The Black Coats, by Colleen Oakes
The enigmatic Black Coats have been
exacting vengeance on men who have hurt girls and women for years.
But as the balancings escalate in
brutality, Thea’s clear-cut mission begins to unravel and she must decide just
how far she is willing to go for justice.
Because when the line between
justice and revenge is paper thin, it’s hard not to get cut.
“This satisfying feminist tale is so fierce… An explosive
thriller that is all too timely in the #MeToo era.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“There is fun to be had between the action-packed training sequences [and] dashes of romance, but Coates’ main message is about trauma, abuse, who deserves an opportunity for redemption, and who gets to decide… Enjoyably over the top, with some great ethical questions to explore.” (ALA Booklist)
“The Black Coats provide[s] pure satisfaction with the idea of fighting back against misogyny and sexism… a relevant read in the #metoo era.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)
