Six months into working for the Gambit, Ross is reeling from the betrayals of the competition – focusing all her hatred on Devroe – the lover she thought she could trust.

​Praise for Thieves' Gambit:

'A propulsive, high-octane thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Full of breathtaking heists, complex relationships, high-stakes tension, and characters I would follow anywhere, Thieves’ Gambit gripped me from the first page, and never let go. You won’t want to stop reading.'
Alex Aster, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lightlark
 
'Thieves' Gambit is a masterpiece! I love everything about this book from the twists and turns to the international settings and the characters. Kayvion Lewis has created a fast paced and dramatic story that had me addicted from beginning to end.'
Natasha Bowen bestselling author of Skin of the Sea

'This fast-paced heist thriller is incredibly assured with a blockbuster feel: highly cinematic' Observer

'A pulse-pounding thriller … addictive' B&N Reads

'Readers will experience the best kind of whiplash as the story moves from one heist to the next. A fast-paced roller coaster of a read' Kirkus Reviews

'Fresh descriptions of varied backdrops, including the Bahamas, Cairo, and France, elucidate wanderlust vibes in this edge-of-the-seat thriller' Publishers Weekly

'The high-octane stakes will appeal to fans of Jennifer Lynn Barnes and Ally Carter, and the twisty plotting is reminiscent of Ocean’s 8. This new teen criminal will steal hearts' Booklist

I enjoyed this one! I love a good heist and Lewis did a good job to make the second book different to the first (it did not feel repetitive). I loved getting more dynamics between already met characters and I did quite like the conclusion to this duology.

I loved this sequel to the Thieves gambit. Somehow it seemed to fall into place more easily than the first book, possibly because I already knew most of the main characters and it was great to see how their relationships changed and progressed. With suspense, romance, frenemies and regular heists there is plenty of action on every page and it’s hard to put the book down! While we do thankfully see more of Ross and Davroe and their enemies to lovers story; it is also the friendships Ross has with others including Noelia and Kyung-soon that I particularly enjoyed reading. Ross frequently learns and experiences more about the value of friends and loyalty including in several life and death situations, and learns she doesn’t have to follow her mums lead with trusting nobody. Clever writing with several scary moments and nice twists along the way! Thanks to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster (Australia) for my ARC copy in exchange for this review.

Another nail-biting instalment in the series, introducing new characters and impossible heists, but staying true to most of the original characters and the unique thrill that belongs to the first book.
