NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. 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 (shhh, bad for his brand) 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…er, out-of-evil-office.
But Rennedawn is in grave 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, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) 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?
The Assistant and the Villain series is best enjoyed in order.

These books are written so well!!! They are funny, silly, chaotic and cute while also having an interesting plot and romantic side to them. Evie is badass, Trystan is too ofc but Evie my girl you are one of my all time favourite FMC's for sure. I am waiting for Evie to get her powers tho, I am sure she has them. I had a feeling in book one that she would have them eventually but with the plottwist in the (FREAKING) epilogue, I am certain it will happen in book three. SPEAKING OF THAT FREAKING EPILOGUE..... HANNAH GIRL WHAT WAS THAT HMM?????????? I need to go into the third book rather soon now lol. Also I need a word with Trystan.... MY MAN, WHAT ARE WE DOING HMM? FIGURE IT OUT AND HURRY UP WITH IT PLEASE. Okay that is all for now!

Im loving this series so much, it is such a fun fantasy series that brings me right back to childhood and watching Disney movies. This book has me smiling, giggling and kicking my feet during every chapter. I like that we are getting some new povs this book, I just hope they don’t start to overtake the story, which is something I have seen happen before. SUCH A SLOW BURN! You love each other admit it already! Also why was a crying over a mystical god creature who created the trees 😭 0/5 🌶️ just a kiss
