Remember my previous post highlighting the shiny, Kindle Unlimited gems that can be found when you look past the slimy fog of bookstuffing? Well, you guys seemed to like that, so I’m back with more KU recs! I was indeed born this selfless. Mother Theresa who?!
This time, I’m serving you badass heroine realness, AKA four romance novels available in Kindle Unlimited that have powerful heroines. Don’t think this is necessarily a paranormal list, though; heroines don’t need superpowers to qualify as powerful, at least not to me. Even the ladies on this list who do have superpowers aren’t here purely because of those skills.
Often, ‘power’ is thought of in a way that prioritises violence—like, if a character can wipe out cities in the blink of an eye, she’s automatically a badass. And yeah, maybe she is… but maybe she’s not. Because being naturally great at mass-murder isn’t power in and of itself; the important part is the inner strength (whether that’s courage, tenacity, loveeeeee, or whatever) that allows her to murder responsibly. Or to not murder at all! You get what I’m saying here, right? No? Maybe?
Practical examples work best, so let’s get into it!
