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.
Contains mature themes.

It is a slow burn for sure, and I was literally screaming at Evie and the Villian half the time,
The characters? Amazing (did not expect to ship Becky and Blade, but I’m here for it)
The setting? Incredible (I love the little references to modern technology while keeping it in a traditional fantasy setting)
THE ROMANCE? I was FERAL
The narrator was a touch slow but if you speed her up to 1.15, it’s the best bedtime story.
I seriously cannot recommend this book more
I NEED BOOK TWO NOW 😭😭

What I loved:
1. The narration was fabulous! Em Eldridge did a great job of embodying the characters! I typically prefer dual (or duet!) narration and this book DEFINITELY could’ve benefited from having a male narrator for the parts of the villain, but Em was THE PERFECT Evie!
2. While Evie can definitely qualify as a quirky heroine, it comes across as more endearing than trite.
3. I feel like this book has done a great job of setting us up for a much grittier and plot driven book two! I’m also hoping for A LOT more romance!
If you’re looking for a cute read that will leave you feeling light hearted for the vast majority of the book, give this series a start!
I will say that the mildly cliffhanger-like ending has me wishing the release for book two was sooner…
Fantasy/Mystery, but make it ADORABLE

I also didn't mind the narrator so I don't see the complaints on that but maybe I just get used to them quicker than others.
Charming af
