I just finished reading an eArc of Such Charming Liars by Karen M. McManus. The eARC was provided by NetGalley.
For as long as it mattered, it's always been Kat and Jamie. And Gem. Well, except that one time Jamie got married in Vegas and Kat had a step-brother Liam for a whopping 48 hours. But Jamie is tired of their life as jewel thieves, and is absolutely getting out from under Gem; after one more job. The last job takes place on the Sutherland compound, and when Liam and Jamie's ex husband Luke show up, it puts Kat and Jamie on a crash course with their past that neither one of them is prepared for.
This was a fun book. The POV switches between Kat-- who is street smart, tough, resourceful and defensive and Liam who is sweet, heartbroken, and way less jaded that his 48-hour step sister. As with most of McManus' works, the end throws twists and turns that keep you guessing from one minute to the next. Having read all of her other works, I found Such Charming Liars to be the least believable of the group-- a 16 year old participating in high stakes jewelry theft was just a little reaching for me-- never the less McManus rights interesting and flawed characters so well. While I may not have believed every event, I did enjoy the read.
