Good question. Blayce the Gallen from Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce. I think that his willingness to create such horrific machines without a conscience is scary.

The worst has to be Count Olaf from a Series of Unfortunate Events. I still get creeped out when I think about how easily he always tricked everyone.

Definitely Valentine Morganstern. Pretending to love and care for someone only use them is the greatest treachery of them all.

Man everybody has picked all the goods ones! I have to agree with Umbridge I hate her! I also thought Klaus from Vampire diaries was a good villain, even though you couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. I also agree with Neferet and the Strigoi as well. Thanks for the giveaway!

My pleasure! There are still others out there. I’m thinking maybe Thiago (the white wolf) in Daughter of Smoke and Bone. It makes my blood crawl that Karou had to masquerade as him.

But he has redeeming qualities to him. I know he comes off cold and hateful in the first two books, but I can’t hate him completely by the end of the series. Still, in the first 2 books – I wanted to smack him a few times. 🙂
