My previous experience with these particular author duo was a bit of a let down so I was very happy to see that this book was far better than my last experience with their work. I loved the heist element along with the unraveling of our main characters intentions. It was very suspenseful and made for a compelling read. The romance element was probably my least favorite aspect of the entire book. I did quite enjoy the various plot twists and the big reveal/double cross at the end which only added to the suspense.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this advanced copy. I think I’m finally accepting that ya mysteries just aren’t my cup of tea anymore. This one was a twisty heist story. I just didn’t feel connected to the characters or story but I think it was a me think and not the fault of the book.

Heiress Takes All reminder me of Inheritance Games and it was great. Entertaining and a good read for a YA mystery.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for early access to Heiress Takes All in exchange for my honest opinion. After not loving the two previous YA and adult romance novels by this author pair, I procrastinated reading this book. I ended up mostly listening to the audio which I took out from my local library after publication.
Set in Rhode Island, Heiress Takes All is a bit of a far-fetched caper story, where a young woman plots to steal her inheritance from her father on his wedding day to her new (and much younger) stepmother, in order to help her mother pay their bills now that they are on their own. She has a whole host of helpers (think a ragtag bunch a la Ocean's 11), and they are met with issue after issue.
I thought the book was cute, however, and I did recommend it to one of my students recently. I don't know if all adults would enjoy it and/or follow my lead of recommending it to teenagers, but I found it a fun (If unbelievable) plot and execution. Heiress Takes All is now available everywhere.

So sorry - Review was posted at publication time:

This book had everything I look for in a story -- especially what sold me was the heist set up. It was, admittedly, tough to get into, but for anyone looking for a good ride, I'd definitely give it a try. Unfortunately, most anything after that is a spoiler, but this is a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

3.5 rounded down to 3 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC!

I love heist novels, so when I saw this on NetGalley, I immediately requested it, and was so happy when I got it! I’ve heard so much about these authors but had never read anything by them before.

This was an entertaining novel, and I am definitely glad I read it. The plot was good, but I did not like the plot twist at all and that is why my rating is so low. Otherwise, it was a great book and I would definitely recommend it!

This was a really solid read! I requested it for the promise of Ocean’s 11 meets Inheritance Games and I really do think the author delivered. This was a well crafted book for its target YA audience and while it didn’t have a lot of complexity to it, it was a fantastic starter thriller for people new to the genre or just looking for a fun adventure. I really enjoyed it. :)

I know Emily and Austin are mist well known for their YA romances, but this was actually the first book I read by the pair. I ended up with a smile on my face because of how things all came together in the end. It's totally worth reading just for that part. If you enjoy the adventure parts of the Inheritance Game series, you will want to give this one a try.

I wanted to like it I really did I just can't read another book that reminds me of The Inheritance Games with rich young kids pulling off some crazy heist/game/puzzle/mystery etc.

This writing duo used to be a hit for me but I think I've just outgrown them and nothing wrong with that!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC.

I will read anything Emily and Austin write. This one was fun and fast-paced. Overall, a good read.

Seventeen-year-old Olivia Owens isn't thrilled that her dad's getting remarried...again. She's especially not thrilled that he cheated on her mom, kicked them out of their Rhode Island home, and cut Olivia out of her rightful inheritance.

But this former heiress has a plan for revenge. While hundreds of guests gather on the grounds of the gorgeous estate where she grew up, everyone will be thinking romance—not robbery. She’ll play the part of dutiful daughter, but in reality she’ll be stealing millions from her father’s online accounts. She only needs the handwritten passwords he keeps in the estate's safe.

With the help of an eclectic crew of high school students and one former teacher, Olivia has plotted her mid-nuptial heist down to the second. But she didn't plan for an obnoxiously nosy wedding guest, an interfering ex-boyfriend intent on winning her back, greedy European cousins with their own agenda, or a vengeful second wife. When everything seems like it's going wrong, Olivia has to keep her eyes on what really matters: getting rich.

I thought the concept of this story was wonderful - I loved the idea of a high school aged version of Ocean's 11. And I thought that the book came together well too, but it was just a little long-winded for me. The writing was very flowery and felt like it was too repetitive, sharing the same details and feelings of the characters again and again throughout the book. I wished it could have been edited down a little more so the plot progressed a little faster, and perhaps just one or two of the "oh no, calamity strikes" moments could have been taken out. But aside from that, it was a good story. I liked the characters, and the dialogue was great - made me laugh out loud at times, which was fun. It's nice to see that the book left off in a way that you can hope for a sequel to come as well.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this Advanced Reader Copy. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers!
What a witty, smart, fun heist story! With characters you find yourself rooting for, no matter what criminal mischief they get up to.
Would love a sequel!

Somehow this was my first Wibbroka novel, but it won't be my last! Heiress Takes All is a twisty take on a heist story set amid a glitzy wedding weekend. I loved the ragtag crew and the romance sprinkled in, too.

Thank you to the publisher and the NetGalley for the ARC!

Here’s the thing: because so many people have told me that I would like these authors I have started buying their books when I see them at used bookstores or at the library book sales. This however was the first book by them that I actually read.

I’m so happy to say that everyone was right. I loved this book! It had me on the edge of my seat and I loved that it took place over a couple hours. I will definitely be getting started on those other books now.

So much fun!!! Definitely kept me hooked… some holes in logic, but who cares? Fun, fun, fun! Next book was pretty much set up at the end of this one… it will be interesting to see how she has a bunch of American teenagers performing illegal maneuvers in Switzerland convincingly, but I’m all for it if she can pull it off! 😁

I am a bit disappointed in this book. I truly thought that I was getting Ocean's 11 vibes, and it wasn't. It fell flat for me. I found it a bit too predictable that I found myself a tad bored reading it. Unfortunately, it was just a meh book.

“Heiress Takes All” is an adventurous YA mystery / thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed. Light easy, entertaining read for teens, YA and adults alike.

I love a heist novel! Heiress take all was super cute and definitely something I would recommend to YA readers.

Thank you #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

super fun and interesting vibe. a heist movie plot with characters that felt simultaneously like a perfect fit and a surpris.

Heiress Takes All is a fun, twisty heist book that is a must-read and add to any collection for teens! After being kicked out of her father's home and his life when her mom divorces him for his infidelity, Olivia is bent on revenge. She decides that she will steal his fortune during his wedding ceremony to her new stepmother -- the perfect event and cover for her scheme. Readers will love Olivia's wit and quick thinking. Her schemes, plans, and ability to make the most of any situation and get information from anyone will remind readers of the leading characters in The Inheritance Games and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. The heist is well planned but doesn't go to plan and there are layers upon layers. It's one of those books where it seems like everything is wrapping up but you still have pages left, what's going to happen?! With the excitement, intrigue, suspense, shifting alliances, and twists and turns, readers will be staying up late turning the pages. Give this to readers who loved Thieves Gambit, are fans of mystery and suspense, or like a fast-paced read. Five stars!
