Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, 340 pages
With a sick dad and an absent mother, Evie is the sole provider for her household and after the last one was all kinds of horrible, she's desperate for a new job. When she quite literally runs into The Villain — the infamous evildoer that has been terrorizing Rennedawn for the past decade — and he offers her a job as his personal assistant, she doesn't have much choice but to take it. And surprisingly, it's a decent job, with excellent pay and benefits. But there's also a mole in The Villain's evil empire, and Evie must figure out who it is before they all end up dead.
This superfun book is kind of like a mix between Nimona and Hench, but with a bit of a romance plot thrown in. It's light, it's funny, and the characters are fantastic. My only complaint is that it ends on a cliffhanger and the second book doesn't come out until next year.
