His trench billowed faintly, brushing the tops of tombstones as he made his way through Merit Cemetery, humming as he went. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the arch-nemeses have set a course for revenge―but who will be left alive at the end?
Vicious by V. E. Schwab | Waterstones
E. Schwab (Tor Books, 2013) follows a group of ExtraOrdinary individuals (EOs) through their quests as they grapple with what it means to be alive.
After the Victor Vale, Eli Cardale, and Marcella Riggins fiascos, Merit is not liking the trend of EOs running around like they own the place.

Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end? A few days shy of her thirteenth birthday, and even for twelve and eleven twelfths, Sydney Clarke was small. They were neither, but the resemblance certainly came in handy since Victor couldn't very well tell people he'd picked up the girl on the side of a rain-soaked road a few days before. On the surface, Eli seemed perfectly normal, but now and then Victor would catch a crack, a sideways glance, a moment when his roommate's face and his words, his look and his meaning, would not line up. Schwab is the NYT, USA, and Indie bestselling author of over a dozen books for adults and children, including the Shades of Magic series (2015) and This Savage Song (2016).Victor and Sydney dig up one of Eli’s past kills (the body from the opening chapters), and Sydney uses her EO ability to bring the man back to life and deliver a message to Eli that Victor will be waiting for him at midnight that night. Schwab’s characters feel vital and real, never reduced to simple archetypes… In a genre that tends toward the flippant or pretentious, this is a rare superhero novel as epic and gripping as any classic comic. Victor and Eli begin as college roommates and discover that near-death experiences, under the right conditions, can create superhuman abilities.
