I really liked this!! Once I got through the first trial thing I was so hooked. I did guess most of the ending but part of it had me gagged. Can’t wait to read the next one!!
Did not expect the swerve, but looking forward to seeing it play out in book 2.
I would like to call this book an unexpected surprise, not because I thought it is going to be bad or anything but I did not expect it to be so gripping. I absolutely enjoyed the ride that this book is, a sequence of heists, a group of strangers from criminal families to compete against for one wish that would be granted if they win the Gambit, one wish of ANYTHING under the sky. Obviously the stakes are high so the risks are high accompanied with betrayals and ruthless backstabbing. I devoured this book in 48hrs, it is not only an entertaining read but also the heists are written so impeccably. I am quite surprised that I am not seeing this book everywhere given how good it is
The main character Ross Quest is quite likable who is being suffocated by her mother under the guise of protecting her against the world, she yearns to get rid of the shackles and live a life of freedom but a last minute heist with her mother goes haywire forcing her to join the infamous Thieves Gambit. She is untrustworthy of everyone and hesitant to form alliances but Devroe manages to charm his way into her heart, with a cute love story and nerve biting action this is a perfect pick me up if you love movies like Now you see me, Ocean's Eleven and any heist adventures for the matter.

The plot, the action, the story was good- I just couldn’t get beyond the idea of 17 year olds pulling off these heists. I would have liked this when I was younger, but I rated it down due to the age vs real life experience of the protagonists

I don’t know what to say. This didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. It just felt so silly all the time, I couldn’t take any of it seriously. The only character I properly liked was Mylo and he barely did anything!
Ross bored me, she had potential but felt lacklustre. Devroe had about as much charm as I have in my pinkie toe - the book told us over and over again that he was charming and suave…but did it show that? No.
This just felt underdeveloped to me. It was going for a lot but just didn’t hit. It just felt really, really dumb, I’m sorry. Ross, girl, just get out of there. What do you need to steal for anyone? For some tacky shoes? Pass.
The ending was a mess and mostly predictable. I shan’t be going near book 2.
