A review by reigandunkle
Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

3.0

Let's talk about it! 

For someone's first-ever book, I enjoyed my time with it. 

Was it the best book ever written... no, but it's for sure not the worst. Overall the plot was there but the characters weren't very present if that makes sense. 

Our main character (the assistant aka Evie) was our happy sunshine character. She works for the villain if that wasn't obvious. Then our second main character (also known as the villain- aka the love interest) was the opposite (dark, mysterious, and evil "-ish"). To say that this book was supposed to be Grumpy × Sunshine is an understatement. Personally, the villain did fall a little flat for me, I just wanted more from him but we'll see if this changes during the future books. 

I also think it's important to say this book was not a slow burn. I think it was meant to be a slow burn but they fell for each other SO quickly. I think it would have been better if the romance really took its time and showed the characters getting to know each other better. Again that is just my personal opinion and preference. 🤷‍♀️
With the way this book ended, I'm excited to pick up the next book to see what happens, and where the rest of the story goes! 

My closing thoughts are, if you read the summary of this book and it sounded interesting I would pick it up! It was fun to read and I would recommend it if this sounds like your vibe. 

Well... that's it! Until the next books!!
