Great story, great narration

A fantastic follow-up to Vicious that continues the exploits of the characters from the first book while introducing new compelling characters as well. The narration was excellent; easy to understand, well-paced, with distinct voices for all the characters that made dialogue easy to follow without being distracting.

Sooooo good

If you liked the first you’ll love this one too. It doesn’t disappoint and is able to follow up the previous one and is equal in quality. Stop wasting your time reading reviews and start listening before you get spoiled lol

Great book

Great characters, terrific story line. The first book was good but this book was better and I hope she makes a third.

Slow at first , but wow

I loved Vicious and couldn’t wait for its sequel.

The format and first quarter of the book were a challenge, but once she hit stride I couldn’t stop.

Fantastic

so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone

The first book of this series hooked me, the narrator really pulls you into the world and the characters. really enjoyed this audiobook.

One of my all time favorite supervillain books!

Noir feel, clever powers, huge justifications for revenge. Or escape. Or growth. This is my kind of brain food!

Loved it

Absolutely a huge fan of all her work but this and the first was truly captivating. Couldn’t get enough of it.

didn't love as much as Vicious

In many ways I LOVED this. But, I have to say that there were A LOT of time jumps in this... like every chapter was bouncing around in different timelines for different characters... like zero parts of this book were linear. In audio format that was really hard to follow, and I just gave up on keeping straight timelines in my head I could only be like "ok this is happening a long time ago" or "ok this is semi recent" but remembering what was 2 years ago or 4 years ago or 5 years ago for like 6 different character's timelines was just impossible. So, I'm not sure if that would be easier in physical copy, but if that is important to you as a reader then be aware.

Schwab has done it again!!!!

There are no wards to describe the way I feel for this book! 👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo Schwab Bloody Bravo!!!!

Great series with cool and realistic? powers

I really liked this whole series. I didn't think we needed a second book in this series, but I'm glad she wrote it.
