Assistant to the Villain Playlist
A mystery-leaning mix for Evie Sage’s careful, paperwork-savvy momentum colliding with a villain’s chaotic shadow world. Instrumentals set tense, secret-office atmospheres, while the vocal tracks punctuate reveals, moral steadiness, and the book’s push-pull between dread and determination.
