Whoever said writing the second book is easier… I’d like to chat.
But in case you were wondering I’m working on the second book in the Virtuous Villains series! Book one, Wonderfully Wicked, is now available in my TikTok shop.
Wonderfully Wicked is a YA Fantasy retelling of the classic Cinderella story with Wicked movie vibes sprinkled in… told from the princess’s youngest sister and stepmother’s POVs. It’s chock full of magic, deception and twists that you never saw from the princess’s POV.
“Sixteen-year-old Annalie thought life couldn’t get worse after her father was enchanted into marrying Elzbeth, a bewitching socialite. But when Annalie’s newfound magic reveals her stepmother’s true form—green skin and sinister illusions—she uncovers a deadly pattern: a trail of wealthy husbands, all dead—including her father.
Annalie sets out to uncover the truth of her stepmother’s murders before she strikes again. As she races to unravel the truth about Elzbeth’s agenda, she discovers that good and evil aren’t always what they seem.”

If you’re a fan of YA fantasy novels that offer fresh perspectives on classic fairytales, Wonderfully Wicked stands out as a compelling choice.

This dual narrative allows readers to experience the tale through complex characters who embody both vulnerability and deception. Annalie’s journey is filled with suspense as she uncovers the dark secrets behind her stepmother’s green skin and sinister illusions. The plot thickens with a trail of mysterious deaths, including her father’s, which adds an element of thrilling mystery to the magical world. The story’s blend of magic and intrigue invites readers to question the traditional binaries of good and evil, making it a captivating read for those who enjoy layered storytelling. For aspiring writers, Kamy M. Lavin’s honest remark about battling writer’s block during the development of her second book offers relatable insight into the creative process. It highlights that writing sequels brings its own challenges, encouraging perseverance and creativity. The mention of "interrogating my characters after 2 days of writer’s block" reflects a genuine, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the author’s writing routine, which many readers find inspiring. The book’s availability in Kamy’s TikTok shop shows how authors are embracing social media platforms like TikTok to reach new audiences, especially through communities like #booktok, where readers share recommendations, reviews, and fan art.
