Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

4.5

I am so freaking happy!  You always worry for the 2nd book in a series - will it be as funny/poignant/etc as the first.  I was not disappointed.  Evie, Trys and the rest of the Villains gang are back and causing mayhem in their world!

We have to navigate fake deaths, abduction, torture, dealing with grief and trauma, and learning that not all we thought about this world is as it seems!  Evie may be walking sunshine but she has a deep well of trauma that she plasters over with a smile.  I feel her pain!  Trys is trying to keep up the villain act but he's the nicest villain I've ever met - even when doing something "bad" you can't help but hope he comes out on top!

I loves learning more about Trys, Kingsley, Bekah and Gideon.  There are lots of secrets and lies to be uncovered there.  There are also some little breadcrumbs that lead me to think that there may be more than one romance on a slow boil! Sadly there is no redemption for Evie's father - that man can take a long walk off a short plank as far as I'm concerned!

Fluffy and Gurves are so cute - I really want some stuffies of these guys!  A funny, heartwarming and adventure filled escapade.  Forget your troubles for a while and bask in the feel good vibes in Rennedawn!
