Audio Book Review: Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I knew I was going to enjoy Evie's character in Chapter 1 after her response to the d3ad body on her desk. lol

Evie has a fun view of life. She has some great responses that are out of norm for characters to say. It's fun not knowing what she'll say next. Although, knowing what the topic is I got to the point I could guess what she would attach to and have fun with. Her responses eventually work on her boss too, and he smiles from time to time. Or he walks away because he knows he's going to smile, and villains don't smile.

Evie accidentally stumbles upon The Villain in the woods and ultimately is offered a job as his assistant. She's in need of work to take care of her sick father and baby sister, so she takes it.

The friendship that grows here between Evie and The Villain takes time, but we see it happening. I was looking forward to seeing their friendship becoming stronger. And meeting all the characters in the estate he has. Wow, The Villain has a whole business happening here. A whole office at work and more on the grounds along with guards. All this and what we learn about those here, The Villain isn't as bad as people think he is.

When someone tries to blow up The Villain but almost gets Evie instead, The Villain is on the case to find who it is that's out to get him. He even has Evie join him on a few outings. This is fun seeing Evie out and what we learn.

We ultimately get to meet The Villain's family, as they could be of the guilty party with the clues left. We also see Evie's family and learn the past with her mother, brother, and an ex-employer.

I want to say, Kingsley is the best sidekick. He's a frog! With Signs. lol.

Fun story and I have questions about things that I want answers to. I'll be continuing the series. :)
