Heist Society Ally Carter

Summary:When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. 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. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected.

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. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.For Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. 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.

My Favorite Quote: "It is an occupational hazard that anyone who has spent her life learning how to lie eventually becomes bad at telling the truth."

Heist Society is a brilliant read! It was fun and fast paced and I loved every minute of it. Katarina(Kat) is a 15 year old retired thief or was until she was forced to get back in the family business in order to save her Dad. Her father has been set up, and accused of stealing paintings from a mobster type of guy that lead to some very dangerous consequences. With help from her crew including the amazingly yummy Hale she is going to steal the painting back and clear her father's name. But this is the biggest and most dangerous heist of Kat's life.

Ally Carter has written a well thought out plot. They were surprises around every corner and it certainly kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved that I could never predict what was going to happen next.There not many book that can do that. It was exciting and wonderfully addictive. 

 I'll be honest, what first drew me to this book was the cover. I was not expecting much out of this book. I was just expecting it to be one of those books you read before you find another good one. I was wrong. I have no clue how to describe how awesome this book was. Who would have thought I would feel sympathy for a thief? Not me, but Ally Carter made Katarina such a normal, relatable girl with quite a problem on her hands. I couldn't help but like her and her crazy family.
