They are really freaking awful and it’s definitely a darker story than the previous installments in the Heist Society stories. The villain in this story is in the league of villains in Gallagher Girls final books tbh. Also, we get more background for Marcus who is always such a joy to have following along with our group.

In Perfect Scoundrels we officially meet some of Kat’s family who we haven’t seen yet (about time, dare I say! also, this was incredibly hilariousespecially uncle Felix hah) and there are other key players in this story of high-stakes who I loved to meet and am hoping we will see in the future as well if that fourth book indeed happens. Simon and the Bagshaws are some of my favorite side characters ever and of course one simply cannot not love W.W. Something that Carter always excels at is group dynamics and it’s such a pleasure reading the group scenes, always! I love that Gabrielle and Kat have grown so close.

However, this book would be a well-crafted finale, but I hope someday we will get to hold that fourth book in our hands and join the gang once more! Some of the problems I had were fixed in this novel, though some still remained. I was semi hesitant to open Perfect Scoundrels since I wasn’t totally enamoured with Uncommon Criminals.
