Yes, I am sure. The main character is pretty much unkillable, and being in some kind of laboratory where an evil scientist hurts her in some way is a frequent occurence.
In one novel she is enslaved and marked with some kind of brand which she heals away and this brand is reapplied in a more and more painful way again and again. That kind of brutality is really a recurring theme in the novels.
