Uncommon Criminals
By: Ally Carter
Release Date: June, 2011
Published by: Hyperion Books
Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life. Friend. Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners.
There are only three problems. First, the gem hasn’t been seen in public in thirty years. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long, and in Kat’s world, history almost always repeats itself. But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous and that is simply… the emerald is cursed.
Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. After all she has her best friend—the gorgeous Hale—and the rest of her crew with her as they chase the Cleopatra around the globe, dodging curses, realizing that the same tricks and cons her family has used for centuries are useless this time.
Which means, this time, Katarina Bishop is making up her own rules.

I love Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls novels so of course I had to read Heist Society. I listened to the audiobook and absolutely adored it! I must admit... I've got a bit of a thing for Hale! I'm excited to see what Ally has in store for Kat and her crew.
I loved Heist Society. I'm so excited for Uncommon Criminals! Hale is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHeist Society was cute! Ally is coming back to TX this year! She is so stinkin' nice if you every have the chance to met her.
ReplyDeleteSomeday, I will get you to move here. Lol!

I still have Heist Society on my tbr pile, I've heard it's a great read so I'm hoping to read it before the sequel comes out. =)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great adventure! I'll have to check out Ally's books. Thanks for the post!

I looooved Heist Society and I've already pre-ordered my copy of Uncommon Criminals. I will admit to having a little thing for Hale too.

I have to admit that I'm more of a fan of the Gallagher Girls than of Kat and her crew, but the first book was nice enough, so I'll check this one out too.
ReplyDeleteI do love the theme of the covers.
