I recently played tomb raider 2013, and im trying to find books that give me that same feeling of "girl doing anything to survive" vibe. One of my only conditions is that I need it to focus on her survival, for example: if she's trying to survive a serial killer i don't want it to be focused on the random detective that it's solving the case and finds her in the end. I'll put some examples of books and movies down below just to give a general vibe about what i want, in summary, it's a girl or a woman surviving anything, natural disaster? Cool. Serial killer? Cool. Hostile enviroment? Cool. War? Cool.
Book examples:
-The Hunger Games (speaks by itself, but Katniss has to survive the games)
-Black Water Sister: Jessamyn has to survive the goddess, the mafia (and her grandma, but that's another topic)
-Where The Crawdads Sing: Kya has to survive the marshes.
-Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. Cheryl is basically doing the whole hike alone and ofc she has to face the adversities on her own.
-In the Poppy War, Rin has to survive the war.
-In five survive, Red and her friends have to survive the sniper.
-In The Final Girl Support Group: Lynette has to survive the killer.
As movies
-In The Fall: the main character has to survive the tower.
-In The Ledge: the main character has to survive a whole mountain climbing with the killers of her friend hunting her down.
-In Hide and seek + you are next, the girl has to survive killers.
-In The Shallows: the main character has to survive the white shark + leg wound.
