Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter
5.0

Kat Bishop is at it again, stealing for the greater good instead of evil. After the great Heist at the Henley, Kat has been running solo, retrieving long ago stolen items and returning them to their rightful owners. When she returns home, she realizes how badly she’s hurt her friends by leaving them behind. As they take on the job to retrieve the Cleopatra Emerald from a famous company, and return it to the true finders of the Emerald, they run into a large complication on the way: they were conned. Now, trying to steal the Cleopatra Emerald for the second time, they struggle to find a solution. Over stepping the most complicated of obsticles, Kat Bishop and her friends attempt the Heist of the century. The question is: will they succeed?

Uncommon Criminals was an excellent sequel to Heist Society. It was filled with adventure, the introduction of new allies and new enemies, and was jammed packed with action. Throughout the book, Hale and Kat get closer, but when Nick steps back into the picture, the green monster makes its appearance as Hale and Nick duke it out (or glare at each other until one or the other combusts into flames). I loved this book! It was well written, and it leaves you wanting more!
