Kayvion Lewis’s new series, Thieves’ Gambit, is a stellar globe-trotting heist adventure. I love books with a game at its center, and while I sometimes take my guessing a little too far, this book delivered on the game, the characters, and setting the stage for a great series. The book is being compared to Inheritance Game and Oceans 11, and it’s well-deserved comparisons while also creating a unique new crime world.

Ross Quest comes from a family of thieves and has been raised to be fiercely independent. As she tries to spread her wings toward her own future, she is hurtled into a secret game to save her mother. Her other competitors are all vying for the prize of a single wish.

I can’t wait to read more in this series. Thieves Gambit is a wonderful escapist YA novel. I highly recommend it!
