Heist Society by Ally Carter
Dec. 1st, 2011 08:00 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her to the Louvre … to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie travelled to Austria … to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own – scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind.
But now her dad’s life is on the line, and Kat must go back to the world she tried so hard to escape …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Ally Carter’s novel, the first in a new crime thriller series, is a mix of OCEAN’S ELEVEN and THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR for teens. It’s a frothy, light-hearted romp with an interesting, resourceful and dynamic main character and a promising series arc. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
HEIST SOCIETY was released in the UK on 1st September 2011. Thanks to Orchard Books for the ARC of this book.
