Perfect Scoundrels By Ally Carter Review

With a sneaky cover and a awesome name, this book is the need of all teenagers. It is even better than the other series by Ally Carter.

Even though this book is one of the books in the most awesomest heist series on the young adult list, this is the worst book of the series, Heist Society.

Synopsis for all those lazy people out there cause I love you guys:

"Katarina Bishop and W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it's that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting-or stealing-whatever they want. No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale's family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother's billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there's no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won't let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother's will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company's fortune. So instead of being the heir-this time, Hale might be the mark. Forced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she's willing to save her boyfriend's company if it means losing the boy."

When I first read the synopsis, I was like OMG, Kat and Hale are going to be leaving each other!?! Then I read it again and again to make sure I have a reasonable assumption. Then I thought, no. It can't be possible because Ally Carter is writing this and she is usually is not the kind of author who splits couples like these apart. (Other than Josh and Cammie, but that is a different story). 

This book, Perfect Scoundrels, is really more focused on Hale's life than Kat's lifestyle of stealing. There isn't a big heist where the ending is just... mindblowing unlike the previous two books. It is rather disappointing compared to Heist Society and the-second-book-I-can-not-name. 

The writing is, as usual, smooth and comforting. I like its slow and fast pace. I like the Kale (or should it be Kate) scenes. They are as always to die for. 

Kat is smart with heist, but she is horrible with boys. She is a good character I enjoy reading about. She is one of the few badass characters like Scarlet from Scarlet by Marissa Meyer (you can read my review of this book). I can imagine her carrying a gun and loading it calmly while Interpol is after her. Just like Scarlet. 

“'If you don’t mind my saying, Mr. Hale. She’s a keeper.'He pointed in Kat’s direction.”

Hale, the main topic of this book. Hale is a little distant from Kat. He is spacing out in the beginning of the book. However, Kat and Hale renew their boyfriend/girlfriend status in a closet. (Literally) Hale is the stressful one in this book, Perfect Scoundrels. He had just inherited his Grandmother Hale's share of Hale's family company. He is not the owner of the company until he reaches a certain age. The lawyer of his grandmother will retain control of the company. Hale is having trouble believing it, but then he realizes that Grandmother Hale loved him out of all of the Hale family. He truly believes that Grandmother Hale gave him the share. But is it true or a trick?

The Bishop Family of Heist and Thief. As usual, this family is as tight as an ant family (Are ants close to each other?). They would never betray one another. Family drama rings high in humor. Watch the ups and downs of the family's morale. And one will perish in this book. But who is it?

The Bishop Family comes together to pull off this ultimate deception. 

The clients... The old lady that tipped Kat off. The butler's sister. Grandmother Hale promised her a life that has been financially taken care of. But the will didn't mention her. Not even an implied sentence.

The jerk who switched the wills... He is a jerk. A money hungry jerk. He is someone who is after a new invention of Hale's Company. Kat caught him almost right away. 

This book was similar to a game of cat and a mouse. LOL! KAT and a mouse. (See what I did there?) But is brilliant to my standards. Low for Ally Carter's usual standards. 

SPOILERS

1) Hale truly did inherited the corporation. 
2) Uncle Eddie died.
3) The lawyer was the jerk.
4) Hale's first name is SCOOTER!!!
5) We get to meet Hale's money-hungry family.

END SPOILERS

This book's rating is a five out of five. 

SO MANY REVIEWS TO WRITE

Oh my goodness, there are so many reviews to write. (NOT KIDDING)

On my list are these books:

1. The Gaia Wars (The Gaia Wars#1) 

"DEADLY SECRETS have been buried in the Cascade mountain wilderness for centuries. Hidden. Out of sight and out of mind. 

Until today… 

Warren Wilkes, age 13, doesn’t like what a greedy housing developer has done to his peaceful mountain community, so he vandalizes the developer’s property, flees into the wild, and stumbles upon an ancient human skeleton revealed by torrential rain. More than old bones have been exposed, however, and the curious artifact Warren finds makes him question his own identity, and his connection to an ancient terror. A terror destined to rise again and annihilate all that Warren loves. He must fight or see his whole world destroyed."

2. Unenchanted (Unenchanted#1)

"Mina Grime is unlucky, unpopular and uncoordinated, that is until she saves her crush's life on a field trip, changing her High School status from loser to hero overnight. But with her newfound fame brings misfortune as an old family curse come to light. For Mina is descended from the Brothers Grimm and has inherited all of their unfinished fairy tale business. Which includes trying to outwit a powerful Story from making her its next fairytale victim.

To break the fairy tale curse on her family and stop these deadly events, Mina must finish the tales until the very Grimm end."

3. Second Chance Summer

"Taylor Edwards’ family might not be the closest-knit—everyone is a little too busy and overscheduled—but for the most part, they get along just fine. Then Taylor’s dad gets devastating news, and her parents decide that the family will spend one last summer all together at their old lake house in the Pocono Mountains.

Crammed into a place much smaller and more rustic than they are used to, they begin to get to know each other again. And Taylor discovers that the people she thought she had left behind haven’t actually gone anywhere. Her former best friend is still around, as is her first boyfriend…and he’s much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve.

As the summer progresses and the Edwards become more of a family, they’re more aware than ever that they’re battling a ticking clock. Sometimes, though, there is just enough time to get a second chance—with family, with friends, and with love. "

4. Hidden (House of Night#10) 

"At last, Zoey has what she wanted: the truth is out. Neferet's evil has been exposed, and the High Council is no longer on her side -- but she's far from done wreaking havoc in the vampyre world. First, a mysterious fire ravages the stables. Then, Neferet makes a devastating move that will test them all.
With the seeds of distrust sown and Darkness breeding chaos at the House of Night, everyone must band together -- but that's proving to be more difficult than ever before. The twins are barely speaking and the House of Night's former enemy, Kalona, has now become their warrior, pushing their trust to the limit. To top it off, Zoey is pretty darn sure she might be losing her mind. She saw something when she looked at Aurox through the Seer Stone that she can hardly explain to herself, let alone her friends. Is it possible that Heath has come back in a different form? Is that why Zoey's so intrigued by Aurox, when it's so obvious that he's dangerous? And who would believe her if she told them? Zoey knows that following her instinct about Aurox might be just what they need to defeat evil . . . but if she's wrong, it could cause the destruction of those closest to her.
With the tension at a breaking point and friendships on the line, can the nerd herd come together to stop the spread of Darkness before it's too late?"

5. Seizure (Virals #2)

 "Ever since Tory Brennan and her friends rescued Cooper, a kidnapped wolf pup with a rare strain of canine parvovirus, they've turned from regular kids into a crime-solving pack.

That is, unless the Virals can figure out a way to save it.

So when Tory learns of an old Charleston legend about a famous she-pirate, Anne Bonney, whose fortune was never found, she can't believe her luck - buried treasure is exactly what she needs to save the Institute on Loggerhead!
