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!

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!
