Review: Smash and Grab - Amy Christine Parker
Review: Smash and Grab - Amy Christine Parker - July 2016
As soon as I saw the cover of
this book, I knew I wanted to read it. I am one of those readers who love my
teen adventure/spies type stories. Also
when I originally saw this cover and book, I was still on a high from finishing
the Pretty Crooked series, so I was all
about "Heist and Robbery" type stories. The other thing that got me
was that the tagline mentioned "Oceans Eleven" and I loved that movie
series. The book starts out with wealthy girl Lexi and her group of friends
jumping and parachuting from a building; they
seem like a group of in the dark adrenaline junkies.
For Lexi, it is an escape mechanism as she has just learned her father has gone to
prison for bank fraud and her family have lost everything. On the other side of
the tracks is Christian, he is a poorer neighborhood
and has found his mates and him caught up with the local gangs. One thing leads
to another, and they head to pull off a
bank job which has the meeting of Lexi and Christian. Lexi believes her Dad was
set-up by his boss and supposed friend, so she goes undercover as an intern for
the bank to find out the truth and runs into Christian. One thing leads to another, and the pair finds themselves not only falling for one another but discovering
that in a blackmail sort of way, that
they can help out one another and so begins a joining of forces - each with
their set of values, morals, and reasons
behind what they are about to do. When the stakes get higher, will both teams still do their bit to pull off a successful heist or will Lexie's
friends who have less to lose pull out?
Find out in this awesome teen novel that fans of Heist Society by Ally Carter
will love and enjoy as much as I did.
