"Apprentice to the Villain" is a fantasy romance that follows the journey of Evie and Trystan, who are entangled in a slow-burn romance filled with misunderstandings and unspoken feelings. The story is told from a dual point of view, allowing readers to gain insights into both characters' thoughts and emotions. However, the narrative has been noted for its frustrating lack of communication between the protagonists, as they both harbor feelings for each other while believing their love is unrequited. The writing style reflects the author's transition from TikTok videos to prose, and while it may not be as polished as seasoned authors, it captures the essence of a young storyteller finding her voice.
The book is characterized by its humorous elements and light-hearted moments, making it an enjoyable read despite the tension in the romance. Readers have noted that "Apprentice to the Villain" is not overtly spicy, focusing more on emotional depth and character development rather than steamy scenes. The narrative ends on a cliffhanger, leaving readers eager for the next installment in the series. Overall, the book blends magical elements with romance, creating a unique atmosphere that resonates with fans of both genres.

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.
