Books like Wretched

Wretched, and proud of it. Emily McIntire's Wretched is built on revenge, with a grey hero and rivals locked in orbit. Pitch-black, incendiary. Expect vengeance, cruelty and obsession. McIntire writes villains as leading men without blinking. Save it for when you want a story where payback and desire are the same weapon, aimed at the same heart.
