A trade paperback repackage of New York Times bestseller V.E. Schwab's Vicious, a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, and superpowers which will include:
- A new cover by Wil Staehle, cover artist of the iconic Shades of Magic trilogy covers
- Schwab's Tor.com short story set within the Vicious universe, "Warm Up"
- A teaser for the upcoming sequel, Vengeful.
Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.
Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end?
In Vicious, V.E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn't automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question.
“A dynamic and original twist on what it means to be a hero and a villain. A killer from page one…highly recommended!”
—Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Marvel Universe vs The Avengers and Patient Zero

Your Guide to Reading VE Schwab's Books!
you’re legally required to read all of her books now just saying
I could only fit so many books in 90 seconds, so read any of these books in between the others! I just wouldn’t start your VE Schwab journey with them! They’re good ones to give you a break into her longer works:
The Near Witch: folklore, paranormal, witches, romance This Savage Song (Duology): dytopian, urban fantasy, paranormal Gallant: young adult, paranormal, dark academia The Dark Vault: young adult, urban fantasy, paranormal
⬇️ BOOKS MENTIONED ⬇️ Vicious Vengeful Victorious A Darker Shade of Magic A Gathering of Shadows A Conjuring of Light The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue The Fragile Threads of Power Bury our Bones in the Midnight Soil All by @veschwab and published by @torbooks
Also I’m hiding this down here so not that many of you see, but: I’ve claimed the title of #1 fan of VE Schwab and you can take it from my cold dead hands (actually you can’t because I still wouldn’t give it up).
#booktok #bookish #books reading, content creator, bury our bones in the midnight soil, ve Schwab, writer, author, debut, romance, lgbt, adsom, a darker shade of magic, vicious, vengeful, owlcrate, Fantasy, magical realism, urban fantasy, mental illness, representation, literary fiction

Here’s Part I on what a Saturday at @underbrushbooks is like from my perspective.
Saturdays are usually pretty busy with customers, so most of my time is spent on the sales floor, with some administrative work at the counter between customers.
PS: I’ll be diving into some of these topics more in detail in the future. I’ve got a very exciting announcement happening this coming week, so more details to come 👀
