Rendition Concering Books Uncommon Criminals (Heist Society #2)
Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life. Friend. Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners. There are only three problems. First, the gem hasn’t been seen in public in thirty years. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long, and in Kat’s world, history almost always repeats itself. But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous and that is simply… the emerald is cursed. Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. After all she has her best friend—the gorgeous Hale—and the rest of her crew with her as they chase the Cleopatra around the globe, dodging curses, realizing that the same tricks and cons her family has used for centuries are useless this time. Which means, this time, Katarina Bishop is making up her own rules.List Books Conducive To Uncommon Criminals (Heist Society #2)

I know its going to be ahmazing! can't wait!! i am seriously getting upset though because i know i will have to wait so long for this book to come out, then i will read in like one day, then i will have to wait forever for the next!! lol oh wellI haven't read the book yet, obviously, but I know that this is going to be a good one. All of Ally Carter's YA books ave been a success and I'm sure this will be too. The only thing I will be disappointed with if she doesn't have is some kissing with Hale and Kat, I mean, it's soooooo obvious that they like each other...*EDIT* The cover is gorgeous!!!*EDIT* Reading the synopsis just makes me more excited, and I'm about to die of anticipation!!!
Ahhhh. Where do I begin?I remember reading Heist Society a loooong time ago, I remember listening to the audiobook of it quite a few times,I remember loving this series. I just didn't rememmber HOW MUCH.I loved this book! I was so surprised and pleased to discovered it is as good as the first one, plus more adventures,more truths, even more lies, and oh so many incredibly kick-butt action!The characters! Gosh the characters! I didn't recall them being this awesome! they were all SO CLEVER, SO
✭✭✭✬✩ ~ 3.75 StarsThis was really fun and enjoyable, but I'd say I didn't like it *quite* as much as I liked the first book. Just by a smidge.Kat and her crew are back in Uncommon Criminals, and this time their mission is to steal the Cleopatra Emerald from a man named Oliver Kelly, whose grandfather stole it from an Egyptian tomb. This is the biggest job Kat has ever had: nobody has ever successfully stolen the Cleopatra before. And if that wasn't enough, the Emerald is also supposedly cursed,
2.5 stars I wish I had more to say about this book. This is my third Ally Carter book (I've read Heist Society and I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You) and so far I've found all her books kind of meh. But with the promise of teen art thieves, heists, cons, action, espionage, cursed jewels, ancient Egypt and Hale, I couldn't resist trying again. But I almost wish I hadn't bother.This book was just dull. None of the characters developed in the slightest since we last met them,
actually i'd give it 4 stars but i just love these characters so damn much i gotta go with the 5 stars
Pre-reading: Hm, I think I like the Heist cover better, this one seems a little less intense. But it's still nice, love that the model kept her smirk :)After reading: I really loved this book. I liked the first Heist a lot, but I feel like Ally Carter has improved her writing so much since the last Heist. All the characters in Uncommon Criminals are really wonderful and extremely well fleshed out. I also think Ally Carter's third person prose has gotten a lot better.
