The high-stakes sequel to Thieves' Gambit, for fans of Jennifer Lynn Barnes and Ally Carter.
It's been six months since the end of the Gambit. Instead of winning an impossible wish, Ross has the threat of her family’s execution hanging over her head. Devroe, the only person Ross thought she could trust, could wish the Quests into oblivion at any time. Shockingly, despite his betrayal, Devroe is still making a play for Ross’s heart as the two work together pulling jobs for the Organization. But Ross has learned her lesson: A Quest can only trust another Quest.
When Ross finds herself at the center of a power struggle within the Organization, she sees her chance to change her fortunes. As a new deadly Gambit develops for control of the criminal underworld, Ross strikes a risky deal to guarantee protection for herself and her family.
In this final clash, Ross will square off against a ruthless opponent who will stop at nothing to seize power, and in their corner will be not only Devroe but his mother, who wants to destroy the Quests at any cost.
The new Gambit takes Ross and her crew into the intoxicating casinos of Monte Carlo and across treacherous snow-covered slopes in Antarctica as Ross competes against Devroe in a fight for her life. Loyalties will be tested, backs stabbed, hearts broken. May the best thief win.

Heist Royale is book 2 in the Thieves’ Gambit series. I enjoyed book 1 and knew I had to read this to see what happened next. It was filled with nonstop action and adventure and I could not put it down.
After the events that happened in book 1 we pick back up with our leading lady, Ross Quest, working a job with Devroe. Things quickly shake up in the Organization and a power struggle has triggered another Gambit. The thieves from book 1 are picking sides and the missions are even crazier than last time.
I think I loved this one more than book 1. I was rooting for Ross the entire way. Her character has so much growth since the prior book and it just makes for such an enjoyable read. I think the friendships she has with the others is what really makes this book shine though. It is just a lovely read. I recommend this series if you are looking for a heist book you will not want to put down.
