| Assistant to the Villain Book 2 |
NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. -Mgmt
Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome, 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 somewhat . . . out-of-evil-office.
But Rennedawn is in trouble, and all signs—Kingsley's included—point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom's magic, and it's made The Villain's manor vulnerable to their enemies . . . including their nemesis, the king.
Now it's time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain's lair, his nefarious works, and maybe the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.
It's time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It's all so . . . so . . . delightfully fun.
But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Lots of revelations in this latest book in this series! Picking up shortly where we left off, Evie has quite the plan to set The Villain free. And in doing so, they soon realize that the King is on a mission to fulfill a prophecy. And anything to do with the king’s plan means something is coming. Lots going on in this story! The mysterious Knight is revealed. All signs point to finding Evie’s mother if they have hope in defeating the king. And magic is on the fritz… including The Villain’s. I think I enjoyed reading this book more than the first now that I had the world figured out. The humor is still fantastic. We meet some new characters who I loved. And then this slow burn of Evie and Trystan’s love story makes you want to shake them. But I loved that it developed more in this one. It’s definitely a fun story all around and just when you have some questions answered, many more appear! I can’t wait to dive into the next one!
