I love love love Margaret Owen’s writing style and I cannot wait to see what she does next.
Little Thieves has it all, adventure, lesbians, slow burn, knife to the throat, enemies to lovers, single bed trope, you name it and it’s in there, and it’s expertly crafted and deliciously dark.
It’s my first 5⭐️ read of 2022, and I am not disappointed, it kept me thoroughly entertained and I probably would have consumed it in a single day if I didn’t keep leaving it at work to read there.
Minor spoiler about the lesbians:
y’all the lesbians get to be happy. They’re not sad and they don’t die!
