Ever since I read Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, I've been searching for a book that blew my mind in the same way it did. An unbelievable heist, secrets, twists, found family...everything combining to create one of my favorite books of all time.
Enter Tempest of Tea. This is the first heist novel I've read that I think can compare to Six of Crows. It was SO GOOD. And this is coming from me, who hated vampires. Yes, this book has vampires. Yes, I almost stopped reading because of it. Vampires just aren't my thing. But I'm glad I stuck this one out because regardless of of the vampires (haha), it wasind blowingly incredible. The characters were amazing, the world was so interesting, and the heist. THE HEIST! I wish there was an endless supply of heist novels in the league of this one and Six of Crows. I would simply never stop reading them.
All this to say, if you hate vampires as much as I do, give this one a go anyway. I found it to be more than worth it.
