didn't love as much as Vicious
In many ways I LOVED this. But, I have to say that there were A LOT of time jumps in this... like every chapter was bouncing around in different timelines for different characters... like zero parts of this book were linear. In audio format that was really hard to follow, and I just gave up on keeping straight timelines in my head I could only be like "ok this is happening a long time ago" or "ok this is semi recent" but remembering what was 2 years ago or 4 years ago or 5 years ago for like 6 different character's timelines was just impossible. So, I'm not sure if that would be easier in physical copy, but if that is important to you as a reader then be aware.

Everyone is a jerk
Am I supposed to be rooting for Victor Vale? He sucks. He broods and complains. And he becomes at least as bad as Eli from book one. He poses the world's biggest false dichotomy--it's us or them-- to justify doing horrible stuff.
So, everyone goes on their way doing terrible things and complaining the whole time. The ladies were interesting because they simply embraced their powers and started living as out and out villains, which was refreshing. But overall, this book didn't satisfy because there's no one to really care about.

Annoying Narrator
The narrator uses this whimsy, wavering voices for ALL the women in this book. ANNOYING!

Top Tier!
Schwab is one of my favorite authors, and this book showcases many of the reasons for that status. Each character is well formed and believable, and the story moves organically.
The narrator does a great job with this audio book, too

The Villains saga continues and Danger swells
I had the pleasure of completing this book and Vicious back to back and was thoroughly enthralled. This book expands the cast of EOs roaming the streets of Merritt. Their motivations and desire to find meaningful, friendship, family, or power lead them down roads that intersect. This long awaited book was well worth the wait. Thank you V.E.

Great Story in Spite of Mediocre Character Voices
Amazing part 2! I just wish I wasn't so unimpressed with the narrator's female character voices.

Amazing!
Holy crap! What an adventure. V E is unbelievable, she threads and weaves the story so well. Giving you just enough information to keep you itching for more. I love this series so much! I am obsessed with Schwab’s work. This follows Vic and Eli after Eli was captured by the police. Vic faked his death and is trying to move along with Sidney and Mitch. They are a family, so to speak. Things don’t always go to plan and Vic is just the guy to fix things, even if he can’t fix himself. How can he fix it all when he keeps dying. Yes, he keeps dying and coming back to life. He powers are going haywire. Sid blames herself and befriends June. June is mixed up with Marcella and Marcella with the mafia. Oh, this is good! Eli is eager to find a way out of his prison and kill some EOs, nothing can stop Eli. It’s Eli vs Vic always and forever, it seems!

Bit chaotic, but with fine finale
This one was a bit of a mess. Jumping timeline, plot focusing on one character, only to forget about them for a very long time. Main characters from the last book disappeared for so long, I almost forgot about them. Because of that, the middle part felt chaotic and was losing my focus. I didn't like not knowing who the main character was.
This, plus some poor voice choices, made me think I would give it 4 stars.
But finale was very well planned, with high tension and not obvious ending. I liked it very much. It even made all previous editing choices look better.

Not as good as the first… but if you read Vicious you will read this…
Narration- why did they change the narrator from the first one?!?! Considering this book is very female character lead, why wasn’t a narrator who could either do a good female read or even a female chosen… every time he put on female voice, the character would sound like they’re on helium but still have a dull deep voice! Or “she” would sound like an old lady with someone holding their hands round her neck! For the main male voices, he was ok.
The story… There was a lot going on. I feel the story about Marcella and June was put in to pad the book out for Eli and Victor… I felt the book wasn’t about either sets of characters… however i still kept listening, I still kind of liked it and I wanted to know what would happen next…
The big finale scene was written well and so easy to picture! I just don’t understand all the hate between the characters….

A fantastic read, full of humour and tension
I enjoyed Vicious, but Vengeful took the villains series to the next level. I found a new favourite with each character introduced, and listened in writhing anticipation for the moment that each party collided - and was not left disappointed. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys (responsibly) consuming media full of dark characters and relationships with a side of complicated found family and plenty of dry humour.

Note: Change of narrator
The sequel of this series has a different narrator. Unfortunately this one adopts a whiny, breathy tone for every single female character (of whom there are more of now) and muddles the accents he puts on between lines.
The story itself is still enjoyable. The characters from the first book remain, joined by some interesting additions. Lots of build up in this book without any real pay off or conclusion though.

Simply amazing
This book, to me, is perfection.
I very rarely give five stars, but V.E. Schwab's second installment of the Villains saga certainly deserves each and every one. Intricate plots that work out like clockwork, driven by a very-dark-grey kind of hero and an equally compelling cast of thoroughly fleshed out characters, are exactly my cup of tea. V.E. Schwab's style is maturely polished and well balanced, yet it sounds fresh, immediate. Her voice is sharp and clear. This story drags you in and quickly becomes an addiction. Please, Ms. Schwab... show us more about this cruel, breathtaking universe. We need more of your Villains.

So much better than the first audiobook’s narration
Worth sitting through the first book’s narration to get to this juicy, twisty plot. Great story.
