These people are willing to put everything on the line to protect Kat’s father. I absolutely love the strength of their relationships, and the lengths they will go to for one another. Each of them has a special talent, and when put together, they form this amazing band of criminals.

Kat’s friends and family, Hale, Simon, Hamich, Angus, and Gabrielle are all amazing and fill the spots in Kat’s heist society. She also has this constant battle going on in her head between her conscience and her mission. She understands her limits, but has no trouble pushing those limits as far as possible. She is confident, but not to the point of cockiness. She tried so hard to leave the family business, but re-entered the crime world because of her family. I don’t come across many YA mysteries or adventure stories that sound good very often, but after reading Heist Society‘s synopsis and so many wonderful reviews, I pretty much knew I would enjoy this one! As always, my main points are bolded. 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.
