Give Me Ladies With Blood On Their Hands

[redbrunja]

Does anyone have recommendations for books about bad girls? Girls who are not nice? Who prioritize their survival over other people?

Because I was reading the opening of Keturah and Lord Death and when I got to the part (about four pages in, so not a spoiler) where Death tells the heroine that he’ll spare her if she names someone she’s prefer to die in her place and she’s like, ‘oh, no, I couldn’t possibly!’ and I’m like, ‘BOOM, DONE WITH YOU, POLLYANNA.’ It could have been anyone! It could have been someone she hated! Someone she barely new! Sweet jesus, I can think of five people who I’d be willing to trade for my life WITHIN THIRTY SECONDS.

Also, since I know you like romance... Did you read Sins and Needles by Karina Halle? The protag is one of the few antiheroines I've found in the romance genre. She's a conwoman/grifter who tries to screw the hero in more ways than one.

I got halfway through, wasn't totally feeling it, my kindle app freaked out, and wouldn't let me redownload it. So, sort of?

Ah, gotcha. I'll try to think of others...
