Assistant to the Villain

by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

This playlist threads mystery and danger through Evie Sage’s tense job spiral—mixing crisp, investigative instrumentals with lyrical tracks that echo secrecy, uneasy attraction, and villainous employment-as-identity. The pacing moves from quiet dread to sly momentum, matching the book’s back-and-forth between discretion, chaos, and reluctant loyalty.
