A young adult Ocean's Eleven/Six of Crows but with vampires. I really liked this one. The banter was good, the backstories interesting, and the gathering of the crew was well done. I liked the interconnectedness to her previous series (Sands of Arawiya) with the introduction of a character from that country, and some gossip and political updates from the region. The author has a really great way of hiding her twists, and while I did get an inkling towards the end of the book, other readers may suspect earlier or later.
