A review by turrean
Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
Did not finish book. Stopped at 63%.
Made it about half of the way through and skimmed the rest. The two main characters are very enjoyable, but the action dragged interminably in the middle. A few of my least favorite fantasy tropes were trotted out (lust at first sight, she’s not like other girls, traitor in our midst, the secret everyone knows, and of course…the heel of one of the stiletto boots I wear to the office gets stuck in a crack a few feet away from a ticking bomb but I’m too stupid to TAKE OFF THE BOOT.)
Moderate: Misogyny, Physical abuse, Sexual assault, Torture, and Blood
