Ally Carter is an amazing writer. She captures the emotion and teenage drama and twist into a fantasy world where teenagers do amazing and illegal things without being caught. In this Ally really experience the relationship and differences between Kat and Hale. How they are nothing alike, but how their friendship and new found love has always been strong. We got a look into Hale’s life and his family of how they are not so perfect, and more of a gang than love. They turn on each other faster than they would strangers. Kat’s family played a bigger role in this book as well, with her entire family coming together showing their love and support of Kat though out the big heists. There is a fourth book coming which I am very excited to read and find out more about Kat and her family, and what heists will her group be able to pull of next.
