Barnes & NobleNOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. ā Mgmt
Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhatā¦er, out-of-evil-office.
But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signsāKingsleyās includedāpoint to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdomās magic, and itās made The Villainās manor vulnerable to their enemies...including their nemesis, the king.
Now itās time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villainās lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.
Itās time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. Itās all soā¦soā¦delightfully fun.
But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

Star Rating: Spice Level: All-Time FavoriteSeries: Once Upon a Broken Heart #1 Published by Flatiron Books on 09/28/2021
Format: Kindle (416 pages)
Add to GoodreadsBuy on AmazonI started OUABH immediately after finishing Finale, and Iām glad I did. I was not a huge fan of Jacks at the end of Finale, but I was very curious about what would happen to him. Where will he go, how will he cope, what hijinks will he get up to? I needed to know more. For a general timeline, the first 1/4 of OUABH overlaps the last 3/4 of Finale. In true Stephanie Garber fashion, OUABH sucked me right back into the wonderful world she created in Caraval. I thoroughly enjoyed being thrust back into that world […]

Add to GoodreadsBuy on AmazonHands down one of the best books Iāve read this year. Snarky dragons, unique magical abilities, lovable side characters, and on top of all that, a badass FMC with a disability, and a MMC that literally wields shadows. Sign me up. Violet & Xaden are perfect. Dain is the worst, and OMG Liam, sweet Liam. (Sigh) I will forever be scarred by the battle of Athebyne. ā¤ļø The cliffhanger ending left me reeling, and I canāt wait for book 2.
