This was SO GOOD!!

I love when a book hints at someone being bad but also makes you completely question everything all throughout. I wish I could say I expected half of the plot twists in here, but I'd be lying. 

I love Ross as a character. She's strong and brilliant and so badass. This book literally makes me want to learn lock picking and thievery stuff. 

I NEED BOOK 2!!!!!

This has apparently already been optioned for a movie, and I can defintely see why. It's fast paced, with lots of twists and turns and action tha tmakes you want to keep reading once you started. It's compared to The Inheritance Games, and it's a great comp title for that.They both have similar vibes, with that mystery/thriller feeler that makes them hard to put down.

For avid readers, the twists are a little easy to guess, but I didn't mind because the writing itself was pretty well done. I liked the characters, and the romance helps to add to the intrigue and the mystery. It's a high stakes thriller heist novel, with a cast of characters that are well developed and fun to read about.

The ending is left open for likely what's going to be a second book, so I'm excited to see what Ross does next!

solid book with a solid plot and amazing characters. a perfect first book that sets up everything for the sequel. finished it in a night. the plot twists were the kind where you kinda guess where it's going, but they still surprise you a bit. can't wait for the next book.
