Thieves' Gambit by Kayvion Lewis
4.0

What a fun, thrilling ride! I absolutely adored Ross Quest, our daring heroine. I loved that this book's protagonist is a strong, young black female who is tough to please and hesitant to trust anyone except her family. The "games" that she has to endure during the Gambit are engaging, sometimes adrenaline-pounding, and have a host of tricks up their sleeves. I was rooting for Ross and her teammates while worried about potential double-crossers. The twists at the end of this book were so good, and I cannot wait for the next one. This would have been a five star read for me, but the ending was so abrupt that I feel like I'm still reeling. Now to wait for November for the second one!
