Top 5 Wednesday Independent Ladies

I discovered Top 5 Wednesday in the blog Shades of Paper. It is a Goodreads group now currently run by Samantha and Lainey, where each week they give you a topic and you talk about 5 books that fit that category.
The topic of today is Independent Ladies, favorite leading ladies who aren't distracted from getting shit done by their love interest.
This list is not in any particular order.

Izzy - The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare

Lia - The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson
