It seems like a great best friend turned boyfriend story (or the potential for it) and I can’t wait to see how that develops! I definitely look forward to more heists and more shenanigans as the series continues. They’ve known each other a very long time and now that they’re teenagers it’s like the romantic inklings are just starting to bubble to the surface. I loved the character interaction and the semi-unsure relationship between Kat and Hale. Gabrielle I guess is more of the Tess in the story except she’s actually involved in the heist as the beauty and some brains. I guess all heist teams have the same general players in one way or another… Let’s say Kat’s the Danny Ocean, Hale is Rusty, Simon’s our Livingston, and the Bagshaw brothers are the Malloy twins. All thieves need to be a little bit cocky or else they wouldn’t have the confidence to do their jobs! I love a little bit of espionage and for some reason any story with thieves always has a lot of snark and some cocky sarcasm, which I happen to adore. Total thumbs up for HEIST SOCIETY! I think the best way to put it is a teenage Ocean’s 11 (which is still one of my favorite movies). So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family's history-and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.įor Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring Kat back into the world she tried so hard to escape. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own-scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it.
