October Book Club!!!

2024 Logo

We will be reading the final installment of the Assistant and the Villain series, Accomplice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer.

Synopsis to the book: REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to “Evie” or “Stop that.”

Evie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings,” and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.

Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire, or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.

Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain.

Book club will meet on Friday, October 24 at the Cattyshack Lounge in Lowe Mill, Studio 1062, from 7-9pm. You can join us by using the link below.

Do you want to help cats but don’t know how? Check out this!

2024 Logo

For a $125 donation your organization can sponsor the adoption fee for one of our cats, increase their chances of getting adopted, and help a family give a loving home to a new family member!

Cattyshack Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue. Our adoption fee covers all needed vaccines, microchipping and spay/neuter surgery for each cat. Our goal is to not only find homes for as many cats as possible, but to ensure their quality of life increases, and the overpopulation of animals in our community decreases.

You can also browse our adoptable cats by Clicking Here. Kitties who already have sponsors will have an asterisk beside their name. If you would prefer we choose a kitty for you, we’re happy to do so.

We would love to share your generous donation on our social media platforms. Feel free to send us any logo files or images you’d like us to include, a link to your website, and any social media handles you would like us to use for tagging purposes. Again, thank you so much! Our kitties thank you too!

This is an easy way to help out our cats and it doesn’t involve fostering, going to an event, or working at the lounge!

You can donate using the link below!

September Book Club!!!

2024 Logo

September is here and what a better way to celebrate than read the book Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, the second book in the Assistant and the Villain series.

Synopsis of the book: NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. ―Mgmt

Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat…er, out-of-evil-office.

But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs―Kingsley’s included―point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom’s magic, and it’s made The Villain’s manor vulnerable to their enemies…including their nemesis, the king.

Now it’s time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain’s lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.

It’s time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It’s all so…so…delightfully fun.

But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

September’s book club will meet on September 26, at the Cattyshack lounge in Lowe Mill, Studio 1062, from 7-9pm. You can reserve your spot through the link below!
