I am assuming that the Kat that Hale and her family knows was maybe, I don't know, nice to them. To me she came off as selfish, demanding, and not really friendly. But Katarina Bishop.I couldn't root for her. I'm just saying stealing in general is wrong.) I wanted this to be an Oceans 11 or a Six of Crows, where I was holding my breath throughout the plan and crossing my fingers that they were able to pull it off. I don't think Kat's motivations in this story were wrong at all.

(Note: I am just talking wrong on a very, very basic level.

In order to cheer for something that is fundamentally wrong, I have to want to root for the characters. Especially here, because we are talking (technically) about a crime. Those who are familiar with my reading style and reviews know that I commonly say if I don't like the main character, or any character, in the book, I struggle with it. But to me this book had an (2) Unlikable Main Character. I adored the Gallagher Girls series, and flew through all 6 books on audio in a matter of months. First of all, the trap of (1) Expectation. But finally, a few weeks ago, I was looking for a quick audiobook that I was sure I'd enjoy to tide me over as I waited for one from the library. Whoo hoo! I jumped on it.and that was almost a year ago. Then I found a sale on the audiobook for Heist Society for $6. But the series never quite made it too far up the TBR list. I actually own all three books in this series - the second one is even signed and personalized by Ally Carter. This is one of those books that has been on my TBR for the longest time. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family's history-and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.įor Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it.

Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring Kat back into the world she tried so hard to escape. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected. 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. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it.
