roseleebooks's review against another edition
4.5
There are plenty of heists and reveals throughout the book, but the question of trust and what is really valuable is central.
I won't reveal anything more but this story kept me reading to find out what happened next.
The only criticism I have is that there were a couple of times when plot points were not as well explained as I would have liked.
Overall a great read and I can't wait for the sequel.

High stakes balanced beautifully comedy. Heist, puzzles, competitions- It was so much fun! If you loved the inheritance games and the hunger games (book one) you'll eat this book up!
Twelves teens competing to be recognized as the best thief of a new generation and win the prize of one wish, a wish for anything!

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!!!!!

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!
