THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Nicole Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance. 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. The Assistant and the Villain series is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Book #1 Assistant to the Villain Book #2 Apprentice to the Villain Book #3 Accomplice to the Villain

"I feel like this book is the biggest waste of time. If you want to save yourself the pain of reading this, just open up the last chapter and you’ll be good. "

"This whole book was kind of like a filler episode. Almost nothing consequential happens for 95% of the book."

"This series definitely never disappoints but I have to say that this one is my least favorite compared to the other two books and I can explain. The romance was giving everything in this book and I think it was the main plot, however there were many points of view in the story because there was a lot going on at once. In the end it got very confusing, and the reveals of the plot twists did not feel as exciting because of everything that was going on at the same time. Evie is still out silly girl, with smiles all around her and turning hearts. Trystan, our dark moral man that actually has a beating heart somewhere. I love the plot, where everything was going, also they added a new POV that I won’t spoil. That was a great addition. Once again, there was a lot happening and I got confused at the end of the book. Still, I giggled, laughed and cried all at the same time. The author makes me feel more for the characters in each page. I hope that there is only one book left because it would ruin the series, it would look like she is stretching it. I did like that she kept this adventurous that our little group goes to and meets new people. I would totally recommend it!"
