Next Top Villain by Suzanne Selfors is part of a new "Ever After High" spinoff series.
Duchess
Swan may not have a storyline with a Happily Ever After at the end, but
she doesn't have a drop of evil in her bloodline -- so when she gets
her class schedule and discovers that she is taking General Villainy,
she is sure there must be some mistake. When Professor BadWolf refuses
to let her transfer out and sets the entire class the assignment to do
something nasty and rotten by the end of the week, Duchess is not sure
what to do. Should she let the assignment slide and get her first ever
failing grade . . . or should she complete the assignment, even if it
means straying from her storyline? Is becoming evil the only way Duchess
can achieve a Happily Ever After?
This was a cute story. I'm
unfamiliar with the Ever After High franchise, so I don't know how it
compares to other books in the series. The premise was a lot like The School for Good and Evil,
but with a much smaller page count. I think fans of the series will
enjoy this, though I didn't like it enough to recommend it for general
consumption.
