Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.
Victor and Eli are college roommates. At least, that's how they start out. They are both smart, ambitious, and see the hunger for knowledge in each other. It's senior year and it's time to decide on their thesis. Victor's is on adrenaline, while Eli's is on EOs, better known as ExtraOrdinarys. Soon their thesis goes from academic to experimental, and things go horribly wrong.
Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison and is determined to search for his old friend. aided by his cellmate and a young girl. Eli, however, is on a mission. One that could threaten Victor and everything he's worked for.
To be honest, I didn't expect to like this when I started it. It's confusing at first, as the timeline jumps between the past and present. As you continue reading, however, it soon begins to connect and everything falls into place.
This was my first V.E. Schwab novel and definitely will not be my last. I hope to start either A Darker Shade of Magic or This Savage Song soon. I'm looking forward to reading Vengeful soon. This is definitely one of my top reads of the year, if not the top read.
The absence of pain led to an absence of fear, and the absence of fear led to a disregard for consequence.
