This book has a lot of potential. While I loved the witty banter, the secret pining, and the morally grey bad guy, it left me wanting.
I wanted more assistant work to gore and murder and the like. It was set up to be a book about being an *assistant to the villain*, yet there was more about romance and heroics.
I am happy that she is a strong and independent woman who can save herself a lot of the time. I enjoy a grumpy x sunshine story. It just wasn't what I wanted. I also hated there was a second book that I didn't know about until the end. It could have been finished in one, alas...
