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.

This book was truely a break, it was fun and different and the humour was so cringe and quirky i couldnt stop laughing I love it. It was kind of easy to guess at times and the plot kinda got boring for a second but I’d still read it again and it was worth it. Im embarrassed by how many times this book made me smile and laugh. Thank you

Fun

Narrator isn’t great. Thanks to the other reviews I increased the speed and that made it bearable to listen to. There’s a lot of unnecessary pauses for drama where it’s not needed and weird inflections at the end of sentences that just distract from the story itself.
Without that, it would actually be a really hood read. The story is fun and enjoyable.

Listen at 1.2 speed
