I’m not a fan of villains. I prefer the hero’s most of the time. Keep this in mind when you read my list.

This list is in no particular order.

Levana from The Lunar Chronicles
On the moment I’m obsessed with this series. I started Cinder this month and now I’m already reading Winter. In this series she seems like a villain who does evil things just because she is evil, but after reading Fairest I see it is not exactly like that. She grew up in an environment that made her like she is now, but she always did everything for her people. She might not realize she is making is worse for her people, but she had good intentions to start with. She had a messed up family and childhood that made her what she is today.

Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner.

1 Edward (twilight)

I was a fan of these books. I don’t know how many times I reread them. But now that I’m more of an adult I think he is kind of creepy and weird. If I would read them now again I wouldn’t have liked him at all.

Description

Jeth Seagrave and his crew are on the run. The ITA, still holding Jeth’s mother in a remote research lab, is now intent on acquiring the metatech secrets Jeth’s sister Cora carries inside her DNA, and Jeth is desperate to find the resources he needs to rescue his mother and start a new life outside the Confederation. But the ITA is just as desperate, and Jeth soon finds himself pursued by a mysterious figure hell-bent on capturing him and his crew—dead or alive.

With nowhere to run and only one play left, Jeth enters into a bargain with the last person he ever thought he’d see again: Daxton Price, the galaxy’s newest and most fearsome crime lord. Dax promises to help Jeth, but his help will only come at a price—a price that could mean sacrificing everything Jeth has fought for until now.
