Ally Carter keeps pumping out the titles in this series and my patrons love them. This is book 2.5 in the Heist series. As a short story it can be a nice bridge into the series for those not already obsessed (and it would not be too confusing to do so). Foe established fans this is a welcome addition.

Ally Carter is a go-to YA author. And I love that it is a combination novella of the two worlds. Macey and Hale were pretty much perfect. I loved their camaraderie, having their worlds be along the same lines. I would recommend reading the other books in the different series to appreciate previous backstories. But I enjoyed this novella a lot!

I'm sorry for not being able to read this book, but I appreciate the opportunity to provide a review. I want to thank Netgalley and the publisher.

Double Crossed has been on my TBR for a long time and I finally decided to do something about it. It's a novella that combines two different series.

Unfortunately for me, I haven't read the two series, so the characters and their backstories were not familiar to me. I felt a little lost at the beginning, but it didn't take long for me to pick things up and follow along. The story takes place one evening. A thief and the agent-in-training combine forces when they are held hostage at a high-end event. They can tell that something is not right and it is up to them to get to the bottom of it and save the evening for all of the participants.

I think that this would be a fun series for teens. I would suggest reading the series.

I liked this fun novella which was a mesh-up of the worlds of Heist Society and the Gallagher Girls. I enjoyed it and I think you would too, even if you haven't read the books in either series.

Another Ally Carter masterpiece! I love this spy series so much and this novella was the perfect edition to the series.

I have loved every book of the Gallagher Girls and Heist Society. A book where they come together? A must read. I was not disappointed. Macy and Hale combine forces to outwit the bad guys during a hostage situation. This novella was a quick read and just as fun and exciting as all of Ally Carter's book are.

There are a lot of great books with very original concepts, and this is certainly one of them. Not only does Carter merge two series into one awesome crossover, she does it in a way that means the reader isn't lost if they didn't read either or both of those series. It was fun and filled with twists, and it was not too predictable.

I love anything that Ally Carter puts out. This crossover between two of her sseries was everything a girl could ever hope for. I would love even more books with these worlds coming together.

I loved jumping back into the Heist Society/Gallagher Girls world with this novella! It was short but full of action and romance and this is exactly what we all begged for.

I LOVE Ally Carter. This was so much fun. It was short, cute and I loved seeing characters from different series brought in together, but since they were from the same world, they were able to form an easy camaraderie, and it was so well executed.

A short and sweet crossover, even though it didn’t necessarily add anything to the series. I look forward to checking more books by this author in the future.

This novella was short and sweet. Just long enough to get a feel for the characters, but not too long as to make it a short story.
I feel I was a little too old to truly appreciate this novella, that being said, I enjoyed the writing style, the glitz and glam of the world presented and the guts of the protagonist!

Just like all other books by this amazing author, I loved this one just as much as the others I've read. Her writing style is fantastic and had me sucked into the story right away.

Ally Carter never disappoints--she is an excellent writer for a reason, and her stories always capture my interest.

This one was no different, though I did feel it fell into a pretty typical rhythm and it did not surprise me in anyway, which was a little bit of a letdown.

overall, though, I will definitely continue to look out for this author's books, as she's a staple for teens who enjoy spy and thriller books featuring a strong female lead.

Great read, especially for those who love the Gallagher Girls and Heist Society novels.
On the flip side, it would be a great introducion to both of these series, because afterreading his novell you would want to follwo aon and read both series.

I couldn't finish this one. It started out slow and didn't improve for me. I didn't like the author's writing style so it made it hard for me to get into the characters and the plot.

Double Crossed is a cute little crossover (I see what you did there) between Gallagher Girls and Heist Society. Plot-wise, this novella doesn’t do much relevant to either series as a whole, except to set up potential future crossovers. Totally worth reading though to watch Hale and Macey flirt but not with each other, and also to see Hale being totally adorable about how in love he is with Kat.

I received a free copy from NetGalley. Very short, so super quick to read. It reminded me of a BookShot. I've come to discover it ties together characters from the author's two series. I was interested enough in the characters to want to read others in the series, to see what a full length story is like. A good way to see if you might like the other books by this author without having to spend too much time on the discovery.
