About this ebook
THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain...and their unexpected romance.
ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal, levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff for random mayhem and 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.
The Assistant and the Villain series is best enjoyed in order.

Magical, Fun, cute story. Evie has been trying to take care of her family since her father is ill, and she stumbles into a new career with the infamous villain, and she learns that not all things are as they seem. I really enjoyed this story and I can’t wait to see what comes next. I found the characters well developed and likable.

I bought this book 100% due to the author's TikTok and YouTube videos, and the book did not disappoint! It has everything a good fantasy office rom-com should - morally grey characters, "touch-her-and-die", grumpy/sunshine dynamics and loads of sexual tension. I cannot wait for book 2!

That was a good ride. I love this book very much. It was fun and entertaining. It made me wake up early in the morning and sleep late at night just to have the meeded time to read this. The story was good. I was intrigued by the title as I frequently see this book in Facebook. It's a good thing I picked this up. The story was slow paced unlike the action packed fantasy there usually is nowdays. I followed Evie as she do her job as the Villain's assisstant while looking for the traitor, who messed things up with their operations. The writing style was trully entertaining. The characters were funn and their jokes were hilarious. They made fun of themselves and the evilness they were doing. Evie and Trystan was an adorable couple as they both thought that they will never deserve each other and did not know how valuable they were with one another. The plot twist was mouth dropping and heart breaking. Many good things can still happen. I can't wait for book 2 and 3. Good job author.
