Accomplice to the Villain

Assistant and the Villain, Book 3

De: Hannah Nicole Maehrer

Narrado por: Em Eldridge

REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to the Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to "Evie" or "Stop that."

Evie Sage didn't mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom's most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised "light paperwork and occasional beheadings," and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.

Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire―or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.

Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again...neither was falling for The Villain.

A magical office comedy with grumpy bosses, snarky frogs, and definitely-not-feelings.

Contains mature themes.

I'm obsessed

I loved the book I've devoured the series. I can't wait for book 4. The writing was perfect, the twists.... didn't see them coming.

Great story with voices that keep you intrigued!

Enjoyed hearing the story come
To life and feeling as if I was in the room
With the characters!

Read to fast and now I am sad.

Ahhh I have been waiting for this book for a year!!! And it didn't disappoint!! But now I don't know what to do. So good!! so many things where answered but then so many things where still left open . But it was so good. Love Love Love these characters!!

If perfect, why only 5 stars?

Loved. Cannot wait for the next one, u til I will yearn for it as ardently as our MMC.

I loved everything about this story

I hope there is a 4th book. This one has much to wrap up in another book. But I’m satisfied with how much we got in this book.

I love this series!!

This is such a wonderful series! I’m kind of mad that it ended on a cliffhanger, but I look forward to finding out what happens next.

I am unwell 😭

I absolutely loved it once again 😭 I need to know what happens bc I am indeed unwell after that

Alexa play I'm Not Ok by My Chemical Romance

HNC's prose and quips are stellar as always. I love all these characters, and it's awesome how many different character POVs we get in this installment. I'm very emotionally invested, and I adore how the twists are revealed.

Wild Ride!

Every book of the Villian series has grown better and better! I’m obsessed with everything! Narration has gotten better too. Still has a few unnecessary pauses in sentences, but the story was intriguing enough to overhear the pausing.
What a wild twist and cliffhanger and the journey everyone went through! I absolutely love love love the multiple POVs. I can’t wait for the next book. I wonder how it will be titled 😉

lol funny, irreverant , sarcastic and witty

Even though this had only one narrator her ability to convey different voices and people was excellent. The story flowed smoothly and her intonations made the jokes, and there were many, funnier. I listened to the audiobook almost completely.
