It's no secret that some people use their unique gifts to do good, and some use them to do evil. Your classic heroes and villains, if you will. But what about the middle people? The people born with powers, not the kinds that let you fly, or crush cars with your mind, or turn your enemies into puddles of goo before you, the ones that are not quite considered "super". What are they supposed to do? Their powers aren't strong enough to categorize them as hero or villain. Imagine Knife Man or Spoon Girl with the power to control cutlery, do you honestly think they would hold up in a fight against anyone else? Being a superhero without powers is hard enough, being a superhero with a useless super power is damn impossible. Andrew, Carter, and Heather knew that their unique abilities would be worthless if they made themselves full time heroes or villains. Instead, they use their "uselessness" to their advantage. The trio makes their living in their own respected fields, but they come together as the best band of thieves in the world. Nobody would ever suspect three seemingly innocent young adults of 45 high profile theft cases. There is nothing extraordinary about them after all, no crazy hair colors, no fire blasting out of their mouths. It's the perfect cover. When the group steals a valuable, but at the same time worthless, artifact from a museum in Tokyo, they find themselves caught in the crossfire between the National Superhero League and a new super villain on the rise. And since the heroes can't seem to be doing their one job right, the group steps out of the shadows and takes matters into their own hands.

"You have secrets." "I do not." "Yes you do, and I'm going to find out what they are." Claire finds herself joining Brie on an unexpected journey, one that she had never imagined to be a part of, when all she was expecting was a boring roommate. Her mundane life from working at a thrift store changes dramatically, when her path collides with Brie's. The two hadn't met since freshman year of high school, and hadn't realised how different they each were from their teenage selves. How their ambitions, passions, and stories had changed, and what life had in hold for the two. Claire, an exceptionally gifted artist, was always eager to put her skills to use. The question is, would she still want to, if she was to rob a gallery. And as for Brie, her story couldn't possibly be put into a single sentence. Are they fearless enough to face the malice of the world? Are they desperate enough to pull off a heist? Are they insatiable enough to fall in love? Ranks: #17 in heist Note: Not just all the characters, but most places like the museum and town in which the story takes place, the painting and artist are all fictional. Note 2: This is a slowburn, do not read if you don't have the patience for it Note 3: WAY too many descriptions of the sky but that's what you get from an author obsessed with sunsets Themes of sexuality, homophobia, mental health/disorders, eating disorders and addiction Credits to @LoonyGlitch for the book cover
