In the second (of supposedly 3) novels about Victor and Eli, this one is barely about them! Marcella (the true mc) is busy embodying female rage while Victor is on a side quest. What is being set up for book 3?? We got no clue.

The Boys, Steelheart, Watchmem, Invincible, Umbrella Academy, and now Vicious. The newest antihero style story where just because you have superpowers doesn't make you a superhero. Tom hasn't read the novel, so Laura enlightens him.

Another older sci-fi tale surrounding a suspicious jar... Laura regales Tom with the tale of intrigue, double crosses, and jar of mysterious contents. This is the Crown Jewels by Walter Jon Williams.
