Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

adventurous dark emotional tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

A fun light read, which is surprising given that this story is about the villain not the hero. Personally liked that most of the gore and violence was off page. Also was surprised that I didn’t see the twists coming at the end, although I have my theories for the next book….
