Heist Society


When you wake up in the morning, do you immediately locate four different escape routes for that room? Do you worry about being connected to your family? Are you ever concerned that if you don't make the deadline that you may lose someone you love? Heist Society by Ally Carter could never be complete without the plans, mystery, and all of the action that revolves around a good heist.

Katarina Bishob is ready to be done with her life of stealing. What she thought would be her final crime was conning a way into the most respected boarding school in the country, but in all fifteen years of her life, she wouldn't have expected to be framed and kicked out of school- for another heist. This assignment isn't one that Kat can pass up though, the stakes are much higher. Someone has stolen a powerful figurehead's collection of priceless paintings, and unless they're returned he plans to get revenge on the only person who could have committed the crime- Kat's father. Unfortunately for Kat, no one will believe the truth: that Kat's father didn't steal the paintings. Now, with her team of skilled and underage con artists, Kat begins to plan her greatest and most dangerous crime of all, wiht her target being none other than one of the most highly guarded museums ever, the Henley. Can Kat rescue the paintings before the deadline, or will she get caught int he process?

This book is by one of my all-time favorite authors. Who wouldn't love an author who writes such detailed schemes? Carter creates the perfect balance between danger, romance, and mystery in every one of her stories. If you ever need a book about girl pwer, Carter can easily provide one, always keeping you interested with surprising twists.

Will Kat be able to make her deadline? Is there someone she can't trust on her team? Can she save her dad from certain death or jail? Read Heist Society by Ally Carter and you'll be planning your own mini (and hopefully not illegal) heist as soon as you're finished.
