Vicious Novel (Villains Series, Book 1 of 3)-A Dark Superhero Story Where Heroes Are Not Simple by V. E. Schwab
Vicious Novel by V. E. Schwab (Villains Series, Book 1 of 3) is not a normal superhero story. This book is about Victor Vale and Eli Ever, two smart college friends who become enemies after a dangerous experiment goes wrong.
They study near-death experiences and the chance of getting strange powers. But when they try to test their idea, everything changes. Years later, Victor comes out of prison and wants revenge. Eli is hunting people with powers. Both men think they are right, but both are dangerous.
This is a sharp, dark, and exciting book for readers who enjoy superpowers, revenge, smart characters, and stories where the line between good and bad is not clear.
Why This Book Feels So Addictive
Some superhero books are only about saving the world. Vicious is different. It asks a stronger question: if someone gets power, will they become a hero, or will they become something worse?
Victor and Eli are both clever, proud, and broken in their own ways. Their fight is not only about power. It is about jealousy, pain, betrayal, and revenge. That makes the story feel deeper and more exciting.
If you like books with smart villains, dark twists, fast action, and strong tension, this book can be a very gripping read.

What is Vicious by V. E. Schwab about?
Vicious by V. E. Schwab is a dark science-fiction fantasy novel about Victor Vale and Eli Ever, two brilliant college friends whose research into near-death experiences and extraordinary abilities turns into betrayal, revenge, and a dangerous rivalry. Readers often discuss the book for its morally grey characters, anti-hero storytelling, fast pacing, and unique take on superpowers where power does not automatically mean heroism. Macmillan describes the Villains world as a gritty, comic-book-style story where gaining superpowers does not naturally lead to heroism.

Is Vicious a good choice for readers who like morally grey characters?
Yes. Vicious is especially popular among readers who enjoy morally grey characters, anti-heroes, revenge plots, and stories where the line between hero and villain is not simple. Online reader discussions often focus on Victor Vale and Eli Ever because neither character fits the usual “good hero vs evil villain” structure. Many readers discuss how the book challenges the idea of who deserves sympathy and who becomes dangerous when ambition, pain, and power combine.
Is Vicious more fantasy, science fiction, or thriller?
Vicious blends science fiction, dark fantasy, and thriller elements. The story uses near-death experiments and extraordinary abilities as its core concept, but the reading experience feels tense, character-driven, and revenge-focused. It is a strong choice for readers who want supernatural powers without a traditional superhero tone, and for those who enjoy darker adult fantasy with psychological conflict.
Do I need to read any other V. E. Schwab book before Vicious?
No. Vicious is Book 1 of the Villains Series, so readers can start directly with this novel. It introduces Victor, Eli, the ExtraOrdinary abilities, and the central conflict from the beginning. Readers who are new to V. E. Schwab can also use Vicious as an entry point because it stands separately from her other series such as Shades of Magic or The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.
Is Vicious suitable for young readers?
Vicious is generally better suited for older teens and adult readers because it includes dark themes, violence, revenge, moral conflict, death-related experiments, and emotionally intense scenes. It is not written like a light superhero adventure. Customers buying for younger readers should consider the reader’s maturity and comfort with darker fantasy and anti-hero stories.
Why do readers online talk so much about Victor Vale and Eli Ever?
Readers commonly discuss Victor and Eli because their relationship moves from friendship and academic rivalry to obsession, betrayal, and revenge. Their conflict is one of the strongest parts of the novel. Many readers are drawn to how V. E. Schwab writes both men as intelligent, damaged, ambitious, and dangerous in different ways. Goodreads discussions also highlight Victor as a complex character who is difficult to label as simply good or evil.
Is Vicious fast-paced or slow-paced?
Vicious is usually considered fast-paced and engaging, especially for readers who enjoy short chapters, timeline shifts, revenge arcs, and constant tension between characters. The story moves between past and present, gradually showing how Victor and Eli became enemies. This structure keeps the suspense active while revealing the backstory piece by piece.
