Heist Society dives straight in to Katarina’s life at Colgan school, as we see her being expelled for stealing the principals car and wedging it into a fountain. It’s all a ploy, of course, as W W Hale the Fifth shows up to take her home and we find out Kat is one of the best thieves around, and comes from a whole family of thieves. (BTW, I feel bad calling them thieves, and I wish there was a better word.) The whole thing leads Kat back into a life of crime - her dad needs her help as a mean crime boss threatens his life as he assumes Kat’s dad stole his paintings and he tasks Kat with the job of stealing them back, which she obviously accepts because who wouldn’t try to help their family?
I loved this book so much. It was all so fun and the jumping from location to location was incredible. I loved the crew Kat put together and I hope that’s a feature in the next two books and I LOVE Hale. I am desperate to know his name, but I assume that will be a running joke through the series. I’m intrigued to see if they also keep up the part of the mysterious Visili Romani. I have a few ideas who it may be but I have no idea if I’m correct.
This was honestly such a fun novel. I’ve not had this much fun reading in a while and it’s so nice to read something that’s light and fun with a bit of thrill added into the mix also. I can’t wait to see what this group gets up to next time, and I just love Ally Carter’s writing. I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to read one of her books but believe me when I say I am now going to devour everything she’s ever written so fast, because Heist Society was incredible!
