Mijn WoW:
‣ Ik ben niet zo van de mysteries/thrillers, maar deze samenvatting klinkt toch wel heel erg spannend en toen ik deze tegenkwam op iemand anders haar WoW lijst wist ik dat die ook op die van mij moest komen te staan.De boeken van Ally Carter heb ik niet gelezen maar Ocean's Eleven vind ik een erg leuke film dus dit boek krijgt zeker een kans.
Genre: Young Adult, Mysterie, Thriller
Verwacht: 14 oktober 2014

Fans of Ally Carter, especially her Heist Society readers, will love this teen mystery/thriller with sarcastic wit, a hint of romance, and Ocean’s Eleven–inspired action.
Julep Dupree tells lies. A lot of them. She’s a con artist, a master of disguise, and a sophomore at Chicago’s swanky St. Agatha High, where her father, an old-school grifter with a weakness for the ponies, sends her to so she can learn to mingle with the upper crust. For extra spending money Julep doesn’t rely on her dad—she runs petty scams for her classmates while dodging the dean of students and maintaining an A+ (okay, A-) average.
But when she comes home one day to a ransacked apartment and her father gone, Julep’s carefully laid plans for an expenses-paid golden ticket to Yale start to unravel. Even with help from St. Agatha’s resident Prince Charming, Tyler Richland, and her loyal hacker sidekick, Sam, Julep struggles to trace her dad’s trail of clues through a maze of creepy stalkers, hit attempts, family secrets, and worse, the threat of foster care. With everything she has at stake, Julep’s in way over her head . . . but that’s not going to stop her from using every trick in the book to find her dad before his mark finds her. Because that would be criminal.
