For She is Wrath by Emily Varga
4.0

This was a Count of Monte Cristo retelling mixed with some Pakistani mythology which was cool.

“The ones closest to you will betray you the most.”

The FMC Dania is stuck in prison after being betrayed by the one she loves. She eventually escapes a la Count of Monte Cristo style and on her road to revenge, Dania lists her people to kill daily like Aria did in GoT. It’s basically her mantra for the day.

The tropes in this are enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers as well as only one bed towards the end.

“The problem when someone you loved betrayed you, was that you had a lifetime of good memories with them you had to examine in a different light.”

“I want my fucking cat back.”

I did not guess that twist though. That’s a lot of hate to carry your whole life.
