It also deals with vampires and werewolves and the female character is very well written.
And the writer has really put in some work to make the supernatural beings different than they're usually portrayed in most of the contemporary works.

Oh, I've read the 'Hunted' by Meagan Spooner as well. The protagonist is indeed a remarkable female. I also know Lynette Eason's Elite Guardian series. I like it enough. So I guess I have to try Jennifer Donnelly. Thanks for the advice.Pluma wrote: ↑09 Sep 2020, 19:09 I haven't read any of the books that you mentioned, but some fantasy-themed books with strong female protagonists that I’ve enjoyed include ‘Step Sister’ by Jennifer Donnelly and Meagan Spooner’s books ‘Hunted’ and ‘Sherwood’. Some crime/thriller books focused on female protagonists include Lynette Eason’s Elite Guardians series; however, those also have a Christian/religious element, so if that’s not your cup of tea you may not want to give them a try.

It's just a great journey to see Ripley go from an Average Female Space Truck Driver to a badass destined to fight one of the deadliest Alien Race. The character of Ripley was one of the first truly strong Woman in Movie History, and she is that in the Novels as well.
And don't think the Novels are bad just because they are novelizations, usually I avoid those since they tend to be mediocre at best, but Foster really manages to bring more to the novels than were even in the Movies.
And if you liked them go have a look at some of the other Novels set in the Alien-World, many feature great female Protagonists. If you would want to continue, next I'd go with "The Complete Aliens Omnibus: Volume One", all three include a strong female Protagonist.

Sally Lockhart is a book series by Philip Pullman about a smart detective who solves fascinating mysteries. I really like this series because it goes beyond just the mysteries themselves and often include some social criticism.
Boudica, by Manda Scott, tells the story of a historical icon. Boudica is a Celtic queen who dares to challenge the Roman rule and tries to free her people.
Those are two book series really present complex and strong female characters instead of just putting women fighting to show their strength as many stories do.

by J.L. Haynes. There's a female protagonist and it's really fun to read about her. The way she acts in the face of danger is simply inspiring.
