Apprentice to the Villain

Assistant to the Villain, Book 2

By: Hannah Nicole Maehrer

Narrated by: Em Eldridge

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?

Contains mature themes.

Lots of plot gaps

I like the main love story and the side love stories, but there are a lot of questions unanswered about the actual villain, even from the first book. All of the questions are making the story not make sense.

I love this story

It is so well written, it keeps me on my toes, I couldn't stop listening

A most read

This book was as good as the first one. It was funny, adventurous and the slow burn definitely is slow burning. lol… I love the addition of the secondary characters and there stories. The Villain and Evie are hysterical I hope they end up together on the next and final book for this series. I can’t end up this without the mention of Prince Kingsley with his tiny crown and funny signs. Is definitely a most read if you need a quick, funny, get you out of a book slump book.

Great characters

I loved them all. Except for the ones I hated. And they weren’t in there often. Fun world with lots of nature creatures. Witty. Sarcastic. Joyous good cheer.

Wonderful dialogue and character building

I really enjoyed this sweet story and all of the characters have something to offer throughout the plot.
