Excellent but index missing!

This was a great discussion of the aspects to think about when creating believable villains. I'm going to read the other books by Sacha Black. Only negative is that the appendix wasn't included!

Brilliantly Villainous, wickedly read

Sacha has written a book that really breaks down what makes a great villain that should be part of every authors toolkit and it was read with her infectious personality. Totally brilliant!
