Assistant to the Villain Summary

This week, we’re stepping into the stabby, sassy, totally HR-violating halls of evil with Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer. Think fairy tale vibes meets workplace comedy meets… a murder-y meet-cute? Yes please.

We’re breaking down this fantasy rom-com from start to finish—complete with sword fights, sarcasm, suspicious spreadsheets, and one very morally gray boss who is way too hot to be so homicidal. Evie is just trying to hold onto her job and keep the office from imploding (literally), and we are HERE for it.

Join Sunny, Rachel, and Rox as we summarize the plot and swoon over villainous charm. And of course, we’re rating it one shot, two shots, or three—because even fantasy should come with a hangover warning.

We paired this book with a drink and deep thoughts—grab the Mead-tini cocktail recipe and answer the discussion prompts.
