Yes ACOMAF is spicy, and much more so than the first book! My overall opinion is that there is a good amount of sexual tension and spice without detracting from the overall plot. I'd give it around a 3.5/5 spice rating. There are also some hot, flirty moments between Rhysand and Feyre.

Everyone knows about ACoMaF being based on Hades and Persephone, but Beauty and the Beast was actually based off the greek myth of Eros and Psyche, and ACoTaR is far more similar to the myth than the fairytale. It's quite a long myth to tell but you should really look it up.
