Steelheart
Steelheart is Brandon Sanderson's evil superheroes novel. That says it all really. It's quite Brandon Sanderson-y. If you like saying "wait, this hole in the premise seems a bit like a plot hole, no wait, this is Sanderson, I bet it turns out to be an important clue later" and getting proved right, then this is a good book for you. It tackles several superhero tropes in a way that makes significantly more sense than how they're usually presented.
Did I mention the evil superheroes?
It certainly gripped me, I read it all in one evening.
But some parts fell a bit flat for me, it felt like he'd had a really good book but had to rush it a bit, though I find it hard to explain why.

See above, but with added, "squeee! mistborn continues after the end of the mistborn trilogy!"
