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.
