I am a heist enthusiast when it comes to the media. Give me books, movies, or TV shows—I'm happy camper watching them unfold and seeing if I can figure it out. THIEVES' GAMBIT is described as a mix of THE INHERITANCE GAMES and Ocean's Eleven, which is a pretty fun description. I was constantly on my toes, wondering what would happen next or if someone would be betrayed. I also loved that it had multiple tropes, including an excellent enemies-to-lovers between the FMC and another character! I guessed some things right and others very wrong, but the ending ultimately surprised me, and I am still thinking about it! I can't wait for book two!

Thanks, Penguin Teen, for the gifted book!
