This was a fun, interesting story. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where monsters arrived out of nowhere and a great war erupted. Finally a treaty was met and now monsters and humans live side by side even though not every side agrees on the deal.
Our main character, Kierse, makes a living from thieving and she is very good at it. That is until she breaks into the wrong home. From there she meets Graves, who is attractive yet intimidating figure. Instead of doing away with her for breaking in, he offers her a job. One that will test everything they believe in.
The characters were great. Kierse was loyal, fierce and fun to read. Graves was a good character as well but he was so secretive, it was hard getting settled down with him. The story was adventurous and never let up. There were some quite steamy scenes scattered in the book. I honestly did a lot of eye-rolling during this period but can see where some would really like it.
The story definitely had a bunch of entertainment and I look forward to book two.
