Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud
viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an
Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance.
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.

It's time to rediscover her magic . . .
Belladonna Blackthorn hasn’t lost her magical spark, but she hasn’t
seen it in a while either. Balancing work at her beloved London
bookshop, Lunar Books, with handling her toxic boss and concealing her
witchcraft from those around her – Belle is burnt out. Perfecting the
potential of her magic is the last thing on her mind.
But, when her thirtieth birthday brings a summons from her coven and a
trial that tests her worthiness as a witch, Belle risks losing her
magic for ever. With the month of October to fix things and signs that
dark forces may be working against her, Belle will need all the help
she can get – from the women in her life, from an unlikely mentor
figure and even from an (infuriating) coven watchman who’s sworn to
protect her . . .
With found family, a dash of romance and an uplifting message about
self-love, Rewitched is a cosy autumnal fantasy that will leave readers
spellbound.
Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018 'The best
fantasy debut of 2018' - WIRED A brilliantly imaginative epic
fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China's twentieth
century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju
- the test to find the most talented students in the Empire - it
was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn't
believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without
cheating; to Rin's guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying
her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from
a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard - the most elite
military school in Nikan - was even more surprising. But surprises
aren't always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from
the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice
of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal,
unearthly power - an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of
shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of
psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns
that gods long thought dead are very much alive - and that
mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school.
For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen
still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for
decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the
continent in the Second. And while most people calmly go about
their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark
away...
