this book was really cute!! it was cheesy and cliche but i really liked evie and the villain’s dynamic. i’m a fan of the authors tiktoks so it was fun to read about the characters i’ve been seeing her play for so long! and it was nice to actually see becky speak for once!!

it did start to lose me a little towards the end but i read the last half of it while on a plane and then in a fever haze when i got home. overall it wasn’t my favorite but i liked it! i’ll probably pick up the sequel at some point but it’s not my main priority read right now.

I almost DNF-ed this several times at the beginning. The first half of the book is just a bunch of grumpy/sunshine tiktok jokes. There wasn't much plot besides the workplace jokes and Evie flirting with her incredibly hot boss The Villain. Everything is super vague. He's wanted for "general villainy" and despite his code of ethics, there's no shortage of dead bodies casually laying around the office, along with a mean Human and Magical Creatures Reasources Manager, a coffee-making, pastry-baking ogre, and torture victims galore. After 10 years of villainy, the king has finally decided to crack down on the villain, with a mole seemingly infiltrating the office, known as Massacre Manor. There is a bit of a plot in the second half, though nearly as vauge. The characters are endearing and the love story is cute which is why I kept going, but really most of the jokes are lifted straight from tumblr and tiktok.

This book absolutely destroyed me. I need more of Evie and The Villian, now.

I wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to take so long getting into this book! Once I got past the exposition (it was slow for me, but that could’ve been the mood reader problem), I was HOOKED and couldn’t put the book down!
