Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
What is it about?
NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. âMgmt
Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhatâŚer, out-of-evil-office.
But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signsâKingsleyâs includedâpoint to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdomâs magic, and itâs made The Villainâs manor vulnerable to their enemies…including their nemesis, the king.
Now itâs time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villainâs lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.
Itâs time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. Itâs all soâŚsoâŚdelightfully fun.
But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice? (Goodreads)
I was super excited about this book as I really loved Assistant to the Villain. Although this book did not disappoint me, it was not like the first one.
Still, I enjoyed it a lot! These characters and found family are literally the best. They’re so fun to read, and I’m already so invested in this story.
The chemistry and tension between the villain and Evie continue to be top-notch in this book, and I’m so here for it! I did want a bit more happening between them, though. I felt there was very little progress on their “relationship”, but it’s still fine because we have one more book and absolutely excited to read it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Have you read this?
love, Lin
