I'm looking for a novel similar to The Boys – just literally less visually graphic!
I love love love the idea of superheroes being corrupt, and political intrigue, and PR campaigns, and things not being what they seem – and the underdogs who work to expose them.
I have no problems reading about R-rated topics – violence, sexual assault, blood, gore, limbs being ripped off and shoved up orifices, torture, etc. I just don't want to see it (so I have a hard time with both the show and the comics).
I would prefer the graphic detail to be closer to PG-13 than a hard R – but honestly I'm good with whatever descriptor words as long as it's not literal images.
I'm open to both adult and young adult suggestions!
