    I specialize in this type of book, so feel free to avoid it. The first one is all about the protagonist's self-interest, perfectly matching the title. Reading it is as enjoyable as drinking a sugary drink [laughs]. The second one is by Night Wind and Rain, written by a certified author, it's incredibly twisted. The third one, you can tell from the title that it's a dark story, highly recommended!!!
