Top 10 Tuesday – Favorite Villains (Happy Halloween!)

Hey hey, it’s Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is run by The Broke and the Bookish, and I’ve loved making it a regular post on this blog! This week, we’re talking about our favorite villains, which was honestly a little bit difficult for me! I read so much contemporary and romance and contemporary romance that the “villains” aren’t always established people, if that makes any sense. But no matter – I came up with ten and I’m excited to talk about them! Let’s jump right into this fun Halloween list!

Top 10 Favorite Villains

1. Cartaxus in This Mortal Coil by Emily Suvada
2. Kiko’s mom in Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman [review]
3. The royal family in Beasts Made of Night by Tochi Onyebuchi (which is out today!) [review]
4. Graywytch in Sovereign by April Daniels [review]
5. Tom Cruz (lol) in No Good Deed by Goldy Moldavsky [review]
6. The Darkling in the Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
7. The Red Queen in Alice: The Wanderland Chronicles by J.M. Sullivan [review]
8. The Moriarty family in The Last of August by Brittany Cavallaro [review]
9. The Devourer in Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova [review]
10. Utopia in Dreadnought by April Daniels [review]

The obvious villain that I left out is Lord Voldemort, but I try to keep these lists to books I’ve read recently. Voldy is always going to be a great, complex villain, but everyone knows that. I don’t need to constantly talk about him. 🙂

How/what are your favorite villains?

Happy reading!
