My Top Five Kick-Ass Female Book Characters

Hello, fellow readers. Today's post won't be about book reviews, but book characters. I always admire strong main characters and this time I am going to talk about my favorite female detectives.

Angela Marsons' Kim Stone

Angela Marsons is less than two years on the writer's stage and she has already established herself as one of the top crime authors not just in the country, but even worldwide. Her main character in the series is Kim Stone, a detective who you don't wanna mess with.

D.I.Kim Stone is well described as a leading character. She is tough but also has a wild and also a soft side. She lives alone with no family but has a passion for motorbikes, which is unusual for a woman. Life was hard for her, and she built a wall around her feelings, but those same feelings sometimes find their way to rise on the surface.

With every other book in the series, Kim Stone is more than an anti-hero. We can peek into her past and see why is she the way she is. We can see the reasons that made her built the walls around her, but in the same time, we can see those walls breaking. But the disappearance of the walls doesn't make her vulnerable as she thinks. No, it makes her more human, it finally brings her emotions on the surface. In the first book, the author added a child with an illness. The second time, she added a dog. Man's best friend. Next, it is a criminal who is as much as smart as she is, a villain who pushes the right buttons. But Kim Stone is a fighter, a badass warrior whose buttons can not be pushed that easily. Kim Stone is one of my favorite characters, and can't wait to read about her next adventure.

The Whisperer-Donato Carrisi

This is the book that totally freaked me out. I was reading at 2.00 AM and  went to check if my front door was locked.

Six arms. Buried in the meadow. The arms belong to six little girls.Are the girls dead or alive? Where are the missing girls?
The criminologist Goran Gavila works on the case. Another member of the team is Mila Vasquez . Both, usually work alone. But now, they have to work as a team.
Goran Gavila has skeletons in the closet. He is a single parent to a boy since his wife left. He cannot understand why she left her own son.
Mila Vasquez has skeletons on her own. She was kidnapped as a child. She knows exactly what the missing girls are going through.
Five bodies are discovered, one after another. But there is no sixth body. Where is the sixth missing girl?
In the prison there is a new prisoner. He cleans after him so well, so there is no his DNA at all. No one knows who he is. No name, no fingerprints, no DNA. Nothing. His profile is sent to Goran Davila.

I loved this book. It turned me upside-down. There were so many twists, I couldn't put it down all night. Finished for one night (almost 600 pages). There were creepy moment that freaked me out (Is my front door locked?). There is very good psychological background in this story.

My opinion : 5 / 5
