Assistant to the Villain

Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer seamlessly blends the enchanting whimsy of fairy tales with the comedic charm of a workplace romp. In a world where the fantastical meets everyday office duties, this delightful novel takes readers on an unforgettable journey where magic and humour collide with unexpected romance.

Evie Sage is desperate for employment to support her ailing family, but little did she know that her job search would lead her to the lair of Rennedawn's most notorious villain. After an unexpected and rather unfortunate encounter, she lands a job as the assistant to the dastardly villain. Despite the fearsome reputation of her new boss, Evie soon realises that the role involves more than just menial office work—it includes assisting in random mayhem, terror, and various other dark deeds. However, the excellent benefits make the job offer irresistible.

As Evie navigates her unusual work environment, she finds herself increasingly drawn to her boss, whose terrifying demeanour is tempered by an undeniable allure. Juggling her growing, inappropriate crush and the ominous tasks at hand, Evie must learn to adapt to bizarre office hazards like severed heads dangling from the ceiling and the squishy feel of errant eyeballs underfoot.

Just as Evie begins to settle into her chaotic new job, she senses a deeper, more sinister threat lurking within the dungeon walls. Something rancid is festering in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and it appears that someone has set their sights on overthrowing the villain and dismantling his malevolent empire. As suspicions rise, Evie realises that her role has evolved from mere assistant to a pivotal player in unmasking the traitor and protecting her employer's dark domain.

In a twist-filled tale that melds intrigue, danger, and unexpected affection, Evie must balance her feelings for her enigmatic boss while uncovering the conspiracy threatening their world. With a razor-sharp wit and a heart full of courage, Evie is determined to prove that a good job is indeed hard to find—and even harder to keep when evil plots are afoot.

Full of magical mishaps, laugh-out-loud moments, and heartwarming romance, Assistant to the Villain is a spellbinding read that will leave you enchanted and eagerly turning the pages. It’s perfect for fans of light-hearted fantasy and anyone who enjoys seeing the mundane and the magical hilariously collide.
