Rating: 2.5/5 
 ***Minor spoilers*** 
 Since the Henley heist, Kat Bishop has been making recovery missions around the world, returning stolen art to their rightful owners by stealing them herself. While doing this, she hasn't really communicated with the rest of her family or Hale and they've been feeling left out and they're worried for her. One day a woman contacts Kat and says she was contacted by Vicily Romani to have Kat recover the Cleopatra emerald, and that the woman's parents were the ones who rightfully found it. Not being able to resist the name "Romani," she of course, accepts. 
 Bad news, I didn't think this book was all that amazing. Good news, I enjoyed it better than Heist Society. On top of not having to deal with a messed up mobi file, I found the story more interesting now that we didn't have to make introductions to everyone. Unfortunately I had a lot of the same issues I recall having with the first book. 
 I just found it quite boring in general. It wasn't that the story was BAD, it was just that the writing didn't grip me and the story wasn't suspenseful or surprising enough to keep me interested. The writing style is different and seems directed at a middle-grade audience, but I didn't consider that to take away from the book itself. I wanted the story to make me excited and want to keep flipping pages, but instead I fell asleep... literally. 
 As with the last book, I felt a bit disconnected with the characters. I was able to feel for Kat and I liked Gabrielle, but I didn't really like Hale in this one, and it's a bit hard to fully enjoy a book when you don't like the love interest. Hale was acting like the jealous boyfriend in this book when he didn't even act like he was interested when she made a move. It was quite stupid, really. You could tell that he wants to be with Kat but as soon as she gets over her fear of him rejecting her, he rejects her. Brutal. 
 Overall, I thought it was better than the last one but I had similar problems with both books. It's pretty lighthearted and amusing at times, so if you're looking for a series like that, this may interest you. But beware that if you're more interested in a gripping story than amusement, you probably won't like this as much.
