![]() Marcella embodies the classic and dark femme fatalein many ways - beautiful, mysterious, dangerous. With a single touch, she can erode anything and anyone who stands in her way.Īnd from there, Schwab chronicles the rise of one of the greatest villains I’ve read in years. And thankfully for her (and unfortunately for everyone else), she obtains the power to do just that. When she survives her would-be death, she has only one thought on her mind: ruin. The housewife of a bigshot mobster, Marcella has been cast aside in the shadows, never allowed to truly shine - at least until her devastating brush with death at the hands of someone she had once trusted and adored. ![]() So the story begins with Marcella Riggins. And Vengeful responds (shouts!) in like with its own spin on temptation - the temptation of anger, betrayal and (above all else) revenge. Temptation is, in so many ways, at the heart of Vicious - that temptation for power, knowledge, glory. And Eli Ever still has yet to pay for the evil he has done. But despite his own worries, his anger remains. Victor himself is under the radar these days-being buried and re-animated can strike concern even if one has superhuman powers. But now she is alone, except for her thrice-dead dog, Dol, and then there’s Victor, who thinks Sydney doesn’t know about his most recent act of vengeance. Sydney once had Serena-beloved sister, betrayed enemy, powerful ally. Schwab’s long-awaited follow-up to her 2013 novel Vicious. A lust for vengeance is as strong as any superpower in V.E. ![]()
