Evie Sage is trying to figure out what she’s doing with her life when she stumbles across… The Villain & he… offers her a job? Oh, alright, well, okay then! Evie needs the money to take care of her father & sister, so she’s gunna do what she needs to do. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought Evie’s character was fun & really likable. I appreciated the dynamics between all of the characters, & thought that they all balanced each other out quite nicely. 

The end surprised me!! I really was not expecting any of what happened in those last few chapters, so I encourage those that easily DNF to continue on to get the full experience of the book!

I loved this book, honestly. The reason it lost half a star to me is because it’s noted to be “adult” & I would have pegged it as “YA” so that’s really it & if it wasn’t for that, I would have given it 5 stars — in fact, I had until I noticed that.
