Consensual Violence

Some people say pro wrestling is fake—Krysten Moore knows better.

Shy, dog-loving, and hungry for a better life, Krysten reinvents herself as a fierce lucha libre star in Mexico. But when her trusted trainer—once a wrestling legend—betrays her with brutal violence, her dream career becomes a fight for survival.

From the shadows of El Paso to the blood-soaked rings of Juarez, Krysten’s quest for vengeance explodes into a savage war against corrupt promoters, cartel killers, and anyone complicit in her abuse. Armed with grit, rage, and her wrestling persona, she delivers her own brand of justice—one bone-crushing blow at a time.

Consensual Violence is a relentless tale of revenge, redemption, and the dark side of lucha libre, from Del James, author of The Language of Fear.
