Waiting On Wednesday (1/13)

Waiting on Wednesday was created by Jill at Breaking the Spine

Title: Heist Society
Author: Ally Carter
Release Date: Ferbruary 9

When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre...to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria...to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own--scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving "the life" for a normal life proves harder than she'd expected.

Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring her back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat's dad needs her help.

For Kat there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in history-or at least her family's (very crooked) history.


This one seems pretty interesting, I've read two of Ally Carter's previous books; I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Had To Kill You and Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy, and really enjoyed them - so I'd love to read this one too! I'm not a big fan of the cover though. . .
