The Thieves (The Millersville series) by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Julie Johnson
The Thieves by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jasmine (Jas) loves her dad. She’d do anything for him and when he tells her that he has a devastating lung disease that doesn’t have the best hopes for recovery, Jas steps in and does what any daughter might do. Or would they? Jas works for a man who’s pretty shady and is laundering money. She takes a risk and steals the money needed to get her dad into a treatment center. Next thing you know, sirens and badges are involved and she finds herself stranded on the side of the road.
Soon, Jas learns who her friends are and even makes new friends along the way and she is on a “vacation of a lifetime” trying to get her dad to treatment. This book has all kinds of ups and downs. There are periods of extreme intensity and others where there are smiles or laughter. I became a fan of Robbie but it took me a minute to warm up to her.
This book is a pretty fast read and will keep you on the edge of your seat. You just never know who’s going to to show up or what’s about to happen until it does. I picked up this book after reading Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller and was not at all disappointed. I look forward to more books in this series!!
