Top Ten Heroines in YA Today, as chosen by Mia HoddellI prefer books with strong female leads so here is a list of some of my favourite heroines. I like most of these because they are either strong willed, quick witted, take no prisoners or humourous characters.
1. Valkyrie Cain (aka Stephanie) from Skulduggery Pleasant – Derek
2. Darcie Lock from Ringmaster, Empty Quarter and Deadlock – Julia Golding
3. Liv Warren from Blood Bound (Unbound #1) – Rachel Vincent
4. Faythe from Stray (Shifters #1) – Rachel Vincent
5. Cassie Palmer –Touch the Dark (Cassandra Palmer #1) – Karen Chance
6. Cat Royal from Cat Royal Series – Julia Golding
7. Lauren from Girl Missing (#1) – Sophie Mckenzie
8. Willow from Angel – L. A. Weatherly
9. Wanda/Melanie Stryder from The Host – Stephenie Meyer
10. Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins

Title: Deadly to Love (Elemental Killers #1
Author: Mia Hoddell
There is a love that is so dangerous, so powerful, so intoxicating that it embraces your heart and smothers your mind until it leaves you defenceless.
Serena knew that but still, it didn't stop her. His name was Kai. He was the most beautiful, irresistible man she had ever encountered. Their attraction was too compelling to fight and she knew she would go to the end of the world beside him. That is love.
However behind the allure was hidden a deadly secret – a secret that threatened her fragile life... But secrets best left unsaid never remain hidden forever. When Kai reveals his true identity, she is exposed to a frightening world she had no idea existed. Controlled by powerful Elemental forces her life is placed in mortal danger.
Unbeknown to them, their lives have been entwined from the beginning and it leads her to discover an even greater secret about who she really is. As the pieces begin to unravel and death becomes a reality, Serena is forced to decide what is more important...her love or life.

About the AuthorMia Hoddell lives in the UK with her family and two cats. She spends most of her time writing or reading and her preferred genre is Young Adult, Paranormal Romance. Before 2009, Mia wouldn't even pick up a book and was more interested in sports. However she finally found some novels that captured her interest and developed a love of both reading and writing. Mia began with poems and after getting two published in separate anthologies she moved on to short stories. Although she enjoyed this, Mia found she had too much to tell with too little space, so later on she created her first series The Wanderer Trilogy and from there other ideas have emerged which she hopes to turn into novels as well. Elemental Killers is her second series and book two will be out soon.

ReplyDeleteIs it really bad that the only book I've read from that list is The Hunger Games? It probably is...
ReplyDeleteMy friend has been bugging me to read The Host, though, so I should come around to that soon.
I'm sure they're all brilliant choices!
Deadly to Love looks really good and I think I'll be buying it when it comes out. Great stop! :)
