I am thinking of something like Count of Monte Cristo, it can be of modern or historical setting or even a mystery/thriller.
Is there any good novels based on the premise of revenge?

I mean, the Eliric saga is very based on revenge... if don't mind having your brain twisted.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
After the Flood by Kassandra Montag (I'll be honest, I didn't read this one but my friend who likes this genre raved about it)

Perhaps the Empire trilogy by Janny Wurts and Raymond E. Feist? The first book, Daughter of the Empire, begins with a young feudal nobility girl on the verge of taking vows of celibacy and joining the monastery of a goddess, only to be interrupted by news of the deaths of her father and brother from political treachery. She has to return home and plot to secure the future of her fallen House as well as avenge the deaths of her family against progressively stronger enemies. She uses everything from wits, to breaking tradition, to sacrificing her very body in order to counter the forces that caused the deaths of her family members.

There is also Mirror Dance by Lois McMaster Bujold, but it might be confusing since it's a book in the middle of a series. A discarded clone steals the identity of his progenitor in order to hijack a space mercenary army for a revenge attack on the illegal cloning facilities that produced him. Of course, everything goes haywire and disaster strikes as everything falls apart. And that's just the start of the book. Technically, the author said that she structured every book to be readable as a standalone since readers can encounter books in random order in bookstores. But you will miss a lot of the connections and emotional impact from not knowing the rest of the series. It's one of my favorite books, though, and won both the Hugo and Locus awards. It goes some really dark places emotionally. The book is some of her best writing combining witty (sometimes outright hilarious) prose with serious traumatic scenes. The humor only makes the pain hurt more.

I'd recommend the Crown of Shards trilogy by Jennifer Estep if you don't mind a fantasy setting. (Kill the Queen, Protect the Prince, Crush the King). The heroine survives a family massacre, then has to make sure she /stays/ alive and have a chance to avenge her family. A review described it as "Gladiator meets Game of Thrones: a royal woman becomes a skilled warrior to destroy her murderous cousin, avenge her family, and save her kingdom."

I really like it.

The Hook: A Novel by Victoria Helen Stone
Three betrayed women with revenge in common channel their fury in a twisting novel of psychological suspense.
A women's boxing class is the perfect place for betrayed wife Katherine to work out her aggression. Ideal too for Geneva, a teacher disgraced and ruined by a vengeful ex, and Luz, a software engineer battling an unjust system. Maggie, their instructor and mentor, guarantees she can right the wrongs they've endured. And if Katherine, Geneva, and Luz really want to unleash their rage, they must do what Maggie says.
Each woman's secret task has its risks. Call it justice. Call it revenge. It's bound to be worth it--if no missteps are made. As they take the leap to reclaim what they're owed, their lives are turned upside down. Because no one could have guessed that it would all end in murder.
Now, coming together to harness their power, Katherine, Geneva, and Luz fear that the game they've been playing is playing them.
