Summary
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.

The book was great but the narration was not.
The book itself was an entertaining, light, funny book. The plot twist at the end was amazing and had me on the edge of my seat. The narrator however, was too slow for my liking and I could never tell what speed to put it on because she varied so much. she also mispronounced a few words or skipped some however, I don't think I would have noticed if I wasn't reading the book alongside.

Genuinely fun and sweet
Fun and interesting characters in a world you’ll definitely want to spend more time in. Great for fans of Tamora Pierce or Gail Carson Levine

An enjoyable listen
The characters were engaging and the plot left you guessing at times.
Be aware it ends on a cliffhanger.

my first cliff hanger
this listen has been gripping to say the least... the growth of the characters, the relationships and bond between the villain and the assistant had a cute whitey Ness and pull that was enticing, this is the first book I've listened too with a cliff hanger, and OMG I can't belive I've got to wait months to find out what happens next... her own path of villainy to rescue the villain it's going to be beautiful I just know it... only thing I was a little down about was that there wasn't a male narrater to separate and define who's prospective you where listening too.

I liked it
A bit more fantasy and not as fucused on being an assistant as I was expecting, but overall it comes together as a good book.
