Apprentice to the Villain

LoveReading Says

We rejoin Evie and The Villain pretty much where we left off in Assistant to the Villain and I couldn’t be more thrilled to rejoin them. Magic is starting to behave strangely in the Kingdom of Rennedawn and The Villain and everyone at Massacre Manor is more vulnerable than ever to their enemies. Can Evie help protect The Villain’s lair, and maybe even the entire kingdom?

Reader, I inhaled this book. The small hours of the morning weren’t so small by the time I put this book down. Firstly, it goes without saying that you need to read the first book in the series before opening this one: a) because it’s really good and b) because the plot and character dynamics of this book continue to build on its quippy, bright foundation. Evie's responsibilities continue to develop at the manor, taking a more hands-on role to try to keep everyone safe and figure out why magic is behaving so strangely. The slow burn between the ever sunshiny Evie and grumpy Villain is a steady simmer, and being given both characters' perspectives teases you with the insight into the yearning behind the glacial progress. Not only do we get to spend more time with our brilliant cast of side characters, we also get their perspectives in this book, giving us additional insight into their worlds and even their own potential office romances. A dastardly entertaining sequel, cruel because I now have to wait rather impatiently until the next book comes out.
