Meet Your 2018 Alpha Showdown Contenders!

logo

VBC: Home of Alpha ShowdownEvery year VBC’s Alpha Showdown celebrates the Biggest Book Badasses in the supernatural world. But it occurs to me that since last year’s event, we’ve seen a lot of powerful people abusing their positions IRL. And I worry that they may have given “alphas” a bad name. So I want to reclaim that word.

When we talk about Alphas here, we’re really talking about heroes—characters who accept the great responsibility that comes with their power. These men and women use their positions to uplift their families, werewolf packs, vampire clans. And often avert an apocalypse in the process. They entertain us with their fighting skills and inspire us by fighting for a cause.

Here are your 2018 Alpha Showdown contenders. Thank you to everyone who helped us select them. You nominated over 150 different characters—angels, shifters, vampires, at least eight different members of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. (You guys have good taste!) But only the top 16 make it to the Showdown.

      I’d bet Margaret’s autocorrect doesn’t know the Alpha & Omega series like we do. 😉 I’ve updated the post to correct it, though!

        I did actually have a conversation with the iPad that went something like, “He’s a werewolf not a game hen, you stupid thing!” Apparently it didn’t believe me.
