Dorian Grey form The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe worst demons we carry around are within ourselves, and we can definitely be the authors of our complete destruction. It\u2019s something that always hit me about this book and its hero\/villain\/beast. A study on human behavior and drives at its best.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gabriel from A Bad Breed by Kat Ross<\/strong><\/span>
\nOh sweet Jesus, how much I loved this man. I reviewed the book, if you\u2019re interested. In here, I\u2019ll just say that never the line between a villain\/beast (literally) and hero were more blurred. Gabriel is a hot mess, one you love to hate and keep coming for more. He kidnaps the Heroine to get back to her brother, who he hates. He is a necromancer. His hands are far, so far from clean. And yet\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every villain in the Lord of The Rings<\/strong><\/span>
\nVery little to add here. From the creepingly cute Gollum, whose only fault was finding the ring, all the way to the super bad guy Sauron, through Nutzgals and Saruman. They are all perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Bio:<\/strong>
\nBeach bum and country music addicted, Viviana lives in a small Floridian town with her husband and her son, her die-hard fans and personal cheer squad. She spends her days between typing on her beloved keyboard, playing in the pool with her boy, and eating whatever her husband puts on her plate (the guy is that good, and she really loves eating). Besides beaching, she enjoys long walks, horse-riding, hiking, and pretty much whatever she can do outside with her family.<\/p>\n

\"\"GUNS FOR ANGELS by Viviana MacKade<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ann
\nMy sister was all the family I had. She was taken from me and now, someone wants me dead, too. Not sure why.
\nI\u2019m sure I\u2019m not going to give my life up, though. I\u2019m not going to let them get away with my sister\u2019s murder.
\nThe new me will try, anyway.
\nYou see, when she was alive I could live in brightness and peace. Now I have to accept the darkness within me. After all, isn\u2019t life about balance? Ironically, the man who can teach me how to embrace the shadows is broken, hopeless, and angry. Mark is also the only one I trust to lead me through my heart\u2019s night, and back into the light.
\nThe one I trust to keep us alive.<\/p>\n

Mark
\nA favor to a teammate: pick up two girls in trouble, take them to the Team\u2019s safehouse. Should have been easy. It was not.
\nThen someone killed one of my team, one of my brothers. Now it\u2019s personal.
\nThey want me, too. I can deal with that. But they want Ann. The only person who cut through me, who woke me, who grabbed my hand and guided me back into life one smile at the time.
\nI\u2019ll be damned if I let them have anything.
\nNot. One. Damned. Thing.<\/p>\n

From NY to sunny Miami, Ann and Mark run into a maze of lie, betrayal, and death, where love is the only, terrifying certainty. And when truth unravels, they will have to risk all to survive.<\/p>\n
