"I'lI remind you that, at your bequest, I haven't actually killed an intern in several months."
Evie shook her head hopelessly. "Sir, I hate to belittle your successes, but there are people who go their entire lives without killing anyone."
His face remained serious. "How dull."

5 ⭐️

What a bloody fun book this was! I went in a little cautious but completely fell in love. Was it the best book ever written? No, but the entire book was such a vibe. It was funny, sarcastic, heavy slow burn romance, morally grey characters and grump/sunshine vibes. It was just everything you want out of a fantasy romance but no heavy world building.

Also, Evie’s nickname being Little Tornado? Be still my beating heart.

Preordering book 2 immediately.
