    Played By: Jamie Blackley

    12. Wesley "Wes" Rush

    Swoonworthy Moment: “'I think about you much more than any self-respecting man would like to admit, and I'm insanely jealous of Tucker - something I never thought I'd say. Moving on after you is impossible. No other girl can keep me on my toes the way you can. No one else makes me WANT to embarrass myself by writing sappy letters like this one. Only you.'” - The Duff

    Played By: Robbie Amell

    13. Evan Walker

    Swoonworthy Moment: “'You’re the mayfly,' he murmurs. And then Evan Walker kisses me. Holding my hand across his chest, his other hand sliding across my neck, his touch feathery soft, sending a shiver that travels down my spine into my legs, which are having a hard time keeping me upright. I can feel his heart slamming against my palm and I can smell his breath and feel the stubble on his upper lip, a sandpapery contrast to the softness of his lips, and Evan is looking at me and I’m looking back at him.” - The 5th Wave

    Played By: Alex Roe

    The following are people we believe would perfectly bring these hotties to life:

    14. Daemon Black

    Swoonworthy Moment: "'I want to spend every second, every minute, every hour with you. I want a year's worth of seconds and minutes with you. I want a decade's worth of hours, so many that I can't add them up.'” - Origin

    Dream Cast: His dark hair, hazel eyes, and perfect bod makes Tyler Hoechiln the right choice to play Daemon.

    15. Maxon Schreave

    Swoonworthy Moment: "'America, my love, you are sunlight falling through trees. You are laughter that breaks through sadness. You are the breeze on a too-warm day. You are clarity in the midst of confusion. You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that’s all it would manage to do.'" - The One

    Dream Cast: Douglass Booth has the look of an adorable guy who's a little shy, making him the perfect candidate to play Maxon.

    16. Alex Fuentes

    Swoonworthy Moment: “I don't belong here. It doesn't matter, because even if I don't belong in this place, [Brittany's] here and I want to be where she is.” - Perfect Chemistry

    Dream Cast: Alexander F. Rodriguez already plays Alex in the book trailer so it'd only be right for him to bring the role to life on the big screen.

    17. Liam Stewart

    Swoonworthy Moment: “'God.' [Liam] shook his head, mouth twisting into a shadow of a smile. 'Did you know... you make me so happy that sometimes I actually forget to breathe? I'll be looking at you, and my chest will get so tight... and it's like, the only thought in my head is how much I want to reach over and kiss you.'" - The Darkest Minds

    Dream Cast: Lucas Till played the perfect country boy in the Hannah Montana Movie, and his drawl would bring Liam to life.

    18. Raffe

    Swoonworthy Moment: "'You accept me just the way I am, regardless of whether or not I even have wings. Even when I had my demon wings, you’ve never looked at me with pity. You’ve never wavered in your loyalty. That’s who you are – my brave, loyal, lovable Daughter of Man.'" - End of Days

    Dream Cast: Drew Roy has played bad boys on both Hannah Montana and iCarly so he's got that tough guy exterior that makes Raffe so hot, already down.

    19. Adrian Ivashkov

    Swoonworthy Moment: “[Adrian] reached out and pulled me to him, one hand on my waist and the other behind my neck. He tipped my head up and lowered his lips to mine. I closed my eyes and melted as my whole body was consumed in that kiss. I was nothing. I was everything.” - The Golden Lily

    Dream Cast: Adrian is a hot, rich guy and total ladies man. Chace basically played this role when he was Nate on Gossip Girl and his dark hair and strong jawline makes him the perfect Adrian.

    20. Prince Kai

    Swoonworthy Moment: "[Kai] lifted his gaze. 'Just to be clear, you’re not using your mind powers on me right now, are you?'

    She blinked. 'Of course not.'

    'Just checking.'

    Then he slid his arms around her waist and kissed her." - Cress

    Dream Cast: Harry Shum, Jr. has the dark hair and copper-brown eyes that makes Prince Kai so hot.

    Dream Cast: Zeke is not only cute, he's strong and Colton Hayes is built from his time on Teen Wolf and Arrow. Plus, he can totally play the smooth, nice guy that is Zeke.

    22. Park Sheridan

    Swoonworthy Moment: “Holding Eleanor's hand was like holding a butterfly. Or a heartbeat. Like holding something complete, and completely alive.” - Eleanor & Park

    Dream Cast: Christopher Larkin has the cute smile and short, dark hair that just screams Park.

    23. Etienne St. Clair

    Swoonworthy Moment: “'I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.'” - Anna and the French Kiss

    Dream Cast: Aaron Taylor-Johnson's hair is the perfect kind of dark, short-long hair that Etienne is know for. Plus, he has the perfect English accent.

    24. Kenji Kishimoto

    Swoonworthy Moment: “Kenji snorts. 'That’s because you’re not fragile,' Kenji says. 'If anything, everyone needs to protect themselves from you. You’re like a freaking beast,' he says. Then adds, 'I mean, you know—like, a cute beast. A little beast that tears shit up and breaks the earth and sucks the life out of people.'" - Ignite Me

    Dream Cast: Booboo Stewart has the best combination of dark hair and dark eyes that makes Kenji so swoonworthy.

    25. Chaol Westfall

    Swoonworthy Moment: “'I worry because I care. Gods help me, I know I shouldn't, but I do. So I will always tell you to be careful, because I will always care what happens.'” - Crown of Midnight

    Dream Cast: Torrance Coombs short, Auburn hair is just like Chaol's. Sure, his eyes aren't the exact same color as Chaol's is but that's what color contacts are for.

    26. Daniel "Day" Altan Wing

    Swoonworthy Moment: “'You drive me insane, June,' [Day] murmurs against my hair. 'You're the scariest, most clever, bravest person I know, and sometimes I can't catch my breath because I'm trying so hard to keep up. There will never be another like you. You realize that, don't you?' I tilt my face up to see him. His eyes reflect the faint lights from the JumboTrons, a rainbow of evening colors. 'Billions of people will come and go in this world,' he says softly, 'but there will never be another like you.” - Champion

    Dream Cast: Day's mixed ethnicity of Mongolian and Russian leave the possibility for his casting endless, but L. Joe should definitely be a top contender with his perfect blonde hair.

    27. Levi Stewart

    Swoonworthy Moment: “'I like your glasses,' [Levi] said. 'I like your Simon Snow T-shirts. I like that you don’t smile at everyone, because then, when you smile at me.… Cather.' He kissed her mouth. 'Look at me.'

    She did.

    'I choose you over everyone.'" - Fangirl

    Dream Cast: Besides having the perfect hair for this role, Austin Butler definitely has Levi's great chin that Cath is so in love with.
