Every Tuesday over at the  The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  The topic this week is :

‘All About The Villains’

1. Voldemort – needs no explanation!  But, just in case.  Seriously bad wizard with dreams of taking over the world of wizarding!  Harry Potter series by J K Rowling.
2. Game of Thrones – evil siblings – what on earth could be worse.  GRRMartin’s Cersei and Jaime.
3. Sauron – this guy only has a disembodied eye – an eye – okay it’s a huge eye, but still!  and he’s still making a play for world domination with orcs and the like running amok.
4. Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series: Rayseline – fae.  In fairness she was kidnapped as a youngster and this has left it’s mark on her but even so – she plots!
5. The Seven Forges series by James Moore – Sa’ba Taalor – God touched and basically war machines.  They live to fight and seem to feel no fear.  A great creation by James Moore.
6. Hex  by Thomas Olde Heuvelt – Katherine van Wyler  – a witch, eyes and mouth sewn shut, she stalks the residents of Black Springs (where she was killed over 300 years earlier).  Nobody leaves Black Springs and lives to tell the tale.
7. The Kushiel books by Jacqueline Carey:  Melisande a scheming woman who always has the long game in mind.  A magnificent baddie!
8. Mrs Danvers from Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca.  You have to love Mrs Danvers – a woman obsessed.
9. The White Witch from C S Lewis’s The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe – how can you like a person who froze Mr Tumnus!?!  It’s just wrong!
10. Wesley Chu’s Tao series: The Genjix – a nation of aliens divided (The Genjix and the Prophus) and at war with each other here on earth – where they have to inhabit the bodies of people!
