In this episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we sit down with bestselling fantasy romance author and BookTok favorite Hannah Nicole Maehrer (@hannahnicolemae) to talk all things Accomplice to the Villain, the latest book in her hit Assistant to the Villain series. Known for her laugh-out-loud villain/assistant banter, swoony slow burns, and emotionally rich character arcs, Hannah opens up about what it was like writing the third installment of this viral romantasy series.

We dig into character growth, new POVs (yes, even the frog), found family, and the emotional and hilarious chaos that makes this book impossible to put down. Hannah shares how she tackled the more *ahem* intimate moments of Evie and Trystan’s relationship, the deeper themes around motherhood and identity, and how she strikes the perfect balance between humor, heartbreak, and happily ever after.

If you love romantasy, morally gray love interests, TikTok books, and books with magic, spice, and emotional depth, this episode is for you.
