This was a great introduction to a new series that I will definitely be reading. I haven't read the 82nd Street Vandals yet, but I'm now curious and it's been added to my TBR. Because I was completely new, I did feel a little bit confused at some points, knowing that I would have a clearer picture if I'd read the other series first. But at the same time, it wasn't enough to make me not enjoy this novella or the characters at all. I'm very intrigued and will probably just continue this series and go back to the other once I've caught up.
