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.

πŸ–‰My Thoughts:
Another fantastic addition/edition to the series. There are lots of new characters that have more prevalence in this books which make for some exciting and entertaining scenarios. Evie is wrestling with her growing attraction to the villain but wait, seems like he might have the same issue that she does! They are also trying to make sure that the king cannot fulfill the prophecy so they stay extremely busy. Like, they're all over the place in this book. This story does take on some more serious themes than the last one but is still pretty light hearted altogether. As with book one, I had a wonderful time reading and I'm excited to start book 3.
