Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole MaehrerMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
DNF @ 50%
Assistant to the Villain is perfectly fine. It feels like a "falling in love with the boss" romance novel dressed up in fantasy clothing. The text is swoony and slightly bloated; we could lop off the first twelve chapters and not really miss a beat. There's a plot involving a mole in the titular Villain's organization trying to kill him, but it felt like the mystery plot and the romance plot were wrestling against one another rather than working together. If you want a secretary swooning over her own Mr. Darcy, spiced with a dash of dragons and magic, then this book is for you. It's a perfectly fine, if uninteresting, bit of fluff.
