Accomplice to the Villain

Assistant and the Villain, Book 3

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.

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!!

I didn't expect that...

But i probly should have. i thought it was going to be a trilogy and it was going to wrap everything up. I was wrong and i can't wait for the next one!!!

Ahhh

Seriously- why do we have to wait?? I don’t know how many of these there are but I love each one more and more.

I love that we get Kingsley’s POV in here. I fall in love more and more with each character and can’t wait until the next one as I am trying to figure out what is going to happen because there’s so much happening and more to happen!

Why?!!! Cliffhanger

I really hope the next book is the last one. I can’t believe I have to wait another year for this to come out. 🥺 anyway. Lovely story. This book was savage. It’s getting darker and darker. I kind of knew about the magic and who is the villain, but I did not see the prince at all. I am happy about the epilog. Because I was going to be pretty mad Kingsley run away. If you are thinking on give it a try good luck with your feelings. 😂 they are a little rollercoaster, also this is pretty YA in case you are wondering. .

Hopefully it is only a temporary goodbye

I enjoyed the book very much though as interesting as the side quests were, they seemed to just be filler. I do believe many of the incidents and characters will come in to play in book 4. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this book and this author. It was hard to say goodbye, even temporarily to these characters and their pursuits. I want more.
