Top Ten Characters Who Irritate Me

I wrote this a bit ago, and I'm a bit sad about it, after reading discussions about the unlikable female character.  Nevertheless, how does one limit this to just 10?  Sadly for me, there are often characters who irritate me.  I decided to keep the list to just main characters, because if I didn't, this list would be endless. Here are some of the worst offenders:

1.  Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell

There was absolutely nothing likable about Kit.  She's one of those people I would hate in real life, even if she wasn't a serial killer.  She a hypocrite, and one of those people that thinks they are smarter than everyone else.

2.  Evernight (Evernight #1) by Claudia Gray

Bianca wasn't too bad in the first book, but by the end of the series I wanted to punch her in the face if I could.  She is just immature and stupid.

3.  The Madness Underneath (Shades of London #2) by Maureen Johnson

 I am including this one, although Rory has the chance to be redeemed in the 3rd book.  I liked her in the 1st book, and hated her in the 2nd.  I understand she went through a lot, but I don't want to read about a character who feels sorry for herself all the time.

4.  My Life After Now by Jessica Verdi

I think the reason Lucy annoyed me so much is because she was filled with so much drama.  It makes sense for the character, and I appreciated that it made sense.  Unfortunately she was just too much for me.

5.  Natural Born Angel (Immortal City #2) by Scott Speer

I liked Maddy in the first book.  I thought the character was one you could root for.  I hated her in the second book.  I was actually hoping for bad things to happen to her.
 

6.  Our Song by Jordanna Fraiberg

I found Olive to be nuts.  I don't know if it was on purpose, but her personality grated on me.  I think it prevented me from enjoying the book.

7.  The Selection (The Selection #1) by Kiera Cass

I have repeatedly said I have a love/hate relationship with this book.  America is one of the main reasons why.  She sucks.  I just can't get behind her, and find her annoying and stupid. 

8.  What the Spell? (Life's a Witch #1) by Brittany Geragotelis

Probably one of the most unlikeable characters I have come across. Brooklyn is someone who will do anything for popularity.  She is immature, annoying, and stupid.
 

9.  Breaking Dawn (Twilight #4) by Stephenie Meyer

I have a ton of issues with Bella, and I'm trying to stick with that.  I can go on and on about why Bella sucks, but I'm sure she will make many people's list.  Bonus points for Renessame, who might just be the most pointless character in the history of books.  Man just writing about this book is irritating the crap out of me.

10.  The Space Between Trees by Katie Williams

It's one thing to be weird and different.  Evie is so strange, awkward, and just plain weird that I couldn't connect with her at all.  She was irritatingly weird.  Her weirdness is probably the only thing I remember from this book.
