A Farewell to Our Year of Villainy & Its Grand Finale

.
Yep, it's a wrap on our recent Grand Finale and the Year of Villainy in Fantasy -- chiefly fantasy books, although I think a few outliers may have crept in from film and shows. :D

I include the full list of Year of the Villain posts below -- but I've particularly enjoyed the recent Grand Finale and joining with AK Wilder and Amanda Arista to feature a villain from each of our writing.

Just to recap, the three posts were:

AK Wilder & Rhiannon in Curse of Shadows

Rhiannon tells herself she commits her villainy "for the good of the realm."

Kim's wonderful 'Amassia' series

And then we had:
.

Amanda Arista & Spencer Haverty in Diaries of an Urban Panther

.
Spencer, yeah well -- he slithers into our heroine's life in the guise of a lie...

Amanda's fun & feisty 'Urban Panther' series

Then finally, I gave you:
.

Helen Lowe & Arcolin from Daughter of Blood

Arcolin is evil with a human -- and handsome -- face.

The dark & magic-laden 'Wall Of Night' series

And that's the wrap -- three takes on villainy, rolling up the Year of Villainy in style, with some 'Fun With  Friends' along the way.

I'll leave you with that 'Compleat' List -- from 'go' to 'whoa':
