Publisher's summary

The four rules of freelance villainy are as follows:

  1. Always wear a mask
  2. Never hurt civilians
  3. Never kill the heroes you’re paid to fight.
  4. And the bad guy always loses.

As a villain for hire, I followed those rules, facing down heroes in scripted fights to make them look good for the press and brand deals. Sure, losing every time was a pain, but the money was good. Well, decent. And it kept real heroes off my back. Well, usually.

But then I got called in to train a new villainess in the fine art of menace, and suddenly I'm dealing with rogue heroes, horny scientists, yandere psychics, and in the crosshairs of one of the biggest bad guys the world has ever known. It's a good thing I'm a villain, because it's time to start breaking some rules....

A good start

I really enjoyed this book. The mc seems interesting with all his rules and beliefs. I like the world as well as the side characters. It is interesting to see things from the villain's pov every now and then. The narration was superb as well I really enjoyed both narrators as they gave the characters life as well as the world they inhabited. I am looking forward to see where this series goes from here.

Very Fun

I find it very funny that the MC is basically the equivalent of the guy who always loses in wrestling. Its very funny and I was laughing often. The MC takes his job serious so the story works well. The narration is crisp with a great duo. I will be hopeful for more from this series in the future.

A very fun series 10/10 on my 4th read

I had out this series off for so long I regret I didn't start it sooner. You have a powerful villan that doesn't want to be a real villan and his decent into everyone else seeing him for how strong he really is and becoming the villan his girls see him for. All the girls a quirky and have fun and lovable side but are all insane in that they view his decisions as being much more than they really are. I love the series and highly recommend it.

A super story!

I love the unique take on being a villain that this has that the MC isn’t actually a villain that he does all he can to make hero’s look good and makes money doing it that the girls in the book are a mix of crazy and devoted are a type of perfect I can’t explain that they all have their own brand of crazy makes it even better can’t recommend this book enough and I hope it can pull more people in so they can see how awesome this is!

Excellent hero supervillain story.

This is a fun listen. Edward Black and Ellory Lane work together very well to bring the people to life. As for the story, I loved the supervillain being the hero storyline. The whole superhero society felt like it could work in that society. Overall, I look forward tot eh next book.
