Brie and Claire
"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 coverComplete

The Ledger Heist
In the heart of New York City, a crew of audacious thieves pulls off the unthinkable: stealing a priceless Leonardo da Vinci painting from one of the world's most prestigious museums. But this is no ordinary heist. Blair, the mastermind, is driven not by greed but by a desire to expose a web of corruption stretching from the museum board to international networks of illicit art trading. Joined by a diverse team-Miles, the impulsive charmer; Thomas, meticulous and haunted by past failures; Kyle, protective to a fault; Maeve, the persuasive public face; and Anastasia, a reluctant insider torn between loyalty and conscience-they execute a plan that is as theatrical as it is dangerous. Along the way, they navigate moral ambiguity, personal stakes, and the relentless pursuit of Interpol, led by the sharp, calculating Elena Voss. From glittering gala nights to clandestine rendezvous in Manhattan's shadows, the crew exposes not only the museum's hidden dealings but also the fragility of trust, the complexity of loyalty, and the price of seeking justice outside the law. Arrests, betrayals, and high-stakes interrogations push each member to confront their deepest fears, ethical boundaries, and the bonds that tie them together. Even behind bars, the story is far from over. A hidden ledger, encrypted evidence, and carefully orchestrated plans ensure that the truth survives-revealing a shocking twist: the corruption runs deeper than anyone imagined, implicating a high-ranking Interpol liaison who tried to bury the investigation. The Ledger Heist is a thrilling, morally complex tale of art, crime, and courage-a story where victory comes at a cost, justice is never simple, and the real picture is always more than what meets the eye.Complete
