Cute! Low stakes. Cozy. Definitely mention of blood + gore though (you've been warned). Reads YA. 

Kingsley is my favorite - hope for continued cameos in book 2.

This book was really fun! I think that the reviews that describe it as being like The Office were not accurate. The only thing that reminded me of The Office is the title. I really enjoyed the first half of the book, but I didn't care for the last half of the book. I preferred reading about the day to day lives of Trystan and Evie. The humor and camp of this book reminded me of Butcher & Blackbird without the graphic sex.

Content: mentions of violence/torture, death, mentions of sexual assault

I enjoyed the light-hearted darkness, the environment, the context.

The romance was ok, I felt like it was a bit repetitive and not progressing much for most of the book.

The plot was interesting, though it didn't keep me on my toes too much.

Love. Love. Loved! The premise for this plot was so intriguing. I was a bit wary with the "inspired by the TikTok series" but I had nothing to fear! The Villian and Evie are such a great duo and the world is really interesting without being an overwhelming info dump. 

If you find female characters that are a bit too perfectly sarcastic or snarky even in emotional situations this might not be for you. I found her hilarious and the writing is strong enough it's not off-putting.

 It is a comedic novel with some intrigue and investigation about a mole (and the plot twist here 🤯) and some romance along the way.

It's unique and I love it. Can't wait to pick up the second book!

A cute book with its moments of darkness. I devoured it almost instantly. Not perfect, but wholly fun and entertaining. I look forward to reading the next installment.

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.
