3.75 stars This tale of a hair-raising heist game was filled with twists and turns. The beginning was slow to pick up but when it did it was nonstop. I will look forward to the next in this series.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group for accepting my request for an ARC of this book!
“A Quest can’t trust anyone in this world— except for a Quest”
I personally can’t tell you how many times I laughed out loud during the first chapter of this book! The introduction for me was certainly memorable! I enjoyed reading the story and meeting the other characters. The other characters that show up in the book I felt had flushed out backstories and motives. I enjoyed knowing that the other contestants were from different parts of the world, it made the competition seem in a way.. More realistic. The humor that was thrown in throughout the book was also a helpful break from the oh so seriousness of the plot.

I finished this book and immediately requested book two because that cliff hanger might have ruined me for the entire year.
High stakes balanced beautifully comedy. Heist, puzzles, competitions- It was so much fun! If you loved the inheritance games and the hunger games (book one) you'll eat this book up!
Twelves teens competing to be recognized as the best thief of a new generation and win the prize of one wish, a wish for anything!

Has good potential. It just wasn't what I was in the mood for. 50% chance I may return to reading it in the future.
