This book is everything I wanted the Inheritance Games to be (no shade to the Inheritance Games, but also I was underwhelmed)!

Literally nailed everything - characters, plot, pacing, suspense! I read this so fast!

The whole thing was just so much fun! The concept of the global heists was already good enough, but there's also the perfect amount of plot twists to keep you guessing at every step!

The only problem with getting this as an ARC is that I will now have to wait so incredibly long for a sequel :((((

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with a review copy! All opinions are my own.

⭐️ Rating - 4

Although targeted at Young Adult/Teen readers, the book captivated me with its heart-racing suspense! It reminded me of a Hunger Games-style scenarios (minus the un-aliving) and Ocean's Eleven heists.

I appreciated the diversity of the characters and found the main character, Ross, to be a formidable and tough young woman. The witty exchanges between characters were a delight, and the development of friendships was heart-warming. However, the twists and turns towards the end left me astonished and eager for a sequel.

Learning that this book is being adapted into a movie, I am certainly looking forward to watching it!

This is a 3.5-star story that struggles a little extra due to 2.5-star writing. It’s fast paced and decently clever, but has the same mid vibe as Inheritance Games/Brothers Hawthorne. The end has some genuinely surprising twists, but just when they drop, they remain underdeveloped and then it’s over.
