Bout of Books 23 - Day 3

Hello book nerds!

Back at it for Day 3 of Bout of Books round 23. I can't believe how much reading I'm doing even though I have a ton of work to do. I am very proud of myself. Doing this readathon is reminding me of how much I can really read in a week.
Bout of Books
For those of you who have never heard of Bout of Books, here's some quick info about it:

Let's knock out this challenge for the day...

Challenge

Who are your favorite literary bad guys? Can be a villain, a not-so-good-guy, or anti-hero.

Hmm, this required me to really think about the books I've read. I decided to share 5 of them:

  1. Sorcha from The Falconer by Elizabeth May. As I have just finished this book, I have to include her. She is an evil, twisted fae that likes to play mind games with my babies Aileana and Kiaran. I hate her and I hope she dies in one of the next two books.
  2. Rajah Tarek from The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King. Another book I finished during this readathon. Rajah Tarek is a major ass-hole who only wanted his first love back by killing many others. He didn't have any love for anyone. He was a twisted man through and through.
  3. Mr. Shaw from The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkins. Who wouldn't hate a father that uses their child for their own twisted reasons?! I hated him!
  4. Anima from The Queen of Zombies by Gena Showalter. A killer through and through with a twisted mindset of "saving" humanity.
  5. Zach and Demetrius from The Beautiful Ashes by Jeaniene Frost. They were both evil, stupid and annoying.
These are just some of my few favorite literary villains. I recommend each book that I mentioned as they are all good.

Who's your favorite literary villain or bad guy?
