Welcome to Larissa's Life is hosting a 5 week, 7 themes, 7 winners giveaway. The first week is Powerful Chicks which I think is a good choice for the first theme. I think a good heroine can make or break a book. If the chick in the book is weak and helpless I do not admire her as much. I read books with strong female leads because I admire their strength and want to be like them.
Some of my favorite powerful chicks:
Cassie Palmer from Karen Chance
Cat from Jeaniene Frost
Anita Blake from Laurell K. Hamilton
Rachel Morgan from Kim Harrison
Elena from Nalini Singh
Who do you think are powerful chicks in books you have read?
