Assistant to the Villain partial Audiobook review

 I am currently going through a bit of a "Villain" phase fiction wise. For some reason, I am finding myself drawn towards characters that are most often vilified and hated. Probably because I enjoy seeing all the nuances that went into such a complex creation. That was most likely why I immediately got Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer. 

I am only halfway through it. The blurb said it was like 'Once Upon a Time' meets the 'The Office'. This was not an exaggeration. I was cracking up like a loon as I cooked dinner while listening. Blurb below:

ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal, levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion a must. Excellent benefits.

With ailing family to support, Evie Sage’s employment status isn’t just important, it’s vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn’s most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don’t find evil so attractive, Evie.
But just when she’s getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat…and not just the literal kind. Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out.
Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure out exactly who is sabotaging his work…and ensure he makes them pay.
After all, a good job is hard to find.

Yeah, if you're looking for some serious chuckle material, look no further. Feel free to tell me you're thoughts about Assistant to the Villain below.

P.S. I finished it! It is definitely worth the listen (or read, if you prefer). Let it be noted that this tale ends in a cliffhanger. Part two come out fall of 2024. Yes, I was bummed out. You would be too. I want to know what will happen next.

When you go down wormholes.......

 There is such a thing as a YouTube wormhole. Once you enter, it may be hours or days before you come back to the real world. I am prone to this pitfall.

Studio Choom is one of my wormholes. The moment I watch the latest choreo, I suddenly find myself watching past videos and from there looking at all the latest choreography from other dancers. 

Another wormhole of mine is villain music. You know those playlists that some people make that are full of wonderful songs that seem to perfectly fit your character's backstory. Well this I one weakness of mine. I can spend hours looking into songs that fit the feel.I'm looking for.

Of any of you have wormholes that suck you in, tell me about it below. Or just say hi. Up to you.

Plans........

 It has come to my notice that 128 GB may be to little to hold every movie my dad wants. He needs an upgrade. And yes, I will be paying for it. Having his data scattered causes loads of mental stress. I'm paranoid that I might somehow lose his stuff and how would I explain it?

I am also sorry I forgot to post on time this week. It was another busy week and I forgot until now. I will try to be on time next week. As always, fell free to leave a message below.

Eric Nam's new album releases Sep.8th

 As some may know, Eric Nam is on my playlist. So when I heard that he had a new album coming out, I was beyond excited. I was ecstatic. Getting to hear more of Eric Nam's voice is wonderful. Sidenote: My autocorrect hates his last name. It kept changing it to Ham or Man.

So far, he has released to two music videos for songs that will be on the album. Please check put below.



Does it pass the vibe check? I think so. Also, sorry for the late post. Life got in the way. As always, feel free to leave a comment below.

Against the Current and Wifi!

 Last one first, I got connected to the WiFi again! It was a painful two weeks without it. I don't think I'll ever make a dent in my email situation. There is too many in there to begin with.

And now First things last, Against the Current. Against The Current (often abbreviated as ATC) is an American rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, formed in 2011. The band currently consists of lead vocalist Chrissy Costanza, guitarist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.  They are a unique blend of rock, pop, alternative rock, and synth-rock. 

They are super jammable. I have been known to listen to them on repeat. Their sound reminds me of my angsty teen years a little, just more mature. If that makes any sense. Check them out below.





Good, right? They are currently on tour so I am waiting for them to release a new album. As always, feel free to leave a message below.
