Enjoyable fantasy-romance comedy between a grumpy and a sunshine.

After the female MC is attacked by her employer, she desperately needs employment. Her family is poor, a severely ill father and younger sister reliant on her earnings. She runs into a mysterious and handsome villain who is taken instantly by her intelligence and hires her as his secretary. What choice does she have?

There’s a mystery and a rat to sniff out, and the MC spreads her sunshine as she acts as detective. She works in the villain’s castle office that is full of his newest victims’ hanging heads, a talking prince frog, and a dragon. 

This was fun and a light read; however, there’s definitely dark and gory situations, sensitive issues discussed, and crazy plot twists. 

It’s worth a read.

This has been one of my favorite reads of the year. It is a glorious deconstruction of grumpy/sunshine, office comedy with an absurdist twist that uses its premise to quietly reflect on how we are shaped by trauma. 

This is a book that would benefit from trigger warnings.

It's a 4 star purely based on vibes. Not a lot really happens plot wise until the end - but the romance is cute.

I am not a fan of fantasy books, but this one had me captivated with the wit, humor, flirty romance and mystery. I look forward to reading the second book to continue from the cliff hanger ending!
