Ran across 'Assistant to the Villain' on Libby as an audiobook, thought it sounded fun.
I regret it.
I want to know what happens next but the narrator is abysmal. She sounds so much like an AI voice - complete with awkward pauses and bad pronunciation of unusual words - that I had to look her up and make sure she was a real person. I've actually taken to occasionally re-narrating out loud with better inflection to drown her out. I'll probably stick it out until the end of the book, but... Sorry, Em Eldridge, you're going on my 'never again' list.
