A high octane sexy space heist from New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis, the second in a novella trilogyAda had no intention whatsoever to continue working for the rebel group that hired her to retrieve the government’s plans for a nanobot climate cleaner if they weren’t willing to pay her for it, but then they offer a different an undercover mission to a charity gala where Rian will be in attendance. Rian, meanwhile, has volunteered his services for the gala believing that the rare items up for auction will attract Ada’s eye. Hoping to catch her in the act and pin her with a punishable crime, Rian has no idea that Ada’s real mission is to convince him to join the rebels. And the rebels have no idea that Ada’s decided that kidnapping Rian is the most efficient means to an end.How to Steal the Galaxy continues the sexy, rip-roaring good time that Beth Revis began in Full Speed to a Crash Landing, with the return of Ada, Rian, and all the tension, twists, and turns that made the first novella so much fun.
After reading Full Speed to A Crash Landing, I immediately jumped into How to Steal A Galaxy because why wait? Ada Lamarr is one fucking badass female heroine who just can’t stop at being one. In this second Novella, we get to see Ada and Rian meet again the latter’s home planet. As usual, every thing that Ada does always entails trouble. Although Rian is one brilliant government official, he is no match against Ada’s cunning and lustful ways. Heh.
How to Steal A Galaxy provides us more details about what’s really happening in the whole Universe and who are the fucking assholes contributing to the misery of everyone. While the book was definitely straightforward at what it wants to accomplish, there was still enough guessing game all throughout the story that made me laugh so hard in the end. As I’ve said, Ada is a scheming, brilliant bitch.
My only gripe about this book is that we didn’t get to see the old Halifax crew as the story mostly centered on Rian and Ada. The timeline of the story was also short as it only happened one day. But then again, these are small gripes and did not really affect the entertainment factor of How To Steal A Galaxy. But uh, why are you always teasing us with so many ungratified sexual innuendos, Beth? I was hoping for some sexy action but it kept getting cut.
Anyhow, just pick up this book and save me from blabbering so much about how amazing it is. So when’s Novella 3 coming out in Netgalley, Beth?
