Heist Society

A Heist Society Novel, Book 1

De: Ally Carter

Narrado por: Angela Dawe

Since she can remember, Katarina's relatives have been grooming her for the family business - thieving. But when Kat tries to go straight and leave the "Life" for a normal life, she's promptly kicked out of her new school for stealing the headmaster's car and mounting it on the school fountain. Although she could have done it without breaking a sweat, ironically, this time, she's innocent.

In fact, she was framed - by another highly skilled thief. Her friend and brother-in-trade Hale, with his mischievous smile and limitless bank account, has appeared out of nowhere to bring her back to the Life, back to the family Kat tried so hard to escape.

Hale has a good reason: A powerful mobster has just been robbed of his priceless art collection, and he wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have cracked this vault, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he IS the list.

Now, caught between Interpol and a far more deadly predator, Kat's dad needs her help. For Kat, a consummate thief in her own right, the solution is simple: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and maybe just enough misguided pride to pull off the biggest heist in history - or at least in her family's (very crooked) history.

fun listen

if you want a fun, non scary listen with a good conversation and plot twist this is for you!

I enjoyed listening to Heist Society.

Heist Society is different from most stories. Most kids don't grow up in a family of thieves and try to have a real life. While some of it was a bit unbelievable, it is a good story.

Great book

Interesting and fun. Recommend it to anyone that enjoys stories about young adults and mysteries

Need headphones to listen clearly. Very quiet sounding.

The story was interesting, at least what I could hear. I didn’t always have headphones accessible to turn up the volume. It didn’t seem like the narrator read quietly it’s almost like the sound was just turned down.

Good book

I like these books they give me comfort. Kat and Hale are my favorite comfort book

Fun listen

I liked the unique take and premise. It was interesting, kept my attention, and the book was clean. Good read!

Fun book for students

Where does Heist Society rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The audio was great. The characters were fun to follow throughout the story. I got this book for my jr. high daughter. She really liked the action of the book. A great introduction to heist storylines for her.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hale because throwing in a billionaire kid always makes for exciting growth.

Which scene was your favorite?

The opening scene imagining the Porche on top of a water fountain!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Heist Society, never underestimate a school girl

Any additional comments?

Lots of great classroom lesson plans with this book. It should be on more teachers reading lists

i'm not book friendly

but as a 22 year old male, this book is incredibly fascinating and was easy to follow in segmental binge-listens.

HEIST SOCIETY IS AMAZING!

** NO SPOILERS ABOUT THIS BOOK IN THIS REVIEW :)**
About this book: Katerina Bishop, referred to as Kat, has grown up in a family of thieves, but she has conned her way into a normal bording school to steal a normal life. After she gets framed and kicked out of her bording school, Kat is driven away by W.W Hale the 5th to hear a message. Kat learns her dad is in trouble, an evil man believes Kat's father stole his paintings. Kat has to form a team of colorful characters to steal the paintings back, and they are in for a lot of surprises.

My review: I think this book is awesome! Kat and her team have to crack codes, sneak into one of the most secure museums in Britain. This book is the perfect combination of suspense, thieving, cracking codes, and friendship!

NARRATION QUALITY: The person who narrated this was pretty good, I really like it. Sometimes the narration is a little quiet. But that's ik.for.me.

BLUSH FACTOR: Not much,which I like.

WRITING: Amazing!

RECCOMENDATION: Anyone can read/listen to this book, but I recommend this to kids, teens, and older. (8+).

Thanks for reading my review!

The Good Bad Guys

This series is so much fun. Great for any age reader/listener. If only we all had a rich boy best friend to fly us all over the world on a whim.
