I loved this book more then the first. I loved story and also the dynamics between the character. It was also such a different type of story then book one. I am growing to love Kat character. Her crew is just the best group of people. I can not express my love for simon. I loved nick role in this book it was a nice surprise. It was such a fast pace novel and i really must read the next one soon. ( )

This is the second book in this series, Kat is still trying to stay away from stealing unless it is for good. She and her crew get themselves into a mess when they steal an emerald and give it to another thief. They must get it back and redeem their mistake. Some people from their past come back...

I really enjoy this mystery series. It is entertaining and funny. I find myself trying to figure out all of the schemes that Kat and her team do. They have such funny names, 'Jack and Jill', 'Cinderella', and 'the Mary Poppins'. I would love to know what they do in all of these. Some of the ways they solve cases is really cool.

I just want Hale and Kat to be together already!!! Hoping that will happen in the next book. ( )

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 simply… 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, 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.

I loved it. I thought it was better than the 1st book, but that might be because I got to know the characters better. The author sets up another sequel, so I'll be looking forward to that. ( )
