Our rating

Spice 4/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: high. Darkness: dark.

Kierse is a thief in a New York still scarred by a war with monsters, and she gets caught breaking into the house of Graves, a centuries-old something who offers her a job instead of killing her. Beauty and the Beast bones and plenty of heat. The first act is slow.
