17. Pick your own dangerous hero-related phrase to spell (minimum 12 letters)

My end of year challenge stats.
I ended up reading a number of books this year that I thought would have dangerous hero’s in, but in actual fact I felt that they weren’t very dangerous at all! Ha!
Therefore I only read 4 books that qualified for this challenge - I’ll have better Dangerous hero reading luck next year I hope!

Option D--Paranormal Dangerous Heroes:

Read: 4/12 books

3.Werewolf or shapeshifter by Hettie Ivers 30/4/2018

5.Immortal Warrior 27/3/2018

6.Alien/From Another World or Dimension 11/9/2018

9.Genetically-Enhanced or altered hero (powers are not magical but scientific) 6/10/2018

Well done everyone on your challenges :-)
