I’m looking for something that feels like watching a lady John Wick. like female rage but in a vengeful and cathartic sorta way but also still fun?
Like I've noted, this is a collation blog for people's recommendations. I haven't read all these books, which means I can't necessarily speak to specific plot points. In this instance, I also haven't seen John Wick. (Are we talking thriller here? Fantasy? Crime?) I'd really prefer not to take hyperspecific requests, just to avoid inadvertently disappointing people.
That said, I evidently haven't made this clear enough, so that's on me and I apologise. But from what I have read, I think this might be up your alley:
Blackheart Knights by Laure Eve
Imagine Camelot but in Gotham: a city where knights are the celebrities of the day, riding on motorbikes instead of horses and competing in televised fights for fame and money.
Imagine a city where a young, magic-touched bastard astonishes everyone by becoming king - albeit with extreme reluctance - and a girl with a secret past trains to become a knight for the sole purpose of vengeance.
Imagine a city where magic is illegal but everywhere, in its underground bars, its back-alley soothsayers - and in the people who have to hide what they are for fear of being tattooed and persecuted.
Imagine a city where electricity is money, power the only game worth playing, and violence the most fervently worshipped religion.
Welcome to a dark, chaotic, alluring place with a tumultuous history, where dreams come true if you want them hard enough - and are prepared to do some very, very bad things to get them . . .
