Six of Crows

Bardugo, L. (2015). Six of crows. New York: Henry Holt and Company. 





Kaz Brekker is offered a tempting job where he is asked to help a criminal escape from prison. This heist can turn deadly, yes, but if done successfully, this could mean that he would be richer than he had ever even possibly dreamed of. Although he is pretty much a criminal prodigy, he knows rather well that he cannot pull this heist alone so he enlists the help of other teenagers with a not so clean record. The task is equivalent to a mission impossible and is to free a scientist from the world’s most secure prison and the task is taken quite seriously. Far from acting for the good of the world, this group’s leader cares only for himself and no one else. Was inside the prison, things go terribly wrong and the Dregs find themselves trying to escape themselves. Although it may not be fast paced from the beginning, it quickly turns into a page turner. With a little bit of romance and high stakes action, Six Crows is definitely a crowd pleaser.

Will-
A convict with a thirst for revenge.
A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.
A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.
Be able to pull of the heist of a lifetimes? Perhaps if they don’t kill each other first. 

Interesting to say the least, this novel will keep you at the edge of your seat and includes the best elements that a YA reader will most definitely enjoy!
