V.E. Schwab: 6 p.m. Sept. 28, Third Place Books, Lake Forest Park, 7171 Bothell Way NE. A follow-up to “Vicious,” Schwab’s new book “Vengeful,” is a super-powered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful intentions. The sequel catches up with Marcella Riggins, still flush from her brush with death. She’s finally gained the control she’s always sought — and will use her new-found power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She’ll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs (ExtraOrdinaries, basically superheroes), Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other once more.
