About this listen
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.

Great story but let down by narrative
Enjoyed the story. Having two narrators for the different main characters would have made this more enjoyable. Also found the narrator difficult to follow.

Enjoyable Slow Burn Misunderstood Villain Story
4⭐ 7.7/10✨
It is a story of a villain who is misunderstood and a story how a girl sees him for what he is more on the inside.
Getting to know his backstory makes him more human and many truths start to unravel.
Nearly not enough spice in this book but the unexpected turn of events and a cliffhanger in the end holds promise for the next book!
And Kingsley the frog with one words signs was the best!
Best quotes:
🦇"Evangelina Celia Sage was woven into his being, into the blink of his eyes into the crinkle of his smile, in his rusty unused laughter. She was color, every single one dancing otherwordly and bright in front of his unworthy eyes. She was everything he never deserved but wanted anyway."
Villain
💫"We are all monster in the end. At least mine lives in the light."
Evie
Suprisingly to myself I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next one!

From TikTok series to a brilliant book.
Loved the TikTok series and was so excited for the book. The plot is very different but the heart is there and the characters we love (Becky I'm looking at you!). But this can defo be enjoyed without having watched the series. It's fun, adult language, and definitely has some twists and turns.
It took me a while to get used to the performer however, I didn't really like her voice and almost felt it had a robotic quality to it. I know the performer is a real person but it was distracting to listen to at times. Not enough for the story to be boring or less engaging however.

Great!
It was great, been following the author’s journey on tik tok and it definitely lived up to my expectations!
But, personally, it was better listening to it on 1.2 speed as the narrator was too slow.

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