List. [9] In late 2013, the rights for a film adaptation of Vicious were bought jointly by Story Mining & Supply Co and Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions. [10] [11]

Sydney - My favorite character, who needs to be protected at all costs, and is just trying to find her place in a world that has constantly made her feel like she doesn’t belong. It is all about perspective. Good and bad are always subjective aspects of one’s life and they always need a determinative factor to keep them going around in circles. Good is never good enough for some, or too good for others. Good can be twisted and turned into bad. Good could be worse than bad. Bad might not be as bad as it seems. Bad could be terrible.So this book is a quite mash-up of X-Men – Boys ( because they are not originally super humans, they’re created at the labs as like Boys’ notorious super humans who are also bad guys like these two on this book!) –Flatliners ( if you skip Oliver Platt’s character, this reminds me of Bacon- Sutherland and Roberts trio. Two guys and a smart girl triangle) With great power comes great responsibility and not everyone can handle either of those. The outcome could be destroying. And everyone is vicious when it comes to power. The characters themselves are some sort of stereotypes, but there is something about them that makes them feel different, unique. And that something might be the skilful character building. Vengeful is the sequel to Vicious — a story of med-students who obtain superpowers and play god as they seek to destroy each other. It is hard talk about Vengeful without spoiling the master piece that is Vicious.

Schwab considers Vengeful in conversation with Vicious, adding that she doesn’t recommend reading Vengeful without having first read Vicious: “I think the two halves of that quotation mark, the two halves of that conversation are really important.” It was a conversation that Schwab sometimes struggled to have with herself, at one point rewriting the entire book from scratch. And oh, how I love the characters. Eli is a crafty, unpredictable megalomaniac. Victor is a calculating, merciless killer. They are my cinnamon rolls and I must protect them.You know a book is going to obsess the hell out of me when I fall in love with the main character from the first chapters and the main character happens to be a villain. Tell you what,” said Victor. “You remember me, and I'll remember you, and that way we won't be forgotten.” Victoria Elizabeth (V. E.) Schwab (born July 7, 1987) is an American writer.
