Audrey Callahan belongs to a family of con artists in the Weird, but she’s gotten out. However, when her brother gets into some trouble, she agrees to one last heist with her father, to take care of him – then she’s done with her family for good.
Unfortunately, that heist puts her in the path of some very bad people, as well as Kaldar Mar – cousin of Cerise Mar- the main character in the last Edge book. Kaldar very quickly realizes that he needs Audrey’s help to get to the bottom of the can of worms stirred up by the heist.
I love that George and Jack are back in this book – it’s nice to see them in teenhood – between the events of On the Edge, and when they later show up adults in the Innkeeper series – definitely helps explain why they end up where they are when the events of the Innkeeper series happen.
It’s a good solid heist book, and Audrey and Kaldar are a fun romance, though I think the romances in the two prior books of this series were better – this one hurries along a bit too fast.
