If you enjoyed the dark morality and super-powered revenge in 'IBoy', 'Vicious' will be a perfect fit. It features characters who gain extraordinary abilities after near-death experiences, using their powers in morally ambiguous ways to settle old scores and navigate a complex world of anti-heroes.

For readers who appreciate the concept of ordinary people gaining extraordinary powers and using them in a gritty, high-stakes environment, 'Steelheart' delivers. It plunges you into a world where super-powered individuals are tyrants, and a young man driven by revenge seeks to take down the most powerful among them.

This book explores a world of superheroes and villains, much like 'IBoy' delves into a protagonist gaining powers in a real-world setting. It features a young protagonist with a secret identity, driven by a quest for justice and revenge, forcing readers to question the line between heroes and villains.

Similar to 'IBoy's' intense situation and young protagonists facing extreme circumstances, 'Gone' throws a group of teenagers into a terrifying new reality where everyone over 15 vanishes. They must learn to survive and cope with emerging powers in a world without adults, battling both external threats and their own moral dilemmas.

If the themes of power, societal change, and dark revenge resonated with you in 'IBoy', 'The Power' offers a compelling, more adult exploration. It imagines a world where women suddenly develop the ability to unleash electrical currents, leading to a dramatic shift in global power dynamics and intense moral questions.

While lacking the direct 'powers' element, 'Unwind' shares 'IBoy's' gritty, thought-provoking tone and focus on young people navigating a harsh, dystopian reality. It presents a chilling future where unwanted teens are 'unwound' for their body parts, forcing protagonists to fight for survival and question societal ethics.

For fans of 'IBoy's' raw portrayal of urban injustice and a young protagonist finding their voice against a corrupt system, 'The Hate U Give' is a powerful read. It follows Starr Carter as she grapples with trauma and speaks out after witnessing the fatal shooting of her best friend by a police officer.

If the technological aspect and the underdog hero using unique skills to navigate a dangerous world in 'IBoy' appealed to you, 'Ready Player One' offers a thrilling, if less dark, adventure. It features a protagonist who immerses himself in a virtual reality world to solve a complex puzzle and inherit a fortune, facing real-world consequences.

For readers drawn to 'IBoy's' dark, gritty atmosphere and a protagonist who operates outside conventional justice to right wrongs, this book is an excellent, more adult choice. It follows a disgraced journalist and a brilliant but troubled hacker as they uncover a web of family secrets and brutal crimes.

This book shares 'IBoy's' themes of a protagonist gaining powers from a traumatic event and grappling with their identity and morality. Adelina Amouteru, a survivor of a deadly fever, develops dark abilities and seeks revenge against those who wronged her, embracing an anti-hero journey.
