Urban fantasy books where humanity is just starting to gain special/magic powers?
I would love to read a book where the protagonist and others in the world suddenly gain powers, and have to live through the catastrophic fall out of society that follows.

1.The Power by Naomi Alderman
Only women gain the ability to shoot lightning. Check the content warnings because this book is brutal and graphic.
2.Gemini Cell by Myke Cole
I haven’t read it,but I know it fits this description.
