So for the most part, I don't read anything where the sole POV of a villain.
I don't read straight romances usually although I think a little romance is a good thing in most books. I seem to like both male and female characters. Strong, witty, intelligent and with a sense of purpose are all things I admire. It is always amazing to me when an author can make me think of a zombie as a real being with real thoughts and motives if even for a short while.
