 HEIST SOCIETY is another tale of teen thievery by Ally Carter. While it is a fun and entertaining read, much like her Gallagher Girls series, I could not help but think that something was missing. Something that put it over the top, made it memorable. 
 Katarina Bishop comes from a family of master thieves. Tiring of that life, she steps away and pursues a normal life at a prestigious boarding school. Soon after, she is framed for a crime and kicked out. Her family needs her again, and going back to her life as a thief is the only way she can save her father. 
 HEIST SOCIETY is never boring. The plot keeps you engaged and there is a great balance between the action and other elements. On the other hand, so much going on made it a little difficult to keep up at times. At other times, readers were obviously supposed to be able to put two and two together but sometimes there were not enough clues to do so and that was frustrating. 
 As for the romance, I am not much of a fan when the main character and the boy best friend obviously like each other but it takes three novels for a real confession to take place. It's cliche and I just want to shove them together already! 
 Overall, the novel was a pretty quick read but one that leaves you wishing there was just a little something else to make it truly great. I will be reading the sequel.
