Book Review:
Title: Little Thieves
Author: Margaret Owen
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
I received an early copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
"Vanja, no.""Vanja, yes."
Vanja Schmidt knows that no gift is freely given, not even a mother's
love. The adopted goddaughter of Death and Fortune, Vanja has long made
her own way in the world as the dutiful servant of Princess Gisele.
Until a year ago, when her otherworldly mothers demanded payment for
their care, and Vanja decided to steal her future back . . . by stealing
Gisele's life.
With the help of an enchanted string of pearls,
Vanja transformed into her former mistress and took her place, leaving
the real Gisele a penniless nobody. Now, Vanja leads a lonely but
lucrative double life as princess and jewel thief, charming the nobility
while emptying their coffers to fund her great escape. Until, one heist
away from freedom, Vanja crosses the wrong god and is cursed to turn
into jewels, stone by stone.
With a feral guardian half-god, Gisele's sinister fiancé, and an overeager junior detective on her tail, Vanja has just two weeks to pull off her biggest grift yet, or she risks losing more than her freedom - she could lose her life.
