There are a lot of great books with very original concepts, and this is certainly one of them. Not only does Carter merge two series into one awesome crossover, she does it in a way that means the reader isn't lost if they didn't read either or both of those series. It was fun and filled with twists, and it was not too predictable.

I love anything that Ally Carter puts out. This crossover between two of her sseries was everything a girl could ever hope for. I would love even more books with these worlds coming together.

I loved jumping back into the Heist Society/Gallagher Girls world with this novella! It was short but full of action and romance and this is exactly what we all begged for.

I LOVE Ally Carter. This was so much fun. It was short, cute and I loved seeing characters from different series brought in together, but since they were from the same world, they were able to form an easy camaraderie, and it was so well executed.

A short and sweet crossover, even though it didn’t necessarily add anything to the series. I look forward to checking more books by this author in the future.

This novella was short and sweet. Just long enough to get a feel for the characters, but not too long as to make it a short story.
I feel I was a little too old to truly appreciate this novella, that being said, I enjoyed the writing style, the glitz and glam of the world presented and the guts of the protagonist!

Just like all other books by this amazing author, I loved this one just as much as the others I've read. Her writing style is fantastic and had me sucked into the story right away.

Double Crossed ist eine wunderbare und dazu noch ausgesprochen amüsante Novelle, die zu lesen einfach Spaß macht und deren einziges Manko darin besteht wieder viel zu schnell vorbei zu sein.
Es ist eine fantastische Idee von Ally Carter Charaktere aus zwei verschiedenen Welten bzw. Serien – Gallagher Girls und Heist Society – aufeinandertreffen zu lassen und sehr interessant zu sehen wie sie hier miteinander interagieren. Dadurch kann man eine bereits bekannte Figur auf einmal mit ganz anderen Augen betrachten, nämlich aus der Perspektive einer anderen schon bekannten Person. Es ist wirklich spannend zu erfahren, wie es auf einen Außenstehenden wirken muss, wenn Macey plötzlich ihre Tarnung fallen lässt und ein echtes Gallagher Girl mit ungeahnten Fähigkeiten aus ihr wird.

Es ist außerdem toll die lieb gewonnenen Figuren aus verschiedenen Reihen auf diese Weise ein weiteres Mal treffen zu können und die Handlung erstmals aus der Sicht von Charakteren zu erleben, die sonst nur Nebenrollen spielen bzw. zumindest noch nie selbst zu Wort gekommen sind, sodass man nun an ihren Gedanken teilhaben kann. Dank verschiedener Perspektiven hat man darüber hinaus nicht nur einen guten Einblick in mehrere Figuren, darunter natürlich Macey und Hale, sondern auch in das Geschehen inner-und außerhalb des Hotels, in dem die Geiseln festgehalten werden.

Macey und Hale waren in der Tat eine hervorragende Wahl für die Hauptfiguren in dieser Novelle. Sie sind erfrischend ehrlich und direkt, was in Kombination mit ihrem wunderbaren Sarkasmus für einige tolle Dialoge zwischen ihnen sorgt. Zudem haben sie sehr vielseitige Talente und ergeben, zusammen mit Kat und Abby, ein tolles Team. Abby ist einem ohnehin wieder sehr sympathisch, vor allem am Ende. Kat, Macey und Hale hat man jedoch mindestens ebenso gern.

Die Handlung ist überaus fesselnd, denn Ally Carter gelingt es schon auf so wenigen Seiten Spannung aufzubauen und eine gute Geschichte zu erzählen. Mit dem Ende kann sie ebenfalls überzeugen; die Auflösung ist ihr gut gelungen und macht definitiv Lust auf mehr. Es wäre zu schön, wenn die Charaktere später tatsächlich noch einmal aufeinander treffen würden, egal ob nun in einer weiteren Novelle oder in einer der folgenden Heist Society Fortsetzungen.

*FAZIT*

Double Crossed ist eine großartige Novelle und ein tolles Extra für die Fans beider Serien oder solche, die es noch werden wollen. Sie enthält keine Spoiler, kann daher durchaus unabhängig von den anderen Büchern gelesen werden und eignet sich auch gut dafür einen ersten Eindruck von den beiden Reihen und der Autorin zu gewinnen.

Ally Carter never disappoints--she is an excellent writer for a reason, and her stories always capture my interest. 

This one was no different, though I did feel it fell into a pretty typical rhythm and it did not surprise me in anyway, which was a little bit of a letdown.

overall, though, I will definitely continue to look out for this author's books, as she's a staple for teens who enjoy spy and thriller books featuring a strong female lead.

Great read, especially for those who love the Gallagher Girls and Heist Society novels.  
On the flip side, it would be a great introducion to both of these series, because afterreading his novell you would want to follwo aon and read both series.

I couldn't finish this one. It started out slow and didn't improve for me. I didn't like the author's writing style so it made it hard for me to get into the characters and the plot.

Double Crossed is a cute little crossover (I see what you did there) between Gallagher Girls and Heist Society. Plot-wise, this novella doesn’t do much relevant to either series as a whole, except to set up potential future crossovers. Totally worth reading though to watch Hale and Macey flirt but not with each other, and also to see Hale being totally adorable about how in love he is with Kat.

I received a free copy from NetGalley.  Very short, so super quick to read.  It reminded me of a BookShot.  I've come to discover it ties together characters from the author's two series.  I was interested enough in the characters to want to read others in the series, to see what a full length story is like.  A good way to see if you might like the other books by this author without having to spend too much time on the discovery.

Having read the Gallagher Girls series but not the Heist Society series, this was a fun little novella. I especially enjoyed being introduced to new characters and catching up with old favourites. I love it when authors combine 2 of their 'worlds' into one as it always brings out new sides to their characters that maybe you wouldn't expect from their main storylines.
Please accept my apologies for not sending any feedback until now.

Compelling story, loved the characters, didn't want it to end.

This book was added to my shelf five years ago. I was initially interested in reading it with my teen daughter as I thought it would be a fun book to read together, but it didn't appeal to her. I am therefore no longer interested in reading it and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

When I first requested this book I was reading the Heist Society's series. At first it was entertained enough, but I really lost interest as it felt kind of childish for me. I mean, the plot itself would've been interesting, if I were 13 at the moment I was reading it, which I wasn't. 

So, I read a few pages, but I soon realized that I wasn't really all that interested in getting into this world, since it didn't feel like something I would like. Again, maybe if I were younger, it would've piked my interest, but at the moment it just didn't.

I loved seeing these two worlds from Ally Carter collide in this novella! Double Crossed sees Gallagher Girl, Macey, team up with Heist Society thieves, Hale and Kat, to stop a robbery. It was a page turner from the start and such a welcome addition to these two series.

I'm a huge fan of Ally Carter's so perhaps I'm biased based on previous books I've read but i felt that this read wasn't quite up to scratch. It had the excitement, drama and general spy-ness but it didn't keep me on my toes. I wasn't dying to learn more. It was definitely a quick read but not up to the usual high standard i expect from this author.

Where there's money there's deceit.  An edge of your seat mystery.
