True to the title, this is a YA heist/thriller book, picking up shortly after where Thieves Gambit left off. This was a good sequel, certain scenes having raised stakes. I loved the whole casino scene and the twist at the end.

I absolutely loved this second book. The characters had good development, the plot kept me on my toes, and the writing was great. I found myself staying up late to see how the story played out. The plot twists in the middle were not predictable however, the end was but I didn’t mind that at all. Overall, great book and if a third comes out I’ll be sure to read it as soon as I can get my hands on it.

I've been waiting for this book ever since I finished Thieves Gambit last year and oh my god it did not disappoint, I absolutely adored seeing more of Ross's friendships especially with Noelia and Mylo (and some other fun characters 🤭) This book was brimming with action and packed with hilarious moments. Watching Ross realize that she can't be like her mother was so heartwarming and I felt it was needed especially after her starting to realize it in Thieves Gambit I couldn't put it down for even a minute, and now I'm already craving more. While Lewis wrapped up the book in a satisfying way, I just can't bear to say goodbye to these characters.

Thank you Penguin Teen for a Physical copy of this book, all opinions are my own

Big thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the chance to review this book pre-release. Heist Royale was an EXCELLENT follow up to the Thieves' Gambit. I thought the sequel was just as strong as it's predecessor, and still just as fresh and unique. Auto-buy author for me for sure! A more formal review will be available on my IG/TikTok and Goodreads.

Pleaseeee tell me this series will continue on?! I could literally keep reading different heists that this crew pulls off over and over again lol. Heist Royale picks up six months after the events of Thieves’ Gambit and was just as fun and explosive! I love the pretty much every single character and the mission impossibles that they usually succeed in. The near ending I didn’t see coming tbh but I feel like it was wrapped up too perfectly? So I’m not sure if there will be a sequel but I’d most definitely read more books in this series!


If you like spy movies/books, high stakes, mission impossible, lovable characters each with their own motives and just overall fun reads, the Thieves’ Gambit series is perfect for you.

I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.
