Publisher's summary

The four rules of freelance villainy are as follows:

1. Always wear a mask

2. Never hurt civilians

3. Never kill the heroes you’re paid to fight.

4. And the bad guy always loses.

I've made a good career following the rules and taking on superheroes in scripted fights. But I'd never dreamed it would end up with me dating two stunning supervillainess, getting a household death ray, and having a mad scientist living in my basement.

But you roll with the punches in this business. Be it coaching yandere psychics on the art of villainous monologuing, sourcing costumes from busty demonic fashionistas, or taking down a superarms dealers trying to kidnap my mad scientist. One thing's for sure, there's never a dull moment being the bad guy.

Villain for Hire is a humorous adventure through the world of heroes, superpowers, love, and villainy. Featuring nefarious plots, monsters, mecha fights, and demonic dressmakers, this adventure is sure to delight.

Two thumbs up

Loved the series. voice actors did an amazing job. very easy to follow the different characters.

Great follow up!

This was such an enjoyable listen. It definitely walks a fine line between the naïveté of golden age comics and the campiness of 60’s Batman, without sounding cheesy, unless it’s called for. Just trust me, it works. I have the same complaint as the first book…not long enough.

Mad scientist sheep girl with sweater bunnies

And an unsocialized snow queen and attention-grabbing psychic with baggage.
Yet it all works out for you if you're the master of magnetism.
This series is great!
I'm loving the characters and the storyline.
Wonderful writing and narration.
Now that they have an evil lair mansion, they can start down a new path as a group.
I love it!
8.5 stars out of 5.

WE WANT MORE!

RECEIVED FREE COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW" THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK, ANDREW AND ELLORY LANE DID A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE. LOVE THE GREAT QUALITY LITERATURE. CAN'T WAIT FOR BOOK 3!

The Super series I've been waiting for.

Fun story, loveable characters, protagonist with actual reasons behind his actions, and a world filled with potential and dying to be explored.

super fresh

in a time where superhero books are a dime a dozen, this series is a breath of fresh air.
villanny for hire is a super fresh take on the formula.
highly recommended

Villains here and there, villains everywhere

What I like most about this is the light hearted treatment that being a professional villain takes on and while there are clearly truly evil people out and about in this universe most of the villains are just trying to make ends meet with the hand of cards they have been dealt

Good second book

I have no complaints. The book was an easy listen and plot was simple. The character interactions were good and narration was great.

horrible male narrator

okay I love the premise and loves the first book. But the switch of male narrators is blatantly obvious and truly takes away from the story. The narrator sounds 20 years older and has no inflection in his tone from scene to scene very monotone and completely toke the story from exciting to me not wanting to continue. Just read the story the male narration is rough and off-putting.

Great Series Continuation

This was a great book two that is taking the story in a great direction I think. From solo to mentor Victor is now looking to reluctantly begin running his own evil organization. The story progression, plot, and character development are spot on in this book series. I would highly recommend this series to fans of the genre.
