Thieves' Gambit

By: Kayvion Lewis

Narrated by: Jade Wheeler

The Inheritance Games meets Ocean’s Eleven in this cinematic heist thriller where a cutthroat competition brings together the world’s best thieves and one thief is playing for the highest stakes of all: her mother's life.

At only seventeen years old, Ross Quest is already a master thief, especially adept at escape plans. Until her plan to run away from her legendary family of thieves takes an unexpected turn, leaving her mother’s life hanging in the balance.

In a desperate bid, she enters the Thieves’ Gambit, a series of dangerous, international heists where killing the competition isn’t exactly off limits, but the grand prize is a wish for anything in the world—a wish that could save her mom. When she learns two of her competitors include her childhood nemesis and a handsome, smooth-talking guy who might also want to steal her heart, winning the Gambit becomes trickier than she imagined.

Ross tries her best to stick to the family creed: trust no one whose last name isn’t Quest. But with the stakes this high, Ross will have to decide who to con and who to trust before time runs out. After all, only one of them can win.

Fun but Predictable

This story was fast-paced and fun. However many of the “twists” you could see from a mile away.

An amazing read

Thieves gambit is a exiting adventure with lots of twists and turns. I really recommend it.

What the he**…

**spoiler comments**

Okay, so I enjoyed all the twists and turns in this book/game, but the ending, really!! I finished the book and felt totally empty, betrayal at the highest level. I would have hated to do it but, even though she was my mother, I’d have told her “you’re dead to me”. How could you ever trusted her again. What a cruel mother, back then and now. But to have that part of the story omitted and never to develop is a very big bummer. So read at your own discretion!
