Noa's Reviews > Assistant to the Villain

"Congratulations, Sage, from this day forward, you are my new personal assistant. And if you must call me anything, 'sir' will do just fine."

Villain Seeking Assistant.
That's what he advertised. That's what he told Evie that day in the forest.
5 months later and Evie is the personal assistant to The Villain.
The most notorious "Villain" anyone had ever known.
So what harm is a little, teeny weeny, itsy bitsy crush?
No harm no foul right?
But when Evie finds out there might be a traitor in their midst and wants to take The Villain down?
Well, evil is starting to look a little better…

"He belonged to this, the night, the darkness. It was his. And Evie… was still not afraid."

The Villain needed a personal assistant.
And along strolled Evangelina Sage into the forest.
Five months later and he passes her daily walking into his office.
Every single day. He never misses her.
He doesn't want to. But he doesn't allow himself to indulge in those feelings.
He is "The Villain" after all.
But maybe Evie isn’t as innocent as he might have though.
Maybe Evie has more bad than he might have thought…

"No matter how hard you resist, that path, it will find you. Evangelina Sage had found him."

I have waited for this book for legit so long! I have followed this author ever since she put up short TikTok videos with this concept and now a full book!! And OMG it was sooooo good. While I did want spiciness and all (hopefully in the next books 🤞🤞🤞) the chemistry and relationship between Evie and The Villain was so good!!

"He truly hated being wrong, but he supposed if he'd defer being right to anyone, it was to Sage"

I mean The Villain and Evie definitely gave me Fran and Max from "The Nanny" vibes and that is EVERYTHING!! Every interaction they had I ate it up and asked for seconds people!!

"As if anyone would ever want to watch you and me argue."

Evie is a scatterbrain and clumsy but she is adorable. The Villain is dark and mysterious. But Evie isn't afraid if anything it's something she might even be falling for…

"No matter how hard you resist, that path, it will find you. Evangelina Sage had found him."

And while there was not a lot of spice, you can definitely see a side coming out that I have no problems with 😏😏

"You meant her harm. And that is enough for me."

"I would never make the mistake of underestimating a woman like you. It would be a fatal one."

"She was everything he never deserved but longed for anyway."
