Books Like Little Thieves

Little Thieves is morally grey, enemies to lovers & slow burn — sweet (1/5), first-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.

Vanja Schmidt — adopted goddaughter of Death and Fortune — stole her mistress's identity using enchanted pearls and has been living as a jewel thief ever since. When an offended god curses her to turn to gemstone piece by piece, she has two weeks to repay every debt before the curse kills her, all while dodging a relentless half-god investigator named Emeric and the dangerous noble who wants her silenced. It is a wickedly irreverent retelling of the Brothers Grimm's 'The Goose Girl', told from the point of view of the maid who played the villain.
