1. A Song of Ice and Fire Series by George R.R. Martin

ertacaltinoz

"Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you."

George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

There are a lot of characters that have Slytherin traits in these books, because in Westeros you better have a little bit of Slytherin in you or you die.

2. Six of Crows Series by Leigh Bardugo

Art-Ablaze

"A gambler, a convict, a wayward son, a lost Grisha, a Suli girl who had become a killer, a boy from the Barrel who had become something worse."  

Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

The characters in the Six of Crows duology are basically criminals, but that doesn't make them exactly bad people, just smart and with kinda greyish morals...

3. The Vampire Chronicles Series by Anne Rice

HitomiTatsuyo

"Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult."  

Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire

Lestat is basically Slytherin in vampire form. He's arrogant, bright, cunning and really fucking blond, and yeah, sorta evil... But he's a vampire, ya know?

4. Pretty Little Liars Series by Sara Shepard

OdieFarber

"They felt kind of like dolls, with Ali arranging their every move."  

Sara Shepard, Pretty Little Liars

You have to be pretty clever to annoy the hell out of a group of teenagers without getting caught (or bored) like 'A' and to survive a anonymous psycho like the liars.

5. Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas

JoPainter

"We each survive in our own way."  

Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass

Celaena is is pretty cool honestly, and although sometimes she can be too blunt, proud and full of herself, she's also loyal to the ones she loves, always strives to be the best and is a total badass.
