 I didn't put bold on the letters here bc I'm lazy af. So better if you go to my blog post. 
 Review: I needless say this because this anthology was everyone's most anticipated read of the year, including mine. So generally, I had high expectation for this one, like way-over-the-top expectation. 
 Technically, I'm a good person, but I especially love villains. I believe that villains who are cunning, intelligent, witted-driven, murderous, and a psychotic motherfuckers, especially when they play the role as a protagonist. 
 I expected this book to be feeding my inner demon like people doing drugs, once you get it you're addicted. I expected this book to give me chills down my spine and had me screaming and gasping because the characters were ruffians and psychopaths. I needed to show my vehement love for this book so so so much and I expected to love ALL of these stories. However, I did none of that to all the stories, but some managed to keep me company. So, I expected high, but will you blame me? I hope you won't. These authors are well-respected and beloved since their books are THAT great. 
 Instead of going in order, I'll rate these stories from worst to best. Also, I'm not going to go into the stories analysis because some of them were boring so I skimmed and I noted my opinion down before I read them so what's the point of reading them anyway? The only one that I really really liked was Christine's. 
 Shirley & Jim by Susan Dennard: Okay. WTF. I hated this. There was nothing interesting about it. I really want to read/watch Sherlock Holmes, but have never got the chance too because life. Hah. This story ends my interest for Sherlock Holmes for good. It was confusing, it was boring. 1/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Sasha Alsberg: Not too bad to use Sherlock Holmes, to be honest. I liked this, but not the story. 
 Jack by Ameriie: The writing was okay, not what pulled me in but it was an easy read. The plot wasn't interesting personally because I originally was not really interested Jack and the Beanstalk anyway so what's the point. The villain did not impress me either. We didn't see her evilness throughout the story so there was nothing to be excited about. 1.5/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Tina Burke: Like I said, I'm not into Jack and the Beanstalk. 
 Marigold by Samantha Shannon: I wanted it to get out of the way; I liked that the villain in this one was better than Jack and the girl+girl power was great, but I think there was nothing that I could keep my mind on or liked for the rest of the plot. The writing wasn't the best either. 2/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Regan Perisse: Did not know who Erl-Queen was but googled her and she kidnaps little girl. Man, sounds amazing, villain. 
 The Blessing of Little Wants by Sarah Enni: I don't know what to say on this one. This is the kind of villain that I could identify as power-hungry and ambitious. It wasn't something that stood out, it was just a decent read. Like Marigold, it got to the very end for these characters to act out. 2.25/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Sopia Lee: Sounds... okay? 
 Indigo and Shade by April Genevieve Tucholke: This one was fine, too. It pulled me in and I enjoyed that Gaston's POV because he was so fleshed out and there were so much of him here from the original Beauty and the Beast. Although in this story, it felt virtually like he was the hero that's why the evilness felt very weak. 2.5/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Whitney Atkinson: Every time I see another Beauty and the Beast, I roll my eyes. 
 Julian Breaks Every Rule by Andrew Smith: I really enjoyed this because it was so easy to read and catch up with. I wanted to see a little bit more how Julian got things in his own hand and wrapped his story for good so I'm kind of disappointed. 3/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Raeleen Lemay: Sounds like a serial killer or some shit. Intriguing though. 
 Gwen and Art and Lance by Soman Chainani: This was the fastest one I got through and it was really enjoyable. I could see that this teen angst was his style. But Gwen did feel bad for manipulating Art and Lance and she admitted it so that was not the villain I was looking for?? 3.25/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Samantha Lane: This prompt sounds really cool man. 
 The Blood of Imuriv by Renee Ahdieh: The writing was incredible, really precise, detailed within the pages. The villain was a suddenly risen one and I really liked his silence and could understand to his jealousy. The plot was basic and too simple; I really didn't get the villainy vibe until the very end. 3.5/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Christine Riccio: Yes. This sounds awesome as well. 
 Death Knell by Victoria Schwab: I will say I did not enjoy this one as much as I expected to nor as the other previous two in the book (Beautiful Venom and The Sea Witch). The ending was a bit confusing and it was pretty short. I was so invested until it ended. Just like that. 3.75/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Jesse George: I think this was nice although not mind blowing. 
 You, You, It's All About You by Adam Silvera: I really really liked this one. The female scarred lord hidden by a mask was badass and cunning as fuck. And it was great for me reading the first time in second person POV. 4/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Catriona Feeney: A female teen crime lord... Sign me the fuck up. 
 The Sea Witch by Marissa Meyer: This was good, so so goood. I was familiar with the writing so it just pulled me in right away. I loved the detail on the scenery and the characters' emotion. The plot was crazy good with an amazing twist that I did not see coming. This one was wrapped up really well, too. 4.5/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Zoe Herdt: One of my favorite prompts here. Sounds so much like Marissa Meyer as well. 
 Sera by Nicola Yoon: After previously not liking two of Nicola Yoon's books, I wasn't very sure on this one. But I am proud to say that THIS WAS REALLY GOOD. I enjoyed it soooo much. It was different from the others as well because the character was BORN different and weird. I loved her wickedness and quietness in her character so much. I also loved the introduction where she was surrounded by the fire and people went literally crazy. Girl be like stealing the show tbh. 5/5 stars. 
 Prompt from Steph Sinclair and Kat Kennedy: Very simple, but Yoon managed to do that. 
 Beautiful Venom by Cindy Pon: I cannot describe how raw and real this was????? So incredibly stunning and well fleshed out. It was a wonderful blend of Greek mythology villain with Chinese culture (this one gave me this Chinese story vibe). There was an actual plot like the two above and also the innocence and vulnerability of the character. A+ on the fucking message and the writing. 5/5 stars 
 Prompt from Benjamin Alderson: This guy gave two words. The first was VERY interesting. 
 Overall: I don't like everything from this book. Oh hell some of them were even shit. But I'm glad I found great ones as well. This book still doesn't hit my level of wickedness I was expecting, though.
