Accomplice to the Villain

Wrote a review for

If you think you know where this series is headed, think again. Accomplice to the Villain cranks things up several notches without missing a beat. The pacing is absolutely relentless, pulling you deeper into the chaos from the very first chapter. This book barely lets you breathe between plot twists, magical mishaps, and surprisingly emotional moments. I slipped into Accomplice to the Villain via audiobook, and holy smokes, Em Eldridge’s narration is a spellbinding treat! Her voice brings Evie’s sass and Trystan’s brooding charm to life, making every heart-racing moment pop.

Trystan and Evie’s chemistry crackles like a summer storm, their banter and tender glances (well, vocal glances) leaving me giddy. Their relationship evolves and develops in this book, from a slow burning fire to a full fledged raging inferno. But that’s not even the highlight here. What really blew me away was the way the story builds. The first two books laid the groundwork, but this one layers twist upon twist until you’re on the edge of your seat, every quirky side character, frog crown, and prophecy gone haywire build up to an ending that is, quite literally, killer. I was furiously flipping (well, listening) to chapters, gasping at the turns, and laughing out loud, all in one sitting.

That ending, though? It’s a dagger to the heart: shocking, raw, and so perfectly devastating I’m still reeling. No spoilers, but it’s the kind of closer that demands a group chat to process. Maehrer’s blend of humor, heart, and high-octane drama is pure gold, and Eldridge’s narration elevates it to obsession level. This is the series’ best yet, and I’m already counting days until book four. Add this to your TBR, you need this chaos in your life!
