This is another trope that I’m 100% not sorry for loving. Just like the ‘touch her and you die‘ trope, it does walk a problematic tight rope but this is fictional okay? Leave me be.
So I did a little search around for people’s morally grey recommendation lists, I had a look on Tiktok, instagram and Goodreads, to make sure I got ideas from everywhere. If I’ve read it, the review will be linked.

Any of these that I haven’t read, it appears I already own, so that’s definitely helped me re-prioritise my tbr. Do you have any books to add to the list?
