I don't know how anyone thought this was a fast-paced book. It takes half of the book before anything really happens and there are too many conversations that go nowhere and too many trips to other countries to have boring conversations with other people. I didn't like this book at all.
This was a great book :) If you liked the Ocean's Eleven movie(s) at all, you'll like this book, I promise! Instead of George Clooney, it's a teenage girl, of course, which just makes it more fun. I highly recommend this to YA lovers. Safe for young teens, no bad language or sex or violence. (Even the robbery is above reproach, they're stealing something back.)

If you're into spy v spy or a little bit of a thriller/who done it then this book is alright. It's not fast paced, it's not a oh please hurry it up book, it's just alright. The story was kinda predictable and you can tell this book was more for the younger Y.A. crowd. Still a good read.
Kat is pulling the biggest con of her life. Living like a regular girl, attending the Colgan boarding school. But when Hale, her friend and fellow theif, shows up and pulls her back into the "family business", Kat learns that maybe she's been away longer than she should have.
Her father is in trouble, accused by an evil man of stealing some high-security art. Kat now has to pull the most unusual job of her life. Stealing the paintings from the theif, to return them to the owner, and her families life is on the line. But can Kat pull this job off when she's so out of practice?
This is a fast-paced, super-cute, entertaining book. I really enjoyed this one! A great YA read that is original, and a great read for teens and adults alike!

I adore THE GALLAGHER GIRLS series, but this new series may be even better. HEIST SOCIETY is my new favorite book. The combination of finding the art, the major heist, saving a relative, and going against the family makes for a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat read.
