Assistant to the Villain

By Hannah Nicole Maehrer
Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance.

ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal, levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion a must. Excellent benefits.

With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn’s most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don’t find evil so attractive, Evie.

But just when she’s getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat…and not just the literal kind. Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out.

Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure out exactly who is sabotaging his work…and ensure he makes them pay.

After all, a good job is hard to find.

Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face

“I NEED THE SECOND BOOK LIKE NOW!”
Expressionless Face“I feel like this book had much more potential than what was presented! I wanted to like it, and the twist was great and not expected, but for some reason every book I’ve been reading lately has a cliffhanger going into the next book, and this one was so obvious and obnoxious to me (or am I just bitter? We probably know the answer).”
Easy to read
Slightly Smiling Face“I had heard such great things about this and was pleasantly surprised that they were all correct! I loved this book. It feels like the cute HEA books written by Christina Lauren and Emily Henry but with the world of SJM and Rebecca Yarros. It’s cozy, fun, hilarious, and one hell of a good time. This is a true morally grey villain- no Rhysand or Xaden “morally grey” (meaning every one thinks they’re the villain but in reality they are far from it) here. I’m so sad that the second book is not out yet.”

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“This book took me a bit to get into but once I did, I was hooked! I loved the banter between the characters! Is The Villain my new book crush?! 😜 This definitely gave me what it said: “The Office meets Once Upon a Time”. I can’t wait for book 2!”
