Synopsis
(From Goodreads)
Macey McHenry—Glamorous
society girl or spy-in-training?
W.W. Hale V—Heir to
an American dynasty or master thief?
There are two sides
to every coin. Whether these two can work together is a tossup.
Born into privilege,
Macey and Hale are experts at mingling with the upper class. But even if
they’ve never raised an eyebrow at the glitz, neither teenager has ever felt at
home with the glamour.
When Macey and Hale
meet at a society gala, the party takes a dangerous turn. Suddenly they’re at
the center of a hostage situation, and it’s up to them to stop the thugs from
becoming hostile. Will Macey’s spy skills and Hale’s con-man ways be enough to
outsmart a ruthless gang? Or will they have to seek out the ultimate inside
girl to help?
The worlds of Heist
Society and the Gallagher Girls collide in Ally Carter’s fast-paced,
high-stakes and tantalizing new story. Get a behind the scenes glimpse as Ally
delivers an irresistible thriller that is full of her signature style and savvy
twists.
My Verdict
Characters from two of my favorite series; Heist Society and
The Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter come together in this fast-paced,
action-packed, cross over story.
Macey McHenry (Gallagher Girls) and W.W. Hale V (Heist
Society) catch each other’s eye at a high-class charity ball. They keep an eye
on each other with a sense the other is hiding something. They engage in some
witty banter, and end up working together when the charity ball is under attack
and everyone is taken hostage.
AHHHHHH! This story was SO good! It made me remember how
much I LOVE both of these series and characters. My only complaint was that it
was only 60 pages, and that just wasn’t enough. I wanted more! I hope Ally Carter
writes more of these cross over stories because it was brilliant!
(NOTE: Double Crossed is currently available for FREE (that's right FREE!) on Amazon.)
