Katarina Bishop is a thief. To many it wouldn't matter that she now uses her considerable skills to re-steal valuable works of art and return them to their rightful homes. She's still a thief. So that's why Kat's surprised when an Interpol agent comes to her one snowy evening, asking for Kat's help. The Magi Miracle Network was set to auction off a very rare, very valuable Faberge egg two days before Christmas, but the egg's been stolen and now the charity's reputation--and their future--is on the line. Kat's family and Interpol might be opposite sides of most jobs, but someone just stole Christmas. Now it's up to Kat and her crew to steal it back. The Grift of the Magi is a Heist Society novella and is approximately half the length of the other novels in the series. It stands alone, but if you want read more about Kat and her crew check out Heist Society, Uncommon Criminals, and Perfect Scoundrels.

    “It’d be fun, you know. Just once. To wake up Christmas morning with snow on the ground and stockings full of presents that no one had to steal and a house that’s really home.” She reclaimed the teapot and slowly slipped back into the con. “That would be nice. Maybe, someday, we’ll steal that.”
    Such heart-warming, quick and light novella from the world of Heist Society. This novella takes place in Christmas and it had the feeling of the first books in the series, which I love. I really like when the crew is all together! For a short story, there were many twists and turns and interesting plot twists, and I couldn't figure out who stole the egg before the end and I really enjoyed the plan they concocted. This novella also revolves a lot about family and the feeling of Christmas.

    Gabrielle is one of my favorite characters in the series and here we see a side of her that it wasn't in the previous novels, so I enjoyed it a lot. I'm glad her characters is being more developed, instead of focusing solely on Kat and Hale. Speaking of them, the whole drama with them that annoyed me a lot in book 3 is slightly present here, but it resolves in a cute, satisfying way at the end.
