2025 goal: 8 Action heroine books read

1, A Smuggler's Conscience: Mission 2 three stars
2, Bounty Four stars. A very good beginning to a superhero/cop mystery series.
3, Scarlet Huntress A twisted retelling of the Red Riding Hood but a bit too YA for my taste. Two stars.
4, Awaken the Daughter An alternate history urban fantasy book where the main character Eleanor can see the future. Three stars
5, Real Dangerous Girl Kim Oh is a nerdy accountant girl. Unfortunately the writing style didn’t work for me. Two stars
6, Damned The final book in the historical fantasy series set 1500s. An excellent ending to the series. Eleanor has grown up to be an action heroine. Four stars
7, Star Wars: Tatooine Ghost Princess Leia is a great action heroine. Four stars for a Star Wars book.
8, Barkson's Journey It's the second book in the fantasy/steampunk series but it can be read without reading the first because it has a different main character. Lucinda Barkson is very handy with pistols and knives.

Ill be in for some, but I dont know that I could live up to any number. I may be lucky if I read 20 books all year, and I am not sure they will all be action female books. We'll see.
