She stole from a monster - now she must pay the price . . .
Street thief Kierse should have known something wasn't right. Now she's trapped in a library - with a monster. She can't run. She can't hide. And this man - this being, filled with terrible power and darkness - is well within his rights to kill her.
By trespassing, Kierse has broken the fragile peace treaty between monsters and humans. But instead of killing her, Graves does the unexpected: he offers her a job. A chance to find out who she really is.
Kierse has always known she's different. That she can do things a little better, a little faster. And there's that sense she has when danger is only a breath away. But if the old tales are true, there are worse things in the world than monsters.
Like a threat more ancient than legend. Like Graves. Or like Kierse herself . . .

“And what is your word worth, Monster?”
This dark Romantasy inspired by Beauty and the Beast will catch you right at the beginning until you turn the last page. A strong female lead with nimble fingers, twisted tales and action-packed missions - don´t forget the monsters – will make you love this book! I have dived right into the story, expecting something very different, but I wasn´t disappointed. The inspiriation from Beauty and the Beast is very loosely and expanded with other new tales in the story itself. Linde focuses more on the plot line of monsters and magic than on the love story, which I found very refreshing. That doesn´t mean the love story is in the background, but the character development and missions are more important. The love story itself was very charming, with a morally grey love interest and sparkling chemistry. A great start to a series with much potential. -

Great plot - not so great adaption
The plot idea about celtic myth and legend being real started out great, the magic system was intresting and the writing style fluid but then it became cliché and predictable and that shattered my first impression a little. I hope for an improvement in the second book.
