Reborn as the Villain's Lackey [Novel]

After dying, Faith awakens in a fairy tale world from a book she read as a child. With no memories of how she died, she has to survive in a new body that once belonged to Kaeda, one of the lead villain’s lackeys. But in the novel, Kaeda is destined to die!

To avoid dying again, Faith uses her knowledge of the novel to survive a fantasy world at war and avoid Kaeda's fate. But as the story unravels from a new perspective, she finds unexpected love -- and realizes that the villain and hero are not what they seem. Who is the true villain of this story? And can Faith find her own happily ever after in this fairy tale?

Reviews

Ugh this was so good and ended my trashy romance spiral. I loved how the relationships developed and I loved being able to feel like I was reading a manga without having to put aside hours to read one.

It was ok. Didn't know this was not a fully contained book

DNF. Sorry but the banter sounded so forced and the "plucky" action of the female MC were such at odds with her other characterization, many times between paragraph, that it looked schyzoprenic. But it was mostly the banter. Is she like 14? Didn't she already had a boyfriend? And wasn't the guy already married and with a child? They act like preteens who are barely out of the "cooties" phase.

yeah, as a romance this book fails kind of hard.
