This book felt like a magical workplace rom-com lol. I thought there was lots of great witty banter and funny moments. I found myself giggling and kicking my feet. There were some really beautiful romantic moments as well.
There was mystery that kept me intrigued and reading for more I thought the way things unfolded was well done. I loved Evie, The villain and Kingsley. They were loveable characters and it was easy to follow their stories.
Really excited for the next book a nice enjoyable read and it felt right for October while still be light and refreshing.

First 50 chapters were great office company and slow paced. I liked the sort of absurdity of the characters being villains but running a normal office. It felt sort of rom-com-y. Then I feel like the last part of the book shifted gears entirely to all (dark) plot and more stereotypical fantasy plot. I really wasn’t prepared for the sudden shift to a heavier plot. I liked the book, but it felt choppy in the sudden shift.

It is cute, simple, tropy and funny(not in the "I'm crying laughing again" but in a "I'm almost constantly smiling and sometimes giggling").
+ slow-burn (sloowww)
+ sunshine x grumpy
(with the grump being kind of being similar to a puppy...all bark no bite which is one of the only ways to make a likable grumpy MC and not just let them behave like a douche)
+ a plottwist that was not that foreseeable as the reader gained information with the MCs during the story
(- very simple and understandable writing style...fitting for a lighthearted YA book but not my absolute favorite for an adult romantasy book)
- the climax and the biggest plottwist happening on the last 30 pages was...unfortunate...
- the auther was really careful when describing the lows making the highs less high and in turn not making the book that emotional (I don't think every book has has to be destroying emotionally but a little more variety of emotion could even in a lighthearted book add depth)
Moderate: Sexual assault
Minor: Emotional abuse, Kidnapping, Murder, and Torture
