Dear Fantasy Reader

Accomplice To The Villain Immediate Thoughts & Reactions | Fangirl Breakdown


Listen Later

In this spoiler-filled reaction episode, hosts Kinsey and Karly (and Kingsley??) break down their initial thoughts & reactions to Hannah Nicole Maehrer’s highly anticipated Accomplice to the Villain, which released yesterday, August 5th, 2025. The excitement? High. The chaos? Unhinged.

As our resident ATTV-fangirl, Kinsey dropped everything to read Accomplice to the Villain as soon as the advanced reader copy hit our email (thank you RedTower & Entangled!). Unfortunately for her, this meant she had to very impatiently wait for another cohost to finish before she could fully spiral…and as you know, that ending isn’t for the weak!

LISTENER BEWARE: this episode was recorded late on a work night, so no matter how structured it tries to be... it’s still mostly unhinged fangirling.

If you’ve just finished Accomplice to the Villain and need to scream with someone... this is your episode & these are your book besties!

 

*Please note that this episode includes spoilers for the entirety of Assistant to the Villain, Apprentice to the Villain, AND Accomplice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer*

 

**ADDENDUM: Merv = MARV. Looking at you, Kinsey ;)**
