V. E. Schwab's ExtraOrdinary #3 — V.E. Schwab

Twelve years ago, ELI EVER and his college friend, VICTOR VALE, developed ExtraOrdinary abilities after experimenting with near-death experiences. However, Victor accidentally killed Eli’s girlfriend after his abilities spun out of control. Eli swore revenge against anyone with ExtraOrdinary abilites and set out to kill as many as he could. Eventually he was arrested and conscripted by the mysterious EON organization to continue his crusade against any other EOs he could find. When reports of high school student CHARLOTTE TILL’s miraculous near-death escape from a terrible bus crash reached Eli, he knew he had found his next target. Haunted by visions of her death at the hands of Eli, Charlotte decided to find and kill him first. Following a lead, she set off for the town of Merit, his last known location, unaware that Eli and EON knew she was coming and had laid a trap for her… Before she could be captured, Eli was rescued by two fellow EOs, FELIX and MARSHALL who vowed to help her in her quest to kill Eli Ever…
