Kick-A** Young Woman

I haven't done a list post in a while so I decided to make a list of books I've read recently with kick ass female main characters. Despite outside forces the main characters won't take no for a answer and set out to prove themselves against the odds stacked against them.At the end of the post I've included a song that I thinks goes with this post pretty well.Also at some point i'll probably post longer reviews on each of these books.

Title:Defy
Author: Sarah Larson
Alexa Hollen is a fighter. Forced to disguise herself as a boy and serve in the king's army, Alex uses her quick wit and fierce sword-fighting skills to earn a spot on the elite prince's guard. But when a powerful sorcerer sneaks into the palace in the dead of night, even Alex, who is virtually unbeatable, can't prevent him from abducting her, her fellow guard and friend Rylan, and Prince Damian, taking them through the treacherous wilds of the jungle and deep into enemy territory.

The longer Alex is held captive with both Rylan and the prince, the more she realizes that she is not the only one who has been keeping dangerous secrets. And suddenly, after her own secret is revealed, Alex finds herself confronted with two men vying for her heart: the safe and steady Rylan, who has always cared for her, and the dark, intriguing Damian. With hidden foes lurking around every corner, is Alex strong enough to save herself and the kingdom she's sworn to protect?

I adored this book and was drawn to Alexa's story.I just finished the sequel as well and it was as good as the first book.

I read the Treyelle series and was blow away by the troll universe Amanda H made this new series seems equaling as awesome with the universe expand .
