16yo Kat has always been close to her mother, Jamie, a skilled jewel thief who is determined to leave her past behind. But Jamie has a plan for one last heist; stealing a beautiful, expensive necklace at the Sutherland's extravagant birthday bash. Kat insists on joining her mother, eager for adventure but unprepared for what lies ahead. To Kat's surprise, the party also brings a reunion with Liam, her former step-brother from Jamie's short marriage to Luke. Luke is a known con artist who has his own plan to target the billionaire family. When a shocking murder disrupts the festivities, Kat and Liam find themselves entangled in a dangerous mystery. Forced to rely on each other to survive, the two must navigate a world of deception and danger, questioning everyone's motives, including their own. They have both grown up in a world full of lies and trust is something they are not used to. Who will they decide to trust and who will deceive them?
This was such a fun book to read, I found it hard to put it down. The book's pacing and suspenseful storytelling kept my interest while trying to solve the mystery and getting stumped at every turn. I enjoyed the dynamics between Liam and Kat while mixing in Augustus for a slightly romantic twist. There was just enough adventure and family drama throughout the book that it never seemed to drag. I think students and adults would really enjoy this book and leave pleasantly surprised they were not able to predict the ending.
The characters in this book are all white.
