Our view
Charm and jokes power “Accomplice to the Villain”, the playful third volume of a fantasy rom-com series. Evie Sage, right hand to the kingdom’s most feared villain and in love with him, is by now a wanted woman, complete with a crowned and disapproving frog. Some readers praise the characters and say the plot still manages to surprise them. With one book still to come and a slow-burning romance, it should be read in order.

About the book
🐸 🏰 When falling for the brooding, off-limits boss means excusing his magical murder plots and enduring a sassy amphibian sidekick – all because you love a bad boy... 🏰 🐸 ✨ The third book in the bestselling fantasy rom-com series from the TikTok sensation about the sunshine assistant to the grumpy 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. Readers are OBSESSED with Hannah Nicole Maehrer... ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ‘This book [has] my whole heart ... I need more.
