NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. ā€” Mgmt

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 somewhatā€¦er, out-of-evil-office.

But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signsā€”Kingsleyā€™s includedā€”point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdomā€™s magic, and itā€™s made The Villainā€™s manor vulnerable to their enemies...including their nemesis, the king.

Now itā€™s time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villainā€™s lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.

Itā€™s time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. Itā€™s all soā€¦soā€¦delightfully fun.

But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

Did I drop everything to read this book the second I was approved for the ARC? Yes, yes, I did. Did I lose countless hours of sleep finishing it faster than I should? Also, yes. Did I enjoy every single second of this story? 100% YES!  The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy was hands down my favorite read of 2023. Hart and Mercy destroyed my heart, put the shattered pieces back together better than before, and then lovingly wrapped me in the softest blanket while handing me a mug of hot cocoa. When I saw ā€˜The Undermining of […]
