Description
Sharp-witted seventeen-year-old con-woman Rosa Cellini has plans for the Pope and the Medicis - and, more specifically, the mountain of indulgence money they've been extorting from the people of Tuscany. To pull off the Renaissance's greatest robbery, she'll recruit a team of capable misfits: Sarra the tinkerer, Khalid the fighter, and Giacomo, the irrepressible master of disguise. To top it all off, and to smooth their entrance into the fortress-like Palazzo Medici, Rosa even enlists the reluctant help of famed artist and local misanthrope, Michelangelo.
Old secrets resurface and tensions in the gang flare as the authorities draw closer and the Medicis' noose pulls tighter around Tuscany itself. What began as a robbery becomes a bid to save Florence from certain destruction - if Rosa and company don't destroy each other first.
Get ready for an absolute swashbuckling riot, beginning with a 'mud' pie to the Pope's face, and ending with a climatic heist that would give Danny Ocean a run for his money. Bursting with snark, innuendo and action, Medici Heist is your next un-put-downable obsession.

This was a gripping read with cool characters and an interesting historical setting. Due to its Criminal Found Family on a Heist trope it reminded me of Leigh Bardugo's Crows and Roshani Chokshi's Gilded Wolves series, however it wasn't simply a copy and the historical background gave it an interesting twist. I really liked the different characters and the (small) insight we get into their lives and thus their motives. Due to the many perspectives there wasn't a loot of room for elaborate background stories but I still managed to get a feel for all of them. The guys especially were just 🤍😩 how cute can people be? The heist itself was very interesting and well thought-out, I just wish there would have been a little more detail on what they have planned beforehand and their respective roles, as the reader is left in the dark for most part of the book. Of course that makes it exciting but for me it created a little too much distance and questionmarks in my head 😅 Languagewise the book was easy to read and I loved the short chapters and quick changes of perspective to keep up to date with everyone. Just the PDF format from the e-arc was a pain to read on my phone (tiiiny)... Thanks to Netgalley and Little Brown Books for the e-arc! I would definitely recommend this book to all fans of criminal found family, Florence and and snarky but awesome characters.
