Loving the Villain is Fun

I love when the guy you think is a villain in a book ends up being the love interest and not really the villain at all. And in Throne of Nightmares, the fmc – Lore Brimstone – is a librarian and lover of book villains. I love her quote about loving the villain!

“No one wants to read about normal, well-adjusted people. They want the misunderstood villain with the sassy pet dragon. Tell me you’re not more intrigued by the man who will torch the world for his true love rather than sacrifice himself for the greater good. The first creates glorious tension; the second makes you bawl until you’re a snotty, distraught wreck, lying catatonically on your bed, staring at the ceiling while wondering when you became such a masochist. No one wants to watch their true love die a horrible, slow death, even if it’s honorable.”
