Sincerely, Secretary Of Doom by Jennifer Kropf
MY REVIEW: This was such a strong addition to the series, and I enjoyed it from beginning to end🥹✨
One of my favorite things about this book was the balance between the darker themes and the humor woven throughout the story. The characters were entertaining, the banter kept me smiling, and the lighter moments provided the perfect contrast to the more serious parts of the plot.
I also loved spending more time with these characters and seeing their stories continue to unfold. There was so much heart in this book, and it left me even more excited to continue the series🤍
If you’re planning to pick this one up, I would highly recommend reading the first book beforehand. So much of the character development, relationships, and backstory build on one another, and I think you’ll appreciate this story even more with that foundation.
Overall, this was a fantastic read, and I can’t wait to see where the series goes next✨

BLURB: The High Court of the Coffee Bean returns with a sassy, wicked streak.
Months after the deadly assassins-turned-baristas left the Four Corners of Ever behind for good, Doom comes knocking at Mor Trisencor’s door. And it’s wearing stilettos.
When the Fairy Post gets an unexpected, grand following in the human realm for its vintage feel and whimsical words, Mor gets busier than ever typing out articles, following up on leads of fairy mischief, and everything else that goes along with being a faeborn reporter. But his heavy workload comes to a screeching halt when he spots someone in the human realm that shouldn’t be there—an old foe of his. One he thought he would never see again. One he’d prayed to the sky deities that he wouldn’t cross paths with after the day Mor abandoned the Shadow Army, leaving a trail of flames and destruction in his wake. For the first time since the Fairy Post was published, the newspaper gets put on hold and Mor goes hunting.
Mor can think of nothing else but stopping this foe before ripples of doom begin to stir up the human realm.
Violet Miller is a journalist with a mysterious past her amnesia forbids her from remembering. But when she gets let go from her job at the most prestigious news station in the city, her unexplained past becomes the least of her problems. She thinks it’s all over for her as a journalist, until she sees a job posting for a secretary position at a niche, laughable “old school style” newspaper called The Fairy Post.
The day Violet shows up at Mor’s house—or, creepy, dark cathedral is more like it—is the day that everything changes for her. Before Violet even has a chance to ask about the job, she’s mistakenly marked as Mor’s lover by his “enemies” and she finds herself in the crosshairs of a battle of inhuman creatures who’d rather “stab first and ask questions later.”
This marks the beginning of a love-hate relationship (mostly hate) between a fae assassin born of the Shadows, and a lipstick-wearing, mascara wielding human born to be in the spotlight.
While reading this second installment of the High Court of the Coffee Bean series, you may find yourself craving macarons, listening to the wind for signs of fairy magic, and wishing you had a “creepy, dark, creaking, abandoned cathedral” of your own to call home.
