Hi, I have been searching for revenge novels to read. I’m thinking about writing one of my own, but I think it’s best for me to first read a few already out there to get acquainted with the genre. I have a basic plot too, but I am debating whether it’s the right genre for me. I only want to write in that genre if I enjoy reading it. Otherwise, I want to go back to the drawing board and shift focus elsewhere. Thanks!
I’ve not read many revenge novels, but here are a few that might be considered revenge/vengeance:
Previous books and/or authors that you’ve enjoyed: And Then There Were None, Great Gatsby, A Time to Kill, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Red Rising, I guess you can consider Song of Ice & Fire a revenge novel?
Previous books and/or authors you don’t care for: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (didn’t enjoy writing style),

Definitely check out The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas and The Stars My Destination by Bester (which is a nod to TCoMC)
*Razorblade Tears* by S.A. Cosby.
