Teenage socialite Margo Manning leads a dangerous double life. By day, she dodges the paparazzi while soaking up California sunshine. By night, however, she dodges security cameras and armed guards, pulling off high-stakes cat burglaries with a team of flamboyant young men. In and out of disguise, she’s in all the headlines.I will always want to read Roehrig's books. He has this knack for blending so many different elements together and producing a fabulous story.
But then Margo’s personal life takes a sudden, dark turn, and a job to end all jobs lands her crew in deadly peril. Overnight, everything she’s ever counted on is put at risk. Backs against the wall, the resourceful thieves must draw on their special skills to survive. But can one rebel heiress and four kickboxing drag queens withstand the slings and arrows of truly outrageous fortune? Or will a mounting sea of troubles end them — for good?
I am so, so intrigued by this one. I mean a cat burglar socialite with a team of kickboxing drag queens? Yeah, I am my interest is definitely piqued. And, I have seen this compared to Ocean's 8, which scores points in my book. All I know for sure is that Roehrig has yet to disappoint me.
What are you waiting on?
Let us know in the comments!
This would be way out of my comfort zone to read but the comparison to Ocean's 8 is interesting. I'm intrigued by the kickboxing drag queens!
ReplyDeleteRoehrig arms his characters with great personalities, and some fantastic, biting humor. I always love them. Right? I need to know more about the squad.
DeleteA socialite-cat burglar and kick-boxing drag queens... oh my gosh, that sounds hilarious. I can't wait to see what you think of this one. :)
ReplyDeleteHis other books had funny moments, but I feel like this one may be his funniest one.
DeleteYep, this does sound fun! Quite the cast of characters.
ReplyDeleteThat is something Roehrig is great at - putting together a great cast.
Deleteit does sound intriguing and love the cover and title! hope it's good Sam!
ReplyDeleteThe cover was so different from his previous two books, and strikes me as a little cheeky. I am interested in finding out if the cover matches the MC's demeanor.
DeleteOMG Sam!!! That blurb is fantastic! I haven't read any of his books but I can't wait to read your review for this one when you'll read it and be (hopefully) convinced to buy it! Sophie @bewareofthereader
ReplyDeleteI feel good about this one, and I hope it's as good as I think it will be.
DeleteThis one sounds interesting and is holding a place on my watchlist! I still need to read his first book to get an idea of his writing style but this one sounds intriguing!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW

His first two books were great. I love how he combine a mystery with a romance with a coming-out-story. This one seems a little different, but I still expect it to be fabulous.
DeleteI've been eyeing this one too. It sounds like a lot of fun and I love that wild cover.
ReplyDeleteHe has a great sense of humor, and I love his books.
DeleteThis sounds very fun! And that cover is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely award a gold star to the cover designer.
DeleteI think I have this one, but this is the first time I've actually read the synopsis. There is a lot going on, haha!
ReplyDeleteSame. I requested it just because Roehrig wrote it and it was in my preferred genre. I can't wait to see what he has in store for us.
DeleteOMG, this sounds freaking amazing! I can't believe I didn't know about it till now. I love Caleb Roehrig I follow him on social media and I just love him. This sounds like a great read and i'll definitely keep an eye out for it.

Me toooo!! How lovely is the cover btw? I love the cheeky wink!
ReplyDeleteIt's that cheeky quality, that has me wanting to read it even more than the fact the Roehrig wrote it. I want to know that girl.

ReplyDeleteMary
He writes really great hybrid type books. They are first and foremost mysteries, but then he has romance, coming of age, and coming out stories blended in there. I really enjoy his books.
DeleteI love they way he writes characters/relationships under pressure cooker situations and this looks fun.
ReplyDeleteI just won a copy on Goodreads! *flails*
