"Do you often find yourself saying “if villain, why hot?” Do you mourn the early cancellation of shows like My Lady Jane and Galavant? Then you’re going to love the self-aware adventure that is Long Live Evil. The book follows Rae, a terminally ill woman, who wakes up in the world of her favorite book. Great turn of events! Except Rae’s character is the villain of the story. Oops! Nevertheless, Rae decides to persist, with villainy. She assembles a motley crew of knife-carrying and morally deficient henchmen, including the very sexy Key, who is equal parts sociopath and simp. Rae’s journey to seize control of the narrative is meta, camp and oh so much fun! If you’ve ever wanted to break the fourth wall with your bare hands, you’ll want to pick this one up."
