Yesterday for Top Ten Tuesday I picked my top ten favourite females of fiction – today I thought I’d match that with 10 super baddies!

1. Cersei Lannister, Game of Thrones, GRR Martin- speaks for itself really! Nasty, two faced, incestuous – you name it!
2. The White Witch, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis- well, I don’t suppose all witches are bad but the White Witch can be a bit impulsive with that old turning people into stone thing – plus she has a vicious pack of wolves and she’s trying to keep Narnia frozen in eternal winter.
3. Cruella DeVi, 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith – come on, she wants to kill ALL the puppies to make a coat.  And her name is Cruel Devil!
4. Kamala, Feast of Souls by Celia Friedman – This is an unusual one, Kamala is very ambitious, can’t blame her there – but her magic does have dire consequences for whatever poor soul she is using to obtain that magical spark!
5. Queen Kate from the Rebel Angel Series by Gillian Philip – she would separate the veil between mundanes and the fae – and it probably wouldn’t go well for us everyday regular people.
6. The Witch of the Waste from Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones – turned poor Sophie into an old woman – because she was jealous of her magic!
7. Chella from The Broken Empire series by Mark Lawrence – evil to the core, a Necormancer who basically works for the Dead King!
8. Catarina, Miserere  by Teresa Frohock – intends to leaves the hordes straight out of hell – nasty, mean and horrible to be sure!
9. Ash Orchard from The Damned by Andrew Pyper – the evil twin sister from hell! (Literally!)
10. Bellatrix Lestrange – don’t make me tell you who she is! (okay, a clue below)
