Review: Uncommon Criminals - Book #2 Heist Society - Ally Carter - June 2011
So Ally Carter famous for her Gallagher Girl series has jumped to the other side of trouble from Spies to Mastermind Thiefs or as Kat Bishop , the main character of the Heist Society series likes to point out she is not a thief, merely a bringer back of stolen goods.
At the end of Heist Society, we read as Kat was deciding whether or not to return to boarding school and escape her criminal family once and for all , or fall back into her old habits as her first heist was when she was three years old.
In Uncommon Criminals, we learn she took the family route and has been flying solo on a few missions and it seems that she has caught the heist bug. Especially when she is approached to steal Cleopatra's Emerald, an emerald that is said to be cursed and everyone who has ever tried to steal it has ended up with bad luck.
Can Kat with the help of her cousin Gabby and best friend Hale pull off the Heist ? Or will they need to bring in the best as we meet Kat and Gabby's Uncle Charlie.
What will happen though when Kat discovers that she has been conned and that her stealing of the Cleopatra's Emerald is in fact part of a game that has been forty years in the making and that the Queen has just been searching for a pawn great enough to do the job for her without getting caught.
Can Kat with the help of friends and family rectify the mistake before it's too late or will the Emerald be gone forever ?
Find out in Book #2 of The Heist Society Series and stay tuned for Books #2.5 and #3.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
