Book Review: A Thief Revealed by Heather Sunseri

International Thief Book 1

Because of a single careless mistake as a troubled teenager, Lola Parks is forced into a life as a thief. However, her victims—the corrupt and greedy upper crust of European society—hardly warrant sympathy.

Eleven years after that fateful mistake, her life hopelessly tethered to her “handler,” Lola lifts a diamond worth £2.6 million from the finger of a young socialite while at a posh London soirée and inadvertently steps into the midst of a much larger crime. When the target winds up dead, the murderers’ mission becomes finding the diamond, leaving Lola to seek protection from an unlikely source—the man tracking the girl’s killer.

Dimitri Tobias is tasked with finding the thug responsible for murdering his client’s daughter while stealing a priceless diamond. But when Dimitri meets the exquisite and sexy Lola Parks, he quickly realizes: Lola may be a clever thief, but she’s no killer. When Dimitri discovers what evil force is behind the murder, he becomes torn between capturing a thief, saving a thief, and falling in love with a thief.

My Review:

Ever since Declan first introduced us to Dimitri in the ‘In Darkness’ series, I’ve been dying to know more about him. I can’t say for sure that I’ve come away from this book actually knowing more, but at least I got more page time with him. And, Light of Heaven! That page time is good. This book contains all of the best elements of my favorite heist movies: especially the multiple layers of double-crosses. From Entrapment to The Score, from The Code to Heist, I adore a story that presents the ‘bad guys’ (or girl in this case) as the good guys in comparison. I want to read more about Dimitri and Lola, NOW! I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
