Heist Society by Ally Carter
Heist Society is an amazing trilogy following Kat Bishop and her family – who just happen to be thieves. As Kat tries to leave the family business she doesn’t quite believe in, she gets pulled back to the heist as her dad is held suspect of stealing a precious painting from one of the baddest bad guys out there. To solve this crime with the help of her family and friends, Kat must travel the world – and pull a few cons – to save her dad and figure out why she can’t seem to leave her family business.
Embassy Row by Ally Carter
This Embassy Row trilogy (yes, it’s by Ally Carter, again) will rip your heart out of your chest and throw it back at you as Grace Blakely tries to uncover what really happened on the night of her mother’s murder 3 years ago, all while balancing the politics of living on Embassy Row in Adria – where every move you make could lead to an all-out war. With the help of her Russian, German, and Israeli/Brazilian friends, Grace hunts down some very suspicious people – and on the way unearths an even more startling secret about her family and her past.
Not if I Save You First by Ally Carter
In this epic page-turner Not if I Save You First, you will encounter the treacherous lives of Maddie and Logan – two best friends torn apart. One – moved to Alaska with her dad. The other – the son of the president of the United States of America. After six years of no communication with each other, Logan shows up in Alaska. And Maddie wants to kill him. But when an assailant knocks Maddie down a cliff and whisks Logan away to who-knows-where, Maddie must track her ex-best friend through treacherous Alaska – except with the weather turning and the clock ticking, Maddie and Logan are both in more danger than they could imagine.
