Vicious

It's rare to read a story with so many shades of grey. The main characters of Vicious – Victor and Eli – are far from typical protagonists. They are both friends and college roommates who discover a way to become EOs - Extra Ordinary people. Think superheroes.

Rather than being a typical superhero story where the focus is on these two interacting with the world, the story draws these to together as conflict builds.

As the first book in a series, this was a near-perfect introduction to the world. It can be read on its own, or as part of the series. I'll be continuing it without a doubt.
