WoW: Thieves’ Gambit by Kayvion Lewis

This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

The Inheritance Games meets Ocean’s Eleven in this cinematic heist thriller where a cutthroat competition brings together the world’s best thieves and one thief is playing for the highest stakes of all: her mother’s life.

At only seventeen years old, Ross Quest is already a master thief, especially adept at escape plans. Until her plan to run away from her legendary family of thieves takes an unexpected turn, leaving her mother’s life hanging in the balance.

In a desperate bid, she enters the Thieves’ Gambit, a series of dangerous, international heists where killing the competition isn’t exactly off limits, but the grand prize is a wish for anything in the world–a wish that could save her mom. When she learns two of her competitors include her childhood nemesis and a handsome, smooth-talking guy who might also want to steal her heart, winning the Gambit becomes trickier than she imagined.

Ross tries her best to stick to the family creed: trust no one whose last name isn’t Quest. But with the stakes this high, Ross will have to decide who to con and who to trust before time runs out. After all, only one of them can win.

Why I’m Waiting: This is the craziest synopsis ever. The heists, the competition, and the fact that there is a potential romance? Yeah this is weirddddd lol But I will most definitely be reading this as soon as I’m able. This book is most definitely going to be an interesting read! Also the two name drops at the beginning of the synopsis make me a little scared, (will it live up to them?) but I’m still excited all the same lol

What about you? Will you be reading this? Did the big name drops at the beginning of the synopsis make you a little scared like me? Let me know in the comments!
