V.E. Schwab is one of our favorite authors here at Den of Geek. From the Shades of Magic series to spooky middle grade read City of Ghosts to her “In Search of Doors” speech delivered at the J.R.R. Tolkien Lecture on Fantasy Literature, we’re really just big Schwab fans. We’re particularly excited about her Villainsseries, which begins with the clever, heartbreaking Vicious. Schwab paints the story of two college roomates, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, who discover the secret to supernatural abilities lies in near death experiences. The discovery proves to be the very thing that splits them apart, turning them into ExtraOrdinary persons, sure, but also turning them against one another. Schwab’s follow-up, Vengeful, checks back in with Victor, Eli, and the other characters we first met in Vicious, as well as introducing some new EO characters with their own ambitious goals to the world of Villains. With each page, the story grows faster, denser, and more inescapable, like all good books should. Vengeful, like Vicious before it, is one of those books, and Schwab is one of those writers. As bona fide Schwab fans, we want to spread the joy—so we’re giving away five copies of Vengefulto five lucky readers! Unfortunately, only readers who reside in the United States qualify for this contest. Final entries will be accepted Friday, January 31st! Five (5) winners will be drawn at random and contacted via Goodreads message.
