Summary: When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own—scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected.
Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring Kat back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.
For Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family's history--and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way.
My Thoughts: I love Ally Carter her writing always makes me just sit back and giggle. Why, you might ask? Because her lovable characters and twisted plot line creates an alluring story that makes her books hard to put down. Although this story had a different story than the Gallagher Girl series it had the same character set up. In all of Ally Carters books the main character power-girl always has a handsome side kick that tends to be a cute guy(Do you see where I am going with this). Overall this book was a quick fun read with a crazy plot line that left you biting your nails until the last page.
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
One word sum up: Funny
