Whoa!! What a book! I couldn’t stop reading and loved the twists and turns it took from start to finish!! I loved the multiple cultures represented and feel like lots of high school students would have fun reading this! Great YA suspense novel! I’m super excited to see the “#1” on the cover here because I literally hoped this would be a series!! This would make a fantastic movie too!!

I fully intended to drop this at page 100. The dump of character descriptions, dry narrative, and Ross’s mother, who didn’t really sound like one to me hadn’t caught my interest.
But then that girl got shot, and I kept reading. The rivalry between Ross and Noelia was also good. For the longest, there was more tension between these two than Devroe before he took the lead.
While I liked Devroe's consistency in trying to get Ross to open up, the romance was more in the background.
When the actual heists took place, I found the motivation to continue. I felt for Ross’ heavy guards and want for companionship despite the line of work she was born into. She grew up isolated and forced into thievery. But as a character, she was boring.
I don’t think I’d have regretted dnf’ing, but I’m glad I stuck around to see it get better. The ending chapters were fast-paced and fun. Ultimately, this will appeal to readers who love plot-driven stories as opposed to character-driven.

The concept of this book is phenomenal. A YA heist challenge with a bit of mystery with an incredibly diverse crew who's backgrounds are integral to the plot, feelings getting involved, a strong and clever FMC, and cool challenges, this book was set up for success.
Unfortunately, some parts fell a little flat. It took a little bit to get into, I felt like we were told a lot instead of the author telling us what was going on so when earth shattering development happened it didn't have the punch it should have had, and while most of the side characters were really great, I felt like they could have been developed a bit more. Overall, a mostly fun read I just wish it gave us more.
I can see this being adapted into a really great movie though.
