Description:

Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life: Friend. Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners. There are only three problems. First, the gem hasn’t been seen in public in thirty years. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long — and in Kat’s world, history almost always repeats itself. But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous, and that is . . . the emerald is cursed. Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. After all, she has her best friend — the gorgeous Hale — and the rest of her crew with her as they chase the Cleopatra around the globe, dodging curses and realizing that the same tricks and cons her family has used for centuries are useless this time. Which means, this time, Katarina Bishop is making up her own rules.

Review:
First, this book was a great sequel to the first book, Heist Society. When I read this book it kept me reading. I couldn't help but, be impressed with the cons and schemes that Ally Carter came up with. I felt that the characters and the book were both realistic. I could actually see this happening in real life.
The romance and humor evened out the seriousness in the book. I loved how when there seemed to be a hole in the plot it was always cleared  up in the next sentence. I admired the strength and courage the characters had in the book. This book really teaches a lesson to kids. I would recommend this to all young adults who are interested in reading books that have romance, theft, action, and suspense.
