#BookReview: Assistant to the Villain (Assistant to the Villain #1) by Hannah Nicole Maehrer






Synopsis: Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance.

ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal, levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion a must. Excellent benefits.

With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn’s most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don’t find evil so attractive, Evie.

But just when she’s getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat…and not just the literal kind. Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out.

Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure out exactly who is sabotaging his work…and ensure he makes them pay.

After all, a good job is hard to find.

My Review: Oh my. I was so excited for this one and when I finally got my hands on it I devoured the first half of it.  However, unfortunately as I got towards the end of the book I found myself wanting to put it down and do other things.  It just lost that excitement that it started with.  I have to say that I wished that this would have been a little shorter and just would have been faster paced with I don't know just more.  It could have been darker and sexier since it is adult fantasy.  Sadly, I don't think I would continue this series.
