If you want a book with high stakes and diverse characters, then this is the book for you. Ross's family had one rule. Trust no one that wasn't a quest. When Ross tried to branch out and leave her mom behind, she ended up joining the Gambit instead to save her mom's life. There she comes face to face with noelia, her archenemy, and several other thieves all looking to win this year's gambit. It's simple really, win each phase and you win a wish. But when Ross starts to fall for the handsome devroe, things really take a turn. I love the high stakes feel to this book and that ending had me reeling for more. I cant wait to see what the future has in store for Ross, devroe and maybe some of the other characters!

4.25/5 stars! This book really works as a YA mystery story. It felt like a combination of Fourth Wing's competition, Hunger Games, and a comedy. I liked it a lot and it was ridiculously fast-paced. I want to see what comes next from this author.

Well this one was fun! I'm a fan of heist books in general and this one didn't let me down. It was like part Amazing Race, part Ocean's Eleven. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and seeing their relationships develop and grow throughout the book. There was plenty of action, adventure, and mystery, plus some interesting twists. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series! Give this to readers that like thrillers and heists.

I really enjoyed this one. It was hard to put down. It kept me wanting more. The characters are amazing! And I love the title and the story line. Such an amazing book!

The Thieves’ Gambit is precisely the type of book I love. It is addictive, fun, hilarious, entertaining, and unputdownable. I loved everything about it! The heists, action, mystery, and competition had me completely immersed in the story, and I loved seeing how friendships and bonds started to form between the characters! The ending had my jaw on the floor, to say the least. I can’t wait to see how this continues! This will be your alley if you're a fan of Ocean’s Eleven and the Inheritance Games.

For being a law abiding citizen, I am quite enamored by heist stories. This was an excellent addition to the genre. I appreciated the cleverness of all the thieves and their different approaches to the problems. The ending twist took me very much by surprise and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

This book is better in theory than execution. I like the premise, the characters, and the plot, but it just wasn’t quite told right for me. It felt like a rough draft. I’m planning to read the sequel and hoping it’s more engaging.

Thieves Gambit was such a fun read! I love a good heist novel and this did not disappoint! Thieves Gambit was gripping, exhilarating, and kept me guessing the whole way through! I was glad I got to receive a copy of both Thieves Gambit and Heist Royale, so I didn't have to wait to read the next one!

I love a good heist and this was certainly easy to read.

It didn’t feel like it left much to the imagination — lots of telling the reader, which I think lends itself to books with complicated layers but I do sort of like heists that leave you waiting for the next thing.

Fun relationships by the end. Took me awhile to warm up to them.

Obvious twist and a not so obvious one which was great.

I will probably read the next.

I absolutely loved this novel, the action, the mystery, and the puzzles were all amazing. This novel had me engrossed from the first page to the last page. If you enjoyed The Inheritance Games series then you should definitely pick this book up!

Thank you to Netgalley, The Author, and The Publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thieve’s Gambit
Kayvion Lewis

The Inheritance Games meets Oceans Eleven and a little Now You See Me… sign me up!

This is a young adult contemporary mystery and was a thrilling delight and adventure to read. The character development was particularly good.

A fun time reading this!

Great book, Lewis did a good job of incorporating things that reminded me of similar books but changing it to be original and her own. I had a lot of fun reading this and would definitely recommend it to a friend.

This book was a pleasant surprise.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, as it was a quick read and a good time.

The book’s summary of The Inheritance Games meets Ocean’s Eleven drew me to this book. I was not disappointed. While dealing with some heavy subject matter at times, the book was entertaining and I am excited for book 2.

Im giving this book 4 ⭐ omg I didn't really expect to love this book to be completed honest i love this book definitely recommend to read it and i was so good

This was a really fun book! I enjoyed the story, and actually feel like it would make a fantastic movie. The characters were interesting and I liked the way they interacted with each other. I could have done without the romantic storyline, because it didn't quite feel like it was necessary. The ending had some great twists, and it fully made me want to read the sequel!

Did not love this book..... my number one pet peeve in books is bad parenting....... and this book has it in spades. I had a hard time connecting to the main character, and the twist was too obvious. yeah this one is not a series I am going to continue.

This was a quick paced and fun read. However there was a lot more telling than showing which bothers me. It had some plot twists but I wasn’t surprised by them.

I enjoyed this book! The family drama, the life of a kind-hearted thief, the romance with another thief, the thief celebrities and legacy, and thief school were all intriguing ideas. The kids' thieving adventures were exciting to read. I rated this 4 stars.

This book is very similar to inheritance Games but I feel its for a younger audience maybe middle schoolers, my daughter would enjoy this book.
I like that the prize for winning is being granted a wish from the organization, more positive than say Hunger Games where you lose it ends in death. The characters where immature and lacked emotional depth, rim and reason for everything. You do not get much details about the other characters reasons, why, backgrounds in this story. However it does have some good storyline of thieves, some more experience than others, and then of course the lover turned to rival, somewhat enemy.
