My Thoughts

Just like HEIST SOCIETY, UNCOMMON CRIMINALS was a lot of fun to read. I actually enjoyed it more than the first book because I knew the characters so I was more invested in them this time around. I still love that these stories aren’t written in first person. I loved the insight into the story that the third-person narrative gave. I loved knowing what some of the minor characters were thinking.

I felt like Kat grew a lot in this story. In the first one, she was plummeted back into the world she so desperately wanted to leave. In this one, she had a purpose. She was trying to right the wrongs from the past by returning art pieces that were stolen during World War II back to their rightful owners. I loved that by the time the story ended, she realized how important her friends, especially Hale, and family are to her.

The lack of back story into Hale’s character bothered me a little bit in the previous story, but it didn’t in this story. I found it kind of intriguing. I still want to know more about him, but I’m okay waiting for whatever tidbits Carter decides to reveal in each novel.

I’m really excited with the direction and potential of this series. There’s so much Carter can do. I can’t wait to see what comes of Kat and Hale’s relationship. I do hope we don’t have to wait for too many books before we get to enjoy seeing them together romantically.
