Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Since it is nearly Christmas (!!!), I am to now list ten books I hope to find waiting under my tree with a big, fat bow on top. Please applaud my refrain from simply stating all the books.
Although Christmas may not be as exciting as when I was a kid, it still remains one of my favorite times of the year. I am sure my parents are just relieved that I have long since outgrown waking them up at three in the morning to open presents. Thanks to the lovely Rebekah at Wings Made of Words for tagging me!

Series: Vicious #1
Genre: Science Fiction
Synopsis: Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong. Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. 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?
