This week’s TTT topic, bad guys you love to hate, was a no-go for me. I read a lot of suspense, and I usually cheer when the bad guys die or at least get put in jail. 😉 These books generally feature serial killers, terrorists, drug/human traffickers — basically seriously bad bad guys. I did a search of my posts with bad guys and creep-factor as the search terms. Yikes! I found a few that won’t give you nightmares, but some need a nightlight on as you read. I hope you find a book with bad guys to love.

They are! Just what a bad guy should be. 😉
So bad they’re almost good!
So bad they are chillingly real. 😳
An interesting list. I will have to look into them further!

Thanks for sharing your TTT!

Hope you love it!
Nice take on the prompt! I sometimes love a very bad character, but it’s all in how they’re written.

Yes! Thanks for including your TTT!
The titles and covers all give creepy vibes. A book I read a few years ago that is full of bad people (men and women), is Sold by Patricia McCormick.

I’ll look into that one.
Great list!! I have read most of these 🙂
I knew you probably had. We have similar reading tastes.
I’m a suspense and thriller reader as well and love a strong terrible character. I don’t know any of these books or authors – that may have to change! I’ll check them out.

I hope you do. And thanks for sharing your TTT.
Same. I like to see villains get what’s coming to them! I haven’t read any of these books, but I love mysteries and thrillers so I’ll have to take a closer look at them.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
