Broken Breath by Blake Black
Seven years ago, I was one of the best in downhill mountain biking—a girl with grit, speed, and a shot at gold. But that was before my competitor’s brother sabotaged my bike, before the crash shattered my body and stole the future I’d spent my entire life chasing.
They thought I disappeared. And maybe I did. But now I’m back, racing under a new name and hiding behind a mask—one that makes me unrecognizable.
To the world, I’m just another guy chasing a podium. To him, I’m no one to fear. That’s exactly how I want it.
This isn’t about glory. I didn’t return to reclaim my title. I came to ruin his. To beat him at his own game. To humiliate him in front of everyone who cheered when I fell. To prove that even broken, a girl like me was always better than him.
But what I didn’t see coming was them. The golden boy with something to prove. The French flirt who grins like sin and plays even dirtier. And the one person I swore I’d never let close—my brother’s best friend, who sees more than I can afford to show.
This was supposed to be simple. But nothing about revenge ever is.
The Blackened Blade by Isla Davon
Not many people get a second chance, let alone a second life.
I died. Burnt in a prison cell I spent years of my life rotting away in.
I had been beaten, battered, and bruised beyond repair...but not broken. Never broken.
By whatever miracle, I've been brought back ten years into my past and before I was locked away...
But to a different kind of hell… Wensridge Academy. A place filled with only memories of pain and suffering.
This time, I'll break the wheel of misfortune and with it, all the people who caused my suffering and death.
This time I'll have the life I should have always had.
Dark Dare by A.L. Maruga
When my opportunity arises to enact revenge against the nightmare that took my best friend and everything I loved from me, you bet I take it. Consequences be damned.
Fire will rain down on my new stepbrother and his two best friends. They can't escape the fallout of my rage; it's intertwined like poison, destroying everything it touches. They thought I’d be an easy target to break. That they’d bring me to my knees like all the girls who came before me. They have no idea what I’m capable of. They aren't the only psychos roaming around Soule University.
Mayhem thinks they control everyone, but the sun's about to go down on their reign. They have secrets that could destroy them, and I mean to use them. Those with all the power and privilege have the most to lose. I'm going to make sure they lose it all before I'm done.
The wolves are closing in on me, but where 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔, 𝑹𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒏 thought they'd feast on easy prey, I have a surprise for them.
My name is 𝓞𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓢𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓱𝓲𝓵𝓵, and I'm not afraid of Mayhem.
White Rose Painted Red by Elena Lawson & Blake Lawson
My fresh start is finally around the corner—but so is the man standing in the middle of the f*cking road.
He could’ve died when I hit him, and his two friends are downright furious. But instead of pressing charges, they offer me a deal: work for them for six months, and they’ll let it go.
Their secluded mountain estate is vast and beautiful. Full of stolen artifacts and dark secrets.
Atticus, Elijah, and Seven might be equally alluring, but they’re also damaged and dangerous—driven by a thirst for revenge they say I can help satisfy.
Only now that they have me, they don’t seem to want to let me go. And it’s not one-sided.
Before long, their vengeance becomes my own, and I begin to understand that even if helping them claims my life, it’s too late to turn back now.
I can’t guard a heart they’ve already stolen.
The Deceptions by Aly Beck
My name is Olivia Viotto. And five years ago, I was murdered by my three best friends. Only, they didn’t finish the job. Now, I’m back as an undercover agent, eager to tear their world apart.
Confronting my past was never on my to-do list. Neither was going undercover as a man, returning to my hometown, or unravelling the skeletons in everyone's closet. But here I am.
Five years ago, I died. Almost. How's that phrase go? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. So, I got stronger. From the fiery remains of tragedy, a guardian angel saved me, resuscitating and bringing me into the underbelly of a super secret government agency, where I healed my body and mind. Yet the scars of that night never faded.
For years, I trained and brought down the bad guys. One person at a time. Now, it's their turn. My ex-best friends. Huxley. JJ. Mack. The three boys I loved with all my heart who betrayed me in the worst possible way.
My mission? Go deep undercover, posing as a new male student named Oliver. Watch my ex-best friends. Infiltrate their frat to become a member and earn their trust.
Because something fishy is happening at Greenwood University. Murder. Mayhem. Missing people. The list is endless in a sea of snakes.
Until it all goes impossibly wrong, my identity and life are at risk every step I take, and the bad guys are closing in. I'm forced to lean on the very people I swore vengeance on.
Nothing is ever as it seems. Lies are everywhere. But I’m here to uncover it all.
Storm the Gates by Elizabeth Dear
In Saint Gabriel City, there are the Four Families, and there are those who are owned by them. The Spencers, the Hargraves, the Ferreros, and the Knights rule the City together with their exorbitant wealth and iron fists that no one dare challenge.
Each Family has an Heir, and they are raised together to one day assume control of their respective empires, trained to crush anyone who stands in their way under the heel of their unmeasurable power.
At least, there were Four Families, and there were four Heirs—until three of the Families banded together to murder the Knights in cold blood one fateful summer night. Their daughter was only eleven years old.
And the other Heirs—three sons—were only twelve as they watched their best friend die on the floor of a soulless beige conference room next to her parents.
Seven years later, the remaining Heirs have taken their place at the ultra-exclusive Holywell Academy where the City’s elite strive to earn a coveted place in the Families’ kingdom by rubbing elbows with the exalted sons.
Only what Bennett Spencer, Noah Hargraves, and Zach Ferrero don’t know—what the Families have failed to realize after all these years—is that Jolie Knight didn’t die that night.
That little girl has been hiding just across the river, right under their noses. That little girl is all grown up, and now she’s the Academy’s newest scholarship student.
That little girl is me, and I’m going to burn this City to the ground.
Savage Princess by Jennilynn Wyer
One strong-willed woman set on revenge. Three childhood friends who are now her enemies. Get ready for Alexandria to create chaos.
My name is Alexandria Donatella McCarthy, daughter of the don of the Rossi syndicate. Abused. Neglected. Underestimated. I'm about to unleash hell on this town. Keane Agosti, Rafael Ortiz, and Jaxson West don't know it yet, but I am the devil who will bring that hell to their doorsteps—and take my father down right along with them.
I was born into a life that showed me nothing but pain. A toy, a pawn, to be used by my father, Maximillian Rossi. My brother, Kellan, was the only bright light in my dark world. Then one day, he was gone. Taken from me. And it's their fault. My brother's three best friends. Keane, the leader of the group whose quest for power will be his undoing. Jax, the twisted psycho who lost his soul a long time ago. And Rafe, my ex-boyfriend who shattered my heart and left me when I needed him the most.
Now it's my turn to descend into the darkness. I will destroy them all, burn the Rossi house to the ground, and then rise from the ashes.
Are you ready for me, boys? This savage princess is coming for you.
Thief by S. Massery
How many bad choices does it take to ruin a life? I’m about to find out. I came to Sterling Falls for a fresh start. Instead, I stumbled into a blood-soaked secret—three masked men, a dead body, and the kind of danger you don’t walk away from.
They run the town’s infamous underground fight club. And when they catch me watching what I was never meant to see, they give me a simple choice: disappear… or suffer.
I should’ve run. Now I’m broke, desperate, and in debt to someone even worse. But no matter how hard I try to stay away, the three of them keep circling closer.
Jace is ice and cruelty—he brings me to my knees just to see if I’ll break. Wolfe is chaos in a leather jacket. Biker royalty with a haunted gaze, and the only one who ever makes me feel safe. And Apollo—with his easy smile and velvet lies—is temptation I can’t afford.
I didn’t mean to unravel their secrets. I didn’t mean to fall for any of them.
But now it’s too late. Because the deeper I get, the more dangerous it becomes—and the more I realize I’m not the only one being hunted.
Echoes of Silence by Indie Black
A dull-eyed girl, broken and alone, living in a world drenched in violence. Her story begins with bloodline sins, and no one to save her from the echoes of silence.
I haven’t spoken in four years. Not a scream, not a cry, not a whimper. I learned a long time ago—the punishment for speaking out against my tormentors isn’t a price I’m willing to pay. Not again.
Forged in darkness and controlled in silence, I was caged for other’s twisted perversions. It wasn’t until four dark knights swooped in and sliced through the ropes binding me that I was finally free.
They were supposed to be my saviors, but I was wrong. So. Incredibly. Wrong. The men who purchased me from my father are monsters—worse than those who haunt the shadows of my past.
At first, they whispered sweet promises of freedom, but now they say I’m theirs to keep. To own. I’m nothing more than a prisoner once again. Only this time, I might not need saving. Especially when their brand of darkness soothes the shattered pieces of my poisoned soul, and sets my desire for vengeance ablaze.
Charming Devils by Katie May
Five years ago, they made my life a living hell. They teased me, abused me, and called me a witch.
Little did they know...
Now, I’m back for my senior year of high school. New hair, new style, new personality. I’ll no longer be the weird girl hiding in the shadows. Instead, I’ll embrace all of my darkness.
The goal?
Revenge on the boys—the men—who bullied me. The football star, the musician, the bad boy, and the class president. I’ll make them pay for what they did to me.
One spell at a time.
Buckle up, boys and girls. You’re not going to like me by the time this book ends. I never said I’m the hero of the story, did I? I’m just the crazy bitch with a voodoo doll.
Uppercut Princess by E.M. Moore
Vengeance is NOT my middle name.
It’s in my blood. It’s tattooed on my skin. It’s with me 24/7. The thing that drives me.
It’s also what brings me to Rawley Heights. No one would willingly come here otherwise. But me? I don’t have a choice.
Here, everyone fears the Heights Crew mafia. Crime. Sex. Murder. Dangerous men with dangerous attitudes.
And they’re exactly who I need to get my vengeance from.
I have my work cut out for me, but don’t worry, they have no idea who they’re dealing with.
I’m counting on it.
Rage by K.A. Knight
My husband killed me.
Then he screwed his way through the city, the only problem? I didn’t stay dead.
It seems killing me woke something deep inside, something so dark and buried so deep I never knew it was there.
I don’t know what I am, I don’t really care. All I can think about is revenge, even as the monsters in the dark start to surround me.
Their horns and black eyes, mouths filled with fangs claiming I am theirs.
My monsters will have to wait, he will regret the day he crossed me.
Are you scared of the dark? You should be.
Bloody Princess by Helen Scott & Zoey Shelby
My sister’s death was ruled an accident, but it was all a lie...
They’re the kings of Welhurst University, heirs to the most powerful, corrupt, and ruthless families in Ascendence Bay. Each of them is stunningly gorgeous, rich, and talented.
Nobody is that perfect. All of them hide dark, dangerous secrets. And I’m going to expose them. I’m going to make everyone see exactly who they are. Murderers.
I have skills they would never expect, and I plan on using my talents to make the Boys of Ascendence Bay pay in blood for the loss of my sister. I’ll do whatever it takes to get them to crack and confess to their crimes.
The closer I get to finding out which mafia heir is the killer, the more I realize I didn't know my sister as well as I thought. Big, ugly secrets come to light that will change my family forever.
But what's worse is the enemies I thought I needed to destroy are more complex and tempting than I ever imagined.
Can I survive the truth being uncovered or will I be buried by the lies?
Filthy Rich Boys by C.M. Stunich
Break the new girl. That should be easy, right? Trash like her doesn’t belong at Burberry Prep.
No, Marnye Reed is going down, and we plan to make a spectacle out of it.
Let’s see who can make her fall in love first. Bet’s on. Any takers?
Take on the filthy rich boys. They’re the idols of the school, veritable gods on earth.
Old Money. New money. A rising star.
These guys are nothing like the ones at my old school.
I might come from nothing, but I’m determined to be someone, and I won’t let them get in my way.
They say they’ll make my life a living hell; I think they mean to keep that promise.
Dark Fae by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti
What do a heartless Dragon Shifter, a cold-blooded Basilisk, an arrogant Lion Shifter and a brooding, tattooed Harpy have in common…? Me.
Elise Callisto. Vampire. Angel of vengeance. And a girl on a mission to destroy one of them for murdering my brother. I just don’t know which one did it yet.
When I interrogated/accidentally killed a Werewolf who was high on a new and dangerous drug called Killblaze, his final words painted a dark reality for me. The King of Aurora Academy killed my brother. The trouble is, there’s four kings at the academy and each of them have motive and bloodthirsty natures.
Aurora Academy isn’t a place for the faint of heart. To put it lightly, my town is the cesspit of Solaria where the most cutthroat Fae in the kingdom reside. The school itself is divided by the two gangs who run this city. The Lunar Brotherhood and the Oscura Clan. And guess what? Two of the kings run the gangs at the academy, their hatred for each other so fierce I hear a day doesn’t go by without blood being spilled in the halls.
I might be a petite, lilac-haired girl who looks like I couldn’t hurt a fly, but they haven’t been introduced to my fangs yet. And they don’t know why I’m really here. Or that I’ll do whatever it takes to bring down the Fae who took my flesh and blood from me.
I don’t believe in fate, but I do know this… the King who killed my brother is a dead man walking. And I’m prepared to sacrifice my heart, body and soul to ensure I get my revenge.
Kings of Chaos by Eva Ashwood
I was a good girl once, but now I dance with devils. Some people wear their heart on their sleeve. I wear vengeance like a suit of armor.
I’ve got a list with six names on it. Six people who wronged me, who hurt me, who took everything from me. Six people who turned me into the monster I am now.
And I’ve crossed off every name but one. One more name. One more death. Should be simple, right?
Yeah, you’d think so. But it turns out revenge is a messy business, and when I end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, I royally piss off four brutal, twisted, gorgeous men. Gage, Priest, Ash, and Knox.
Lucky for me, the last name on my list is someone they’ve got their own grudge against, so instead of killing me, they offer me a deal. They’ll give me a chance to exact my vengeance, and in exchange, all they want is…
Me.
I’m not stupid. I’ve played this game before. Even though they've agreed to help me, I know they want to punish me too. They want to toy with me. To let their demons loose on me.
But maybe these Kings of Chaos have let my pretty face fool them. Because I'm just as vicious as they are. And I’ve got demons of my own.
Scorned Princess by Eva Chance
Hell hath no fury...
I thought I was trading one evil for a lesser one. Marry a man I might eventually love, forge an alliance between his gang and my father's, and get out from under Dad's sadistic thumb.
Turns out my fiancé has other plans. Like slaughtering me and my entire family the night before the wedding.
I make it out alive, left with nothing but a thirst for vengeance. But if I want to crush the prick who betrayed me, I have to turn to the biggest pricks of them all.
Hot, cocky, and dangerous, Wylder Noble and his men rule Paradise Bend. Their help doesn't come cheap. I've got to prove I'm strong enough to deserve it.
Whatever they throw at me, I can take it. No taunting words or scorching looks will break the wall around my heart.
They think I'm made of glass? I'm a girl of shards that can cut you to the bone.
Before this is over, someone's going to bleed. And this time, it won't be me.
Pretty Lies by R.E. Bond
My dad had always been a scheming man, and his new rich girlfriend hadn’t seen him coming. He upended my life in Hawthorne Heights and dragged me to Ashburn Valley without much warning.My new home came with a fancy new academy education, and his girlfriend's entitled son.
Lucky me, right?
Caden and his friends were assholes, so I couldn’t let my guard down. Until I did and they made me feel like I belonged in their world after all. I never meant to fall for them, and I should’ve known better than to trust them. Never trust a rich boy, let alone four.
One good thing comes out of it though since it led me back to cage fighting. Beating on others wasn’t going to hurt my dad or Caden, but it was a start. It helped that one of the street crew members that ran the fights was hot and really good in bed. It was just a shame that his boss wanted me dead.
My name’s Rory Donovan, and I’d do anything to protect those I cared about. The blood on my hands and the dead body should’ve proven that.
Shadowed Heart by Candace Wondrak
Murder. Payback. Chaos. If you’re looking for a story about unicorns and rainbows, this ain’t it. Now, if you’re in the mood for something a little psychotic and a whole lot crazy, then you’re in the right place.
I’m Lola Harding. My parents used to call me their angel, but they’re dead now. For the last few years, I’ve made a name for myself—the Night Slayer. I stalk the clubs and make sure anyone with greedy hands and stupid ideas is permanently taken off the streets.
One night I happen to kill the son of a crime lord, and then everything changes.
They’re going to kill me, I know, but until they do, I’m to be their pet, wear their leash and do whatever they say. The Lucianos are a family full of psychos and hatred… and I just might fit in better than I ever did anywhere else.
And as a bonus? The other sons are the handsome and dangerous type, and even though they despise me for what I did to their brother, even though there might not be any light left for me at the end of this tunnel… I plan to enjoy the ride.
Buckle up, b*tches, because it’s about to get wild.
Who Breaks First by Eva Ashwood
Once upon a time, I fell in love with three best friends. This is the story of how they became my enemies.
Trent, Reese, and West. The Icons.
Those three names are seared on my heart, imprinted on my soul. I gave a piece of myself to each of them before lies and betrayal drove us apart.
But when I’m offered a full-ride scholarship to the prestigious Clearwater University, I can’t say no… even if it means facing down the demons from my past.
Even if it means being drawn back into a world of obsession, vengeance, and desire.
Even if it means the Icons will do everything they can to break me.
But I’m not the same girl I once was, and if they think I’ll be an easy target for their wrath…
We'll just see who breaks first.
