This definitely scratched the itch for a Jennifer Lynn Barnes and Six of Crows-esque action heist novel.

Although some plot points were predictable, overall the novel was able to keep things interesting and fresh. I loved the rivalry between Rosalyn and Noelia, and although she acted super unhinged, the romance between Rosalyn and Devroe was very intriguing.

My only complaint is that the pacing felt a bit off - I think developing Rosalyn's relationship with her mother at the start of the novel would've really helped me feel more connected with her motivations.

I definitely think this book will look so good on the big screen and that they'll be able to smooth out the kinks. It was super bingeable and a very easy, fun read. I'm super excited for book 2 & the potential movie adaption!!

The only life that Ross and her family has ever known is the world of thievery, trained from a young age to commit professional heists, she desires to live a normal life but her mom stands in the way of it. When a heist goes wrong, Ross enters a competition, thieves’ gambit, to save her family. Ross finds along the way that her family’s ways aren’t always the best ways and never trust a thief applies to her family as well. This story was action-packed and engaging throughout, ready for book two!

This book hooked me right away. A teenage thief who wants to get away from her family to be a normal teenager? A will they or won’t they relationship? Will they betray each other or stay loyal? This book has all of that. I cannot wait for the second installment as I read this one in a day!
