Best Served Cold. It’s a standalone to a bigger series called The First Law (Low magic fantasy) but it stands very well on its own.

You have to wait for it, but {{Lies You Never Told Me by Jennifer Donaldson}} definitely has this

The Revenant by Michael Punke. Inspired by true events novel following a frontiersman left for dead by his expedition team after a bear attack.
The Reapers are the Angels by Alden Bell. In a zombie apocalypse, the protagonist seeks revenge against those who threaten her survival.

It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis comes to mind. The revenge is only a small subplot, but sticks in my memory years after reading. I’ll try not to spoil it, but one of the family members is horribly wronged by a character who dominates the rest of them with fear, and whenever she enters a scene she haunts it like a ghost. Her very presence shames their cowardice. She is one of the reasons that the concept “men get revenge but women become revenge” really sticks with me.
