Rating: 4 stars Yay! My firs read in 2013! :D Even though I still like the Gallagher Girls series better than Heist Society, I think the latter series has great potential to reach GG's level on my list. What can I say? Ally Carter has a way of making readers love her stories and her characters. I know I'm really starting to like the Heist series, and I definitely enjoyed reading Uncommon Criminals.
Ally Carter, as usual, was able to put in a bit of action, a pinch of humor, a subtle yet very satisfying romance, friendship and family drama into one hellava-book about theives!! *clap clap* I don't know how she does it.. Maybe she's a really a Gallagher Girl, or she's secretly stealing paintings from Henley. Whatever! Hahahaha.. But seriously, her books are awesome!! :D
So... Uncommon Criminals. Here, Kat struggles with a lot of things - her own issues, her family, the heist-gone-wrong, and HALE! Kat and Hale's relationship is really interesting, even though there aren't sooo much sweet talks and smooching. It was subtle, but very satisfying. Aside from that, one of the great things I love about Ally's books is there is always something about families.
*Sorry, the entire blurb got deleted because my phone shut off while I was typing. So I have to start again. I'm a bit pissed off with my phone right now. I'll try to add more later.
