Im looking for books where the main character is bad, you can be either rooting for or against them. by islenska12 Related: SPOILERS FOR ALL THREE: Books that play with religion like ‘Midnight Mass’, ‘Fall of the House of Usher’ and ‘Jesus Christ: Superstar’ Looking for a sci-fi book that “could really happen” How much are The Will of the Many and Red Rising the same Looking for books like Rascal, Hatchet, Where the Red Fern Grows Looking for a book similar to Attack on Titan
