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.
“Variety is the spice of life”
“And from a thousand miles apart”
“Absence makes the heart grow fonder”
“The only way I’ll get under a blanket with you is if both of us are on fire,” she told him.”
I'm going to say this and hope you won't smack me through the computer: I have yet to read a book by Ally Carter. I KNOW. It's one of those things even I don't understand. But after reading about this book here, I think I'll pick it up. (Well, the first Heist Society first.) 🙂
