Assistant to the Villain

I loved every single second of Assistant to the Villain! While it admittedly took me a little bit of time to fully get into the story and find my footing in the world at the very beginning, once it clicked, I was completely hooked.The absolute highlight of this book is the dynamic between Evie and the Villain. Evie Sage is just a pure bunch of sunshine—she is incredibly endearing, optimistic, and impossible not to root for. Watching her terrifying, grumpy boss completely fold and yearn for her was pure perfection. The dual point-of-view chapters give us a front-row seat to his inner monologue, and his desperate, sweet pining for his assistant is everything. If you know, you know, but that specific scene where the Villain genuinely thought he was dreaming was so beautifully written and high-key heartbreakingly sweet. I literally SCREAMED. The side characters and workplace dynamics also make the story shine. And the plot! The petty, highly amusing rivalry between Becky and Evie kept me laughing out loud, tho I thought sometimes that Becky was romantically interested in the villain (she is not), and Blade is just an absolute sweetie who deserves the world. If you love the grumpy-meets-sunshine trope, hilarious workplace comedy wrapped in magic, and a slow burn that delivers massive payoff, you need to read this book immediately. It is witty, cozy, and a total joy. I cannot wait to dive into the next installment

This book is just perfection! The main character, Evie, is a brave, clumsy and loveable character who just gets under the villains skin and not in the way that he is used to with his enemies. He offers Evie a job that she can not refuse. Who else is going to earn her family's living? Even though the villain tries so hard for Evie to quit, she just won't let herself be defeated and she treats his mean comments with humor. You soon realize that the villain wants to get rid of Evie because of a far deeper and more dangerous feeling than hate... Not only does her life change because of her new boss but because of the secrets that cursed her family...

Märchen mit Twist, Emanzipation und Feminismus, dazu bisschen very slow burn Romance und richtig glaubwürdige Charaktere! Ich war ab Seite eins gefangen und bin auch nach dem Ende des zweiten Teils (Apprentice) noch mit dem Kopf bei Evie. Freue mich auf den dritten Band!

Ein schönes Buch mit einer tollen Geschichte. Die Protagonistin spricht mir aus den gedanken. Es hat auch sehr viele weitere tolle Charaktere mit denen man befreundet sein will, so einige plot twists und macht einfach spaß zu lesen. Eine langsam heranwachsende romanze ist auch dabei.

Dieses Buch ist so toll. Ich liebe die Charaktere und die Liebesgeschichte. Es ist ein sehr leichtes Buch zum Entspannen und doch war ich die ganze Zeit interessiert. Ich empfehle es an alle Rom-com Liebhaber.
