Kat, Katarina, Bishop is walking a fine line. Previously she tried to step away from her life as a thief but after being pulled back into it and that job finally being done, she doesn't know where to go. She's still running, or everyone is telling her. She does jobs but they are return jobs--stealing a KGB painting and giving it back to their rightful owners and the like.
But what has been driving her friends up the walls is that Kat does all of these heists alone. She takes risks and is always by herself.
When mention of the famed Cleopatra Emerald needs to go back to its rightful owner, she jumps at the idea and actually manages to steal it. It would be a short book if that was it. But there is more to this "rightful owner" than Kat origionally thought.
I did put this down for a while (because I accidently left it at my parents house) so the progression seemed slow. She is constantly running around the same thoughts in her head. That she didn't want anyone hurt, that she has to do it alone, that.... blah, blah, blah. That kind of angst stayed throughout most of the book. I that got a little too much for my liking. But by the end Kat learns things by seeing herself in the con-artist they are trying to find.
I really like Maggie. A very deep character that could have a lot of promise. I also like the fact that Nick was there too. I'm team-Hale, but Nick is pretty cool too.
While the main focus of the book was Kat and her internal progression, I wish there had been more of the other characters and their story arcs. They have a lot of potential, but they seem fairly stagnant.
Overall, it was good. I wish there had been more development for the others, but setting was good as was the plot--of course. I am excited for the next one.
