Heist Society, by the ever entertaining Ally Carter, was
once again, not what I expected. Now, granted I didn’t read the book
description, I just went off of the cover, and the fact that after I finished
the Gallagher Girls series, I wanted to keep reading her books. All of this
though, is beside the point. The first book in this series was, very much, a
good read. In this book we find the main character, Katarina, about to be in
trouble at her new private school for putting her headmaster’s car on top of a
fountain. She has quit the thief live for good, and just wants to be a normal
girl getting an education. Unfortunately, someone (a mob man is my best guess)
thinks that Kat’s dad stole his precious paintings, and he’s only giving two
weeks until he starts hurting the people Kat loves…her family (which is also a
ring of thieves). This book takes them all over the world as they try and
figure out who actually took the paintings, why, and how in the hell they are
going to get them back.
I’m giving this book a four. It was a very fast and
entertaining read. I loved the brother characters more than anyone else. They
were very funny, and perfectly mischievous. The rest of the characters were
also very well done, but the brothers were my favorites. I liked this book
because it intertwined a few things from the Gallagher Girls series, and I was
really, really hoping it would (who’s excited to get to the crossover book? This
girl!). The only thing I wasn’t too sure about in this book was the narration.
It may be that I just didn’t pay enough attention to the narration, and only
felt like it switched, but, for the most part, I just wish it would have exclusively
from Kat’s point of view. As I mentioned before, this book was funny (thanks to
the brothers), but it also had a sense of danger and suspense attached to it
that I was really happy about. It had a few twists that I didn’t expect, but
not so many that I was over it. Overall, I’m excited to get started on this
next book.
