YA
Heist Society series.
Katarina, fifteen, and her con artist crew are tasked with stealing the Cleopatra Emerald--a well-secured and supposedly cursed gem--and returning it to its rightful owner...or so they think. When the team members discover they've been conned, they race to steal the emerald back before it's lost forever. Carter's chatty, humorous voice and cinematic prose bolster this jewel-thief thriller.

YA
Heist Society series.
Fifteen-year-old Katarina swore that scamming her way into the prestigious Colgan School would be her last con. But when her father is framed for stealing a powerful criminal's paintings, Kat heads up a crew to find the art and get it back. Despite some unclear storytelling and flat characters, the book will be embraced by Carter's fans for its fast-paced world of high-stakes heists.
