This book couldn't really keep me captured. I don't think that is necessarily the author's fault, though. It just couldn't keep my interest, so I ended up not finishing this one.

Jules Parish has screwed up.After three years of boosting cars, she got caught. She's too good to get caught, but she let her (ex)-boyfriend talk her into a questionable job. And now, she and her little sister, Emma, will be kicked out of their foster home, left to survive on the unforgiving streets of Las Vegas alone.

Eccentric, wealthy Roger Montgomery wants to open up his mansion to Jules and Emma. The only catch? Jules must steal seven of the rarest, most valuable muscle cars in the world—in seven weeks. Even worse, she’s forced to put her trust in three complete strangers to help her do it.

First there’s Chelsea, the gorgeous redhead with a sharp tongue and love for picking locks. Then there’s Mat, who hasn’t met a system he couldn’t hack. And finally there’s the impossibly sexy car thief Nick, whose bad attitude and mysterious past drive Jules crazy.

With nothing in common and everything to lose, can Jules and her amateur crew pull off what could be the biggest car heist in history? Or will things spin out of control faster than a Nevada dust devil?

Wow, this was quite a fast paced and thrilling story! I really liked the plot and the characters. Julie's background was quite tragic. With her little sister she is just trying to survive in the foster system.She doesn't trust Roger, her new, slightly creepy and very rich foster parent, nor does she trust the three other teens she and Emma must now live with.
The plot is focused on Jules, Nick, Matt and Chelsea, who are breaking the law and stealing cars. But it is clear they don't like what they are doing, despite being so good at it, all they want is to break away from the life of crime in which they find themselves.Besides the car stealing red line a there's a little romance between Jules and Nick which was very cute. It really was the softer spot in a mostly edgy YA novel.

This is just a great and very fast ride of a book!
