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.

The FROG!!!

I love this series! I can’t wait for the next book!!! I hope we won’t have to wait long because I need more

The cliff hanger

I just love this series and I love the way. It feels so lighthearted even when the worst and most devastating parts of the book happen.

Jaw drop

This is my favorite series ever and the ending was chef kiss! I literally cannot wait for the next one. In the dictionary under book hangover this book and series should be in the top five examples.

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!!!

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. .

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!

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.

Narrator still awful, story still excellent

This narrator has marginally improved since the first book, but she's still really stilted and hard to listen to. WHY are there so many awkward pauses between every other word? Infuriating.

The story however was incredible as always, top tier snark and all. I'm madly in love with this cozy villain romantasy and that cliffhanger was perfection but I need the next book immediately!

I love the banter and the found family!!

I love these book but i feel like the story was left unfinished. the story blends humor, magic, and heartfelt moments. A witty, romantic, and chaotic finale that fans of the series will love.
