Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Villains. Rather than highlight specific characters, here are ten books whose titles I think give off villainous vibes. Links from the title will take you to my review.
- Evil in High Places by Rory Clements
- The Dark Isle by Clare Carson
- The House at Devil’s Neck by Tom Mead
- Viper in the Nest by Georgina Clarke
- That Which May Destroy You by Abda Khan
- The Mouthless Dead by Anthony Quinn
- The Map of Bones by Kate Mosse
- Estella’s Revenge by Barbara Havelocke
- The Montford Maniac by M.R.C. Kasasian
- His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet
What Cathy Read Next... 
I haven’t read any of these myself, but they indeed give off villainious vibes!
