I’m looking for a book that is full of feminine rage that includes Karma or revenge. I recently read Maeve Fly and I loved it, but it was missing an element of revenge or karma. Preferably written by a female. It can have gore, be horror, or literary. I’m open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!

I go ape shit over this book I do not hear anyone talking about it. Perfect days by Raphael Montes. It has less of the revenge factor but the feminine rage I felt was intense! It was originally written in Portuguese I believe so it’s kind of hard to find a physical copy, but I found it on audiobook! It’s about a loner medical student who goes to a party and becomes obsessed with this girl. He essentially kidnaps her with the hopes of making her fall in love with him. The twists are insane! It’s written from his perspective so the way he tries to rationalize his INSANE behavior is wild. 5⭐️ from me!
When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill
The Change by Kristen Miller
Shit Cassandra Saw (short story collection. EXCELLENT!)
Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone
Jane is seeking revenge on her best friend’s ex boyfriend after her friend commits suicide.
I❤️ Jane!
*She’s Come Undone* by Wally Lamb
When Women Were Dragons is a big look at that. It was quite a softer story that encapsulates so much rage. It was pretty beautiful but not very fast paced.
Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie…
If you’re into dark/ gritty fantasy fiction.
The Crescent City series has a bad ass main character. The book is full of strong female characters.
Witch by Finbar Hawkins
Not written by a woman, but female range is the driving force behind the book
Sharp Objects
Small Mercies. Dennis Lehane.
Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis. It’s YA but definitely not for young teens and I’m an old lady and loved it.
*Animal* by Lisa Taddeo
The Power by Naomi Alderman- the transformation as things develop! The relationship between newscasters is especially delicious.
And the classic delight that is The Life and Loves of a She-Devil by Faye Weldon is full of revenge.
