The Heist Society series by Ally Carter is an action packed series. At first I didn’t want to read this series, but I got it as a gift so read the first book. I am so glad that I had gotten them because they are mind-blowing books.
The first book is called Heist Society. The main character’s name is Katrina Bishop or Kat as her friends call her. I guess that you could say that Kat’s family has a shady history. Yours would be too if you belonged to a family of thieves. At first she tries to leave her old life behind and start a new life at the Colgan School. She does a fairly good job of leaving her old life behind, but when family needs help will she accept the job. A private collection has been stolen, by someone who uses the name Visily Romani. That isn’t his real name but actually a Chelovek Pseudonima. This means scared names. Kat’s dad was one of the only people who could have pulled off this job. The owner of the private collection even has a list of people that could have done it. That list has only one name and that is Bobby Bishop, Kat’s dad. To clear her dads name Kat has to leave her boarding school life, which is easy since W.W. Hale the Fifth (Hale) has gotten her expelled. The owner of the private collection is Arturo Taccone who isn’t a bad person like Kat and her family, but an entirely different type of bad. He is even threatening to kill Kat’s dad if he doesn’t return the paintings. Taccone isn’t what you would call a normal bad guy. Kat and her family are normal bad guys, but Taccone wants his paintings back, so bad that he is having Kat do it for him. One thing that had crossed my mind was “Why doesn’t Taccone just go to the police for his paintings?” If he can’t does that mean that they aren’t his in the first place? He gives Kat two weeks to get the paintings back. Will her teenage crew be able to get them back in time?
The second book is called Uncommon Criminals. Again Kat and her teenage crew come together to get the Cleopatra Emerald back to its rightful owner; which is who exactly. At first the team got the Cleopatra Emerald back to who they thought was the right person. But people aren’t always who they seem to be. Realizing what they had done it is their job to get the Emerald back to the Auction House. Since that person had tricked them into giving her are Kat and her crew able to pull it off from one of the best thieves in the world? She had even tricked Kat’s Uncle Eddie and Uncle Charlie into hating one another. Will the brother’s fight stand in the way of Kat needing to have them both in the plan? Or will the plan fail completely? After all, the Cleopatra Emerald is cursed.
If you want to read great books then I would recommend reading this series. You may learn something about art in Heist Society.
