I've waited so long to get my hands on this book. Ally Carter is one of my favorite author, I love her Gallagher Academy series.
So when I got her new series I was so happy to read it.
I'm my opinion I didn't like the way the first chapter started. I also don't think the names of the characters really rolls of the tongue, they seem a lot similar to the names of the nook of the hunger game.
Heist Society. Hunger Games
Katharine-Kate. I've waited so long to get my hands on this book. Ally Carter is one of my favorite author, I love her Gallagher Academy series.

Katharine-Kate. Katniss
Hale. Gale-friend
Hamish and Angus. Hamish-Katniss mentor

At first I thought her name was Katharine Bishop, to me that sounds a lot better then katarina Bishop. Another then names sounding wrong reading this books. It's such amazing book. kal was kicked out of Cologan school, by her friend Hale and her cousin Gabrielle. They helped her to get kicked out so hr can help her dad who may or may not have stolen some painting from a well known mobster Arturo Taccone.
I love the banter kat has with Hale. When I was reading Heist Society for the first time, I was under the impression he was an older guy. But beacuse of the way he was brought up, with his mom and dad really not giving him the love he needs and only having his butler Marcus take care of him.
Kate's family alike took him in so that was great to hear.
I love the relationship Hale and Kate have.
Kat's crew that color the Henley or museum is the best crew. There funny they don't have that much gadgets like 007 but they know there stuff. I give Kate Kudos for handling herself with Arturo Taccone.
When I read Heist Society to ,me it seems that Arturo Taccone know jr was already after Kat and her dad.

So all in all it was great book. I recommend this book to all and happy to hear what you my friends think of it :) till next time

God Bless

Ok so I finally finished this book an I agree with my sister on how the names sounds so much alike with the hunger games BOOKS (Not the movie I don't care for the movie). But other then that the books was truly great and I did enjoy it I am a bit nervouse with book two but this book for me is must read if your into with type of books like this like I am.

I was going to say Ally Carter's books are a guilty pleasure for me...but then I realized I am more than willing to admit out loud that I read YA Spy Chick Lit. It's way better than YA Chick Lit, come on, the "Gallagher Girl" series is like "Alias, the teen years" and "Heist Society" is a great start to a series in the similar vein. I love anything with a good mystery, and I might be a bit lame but as I read ths book about Kat re-emersing herself in the family busniess (*cough* Art Thieves *coug ...more
