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, Rosalyn 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 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.
Mim's Review - If you enjoy a good mystery thrown in with some high stakes espionage and a good dose of betrayal, then this is the read for you. Plenty of action, excitment and kept on you toes as you try to work out who is on Rosalyn's team and who is using her for their own gain.
Product Information
My new favourite novel has to be Kayvion Lewis' The Thieves Gambit. I found it to be a pleasant, quick read that I couldn't put down! It has just the right amount of romance, surprises, and backstabbing to keep you interested all the way to the finish. Ross, a thief aged 17, comes from a well-known family in the industry. Ross makes the decision to do everything it takes to get her mother back after she is abducted. Enter the Gambit competition, where the winner will receive one wish as the grand prize. Ross discovers throughout the competition that not everything is as it seems and that sometimes it is a necessity to rely on those around you. The novel started out a little slowly, and I wasn't sure whether I would like it enough to keep reading, but after I got to know all the characters, I was unable to put it down. Reading about the characters' unique traits and strengths was my favourite part. I don't think I can choose a favourite character because they all contributed so much to the story. The book ends on one of the BIGGEST PLOT TWISTS I have ever read, and I cannot wait for the next book! Would definitely recommend! Amelia 15yrs
