Today, I'm helping to shine the BOOK REVIEW spotlight on a title currently touring with Rockstar Book Tours. It's the third book in this particular Young Adult series, and just so happened to celebrate its BOOK BIRTHDAY this week (happy belated!), so the more celebration, the merrier! Let's get between the pages of today's book of choice...

A group of parents looking to buy their less-deserving children into elite schools is about to learn a thing or two from a criminal mastermind in the third book in the Infamous Frankie Lorde series, perfect for fans of Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls and Heist Society.
When Frankie discovers that a classmate’s invention has been stolen the day
before a school-wide competition, the once-renowned international thief figures
she might as well flex her skills to steal it back. But just when Frankie’s
about to call her mission a success, she learns there’s more to the story than
she’d originally thought.
A group of wealthy Greenwich parents are using their influence -- and wallets
-- to guarantee that their kids get into the most exclusive institutions on the
East coast, no matter how undeserving their kids are, or how far they have to
go to ensure success.
Easy peasy for Frankie to crack. Until she gets to know these classmates
of hers...and their parents...and everyone's real motivations and issues.
Frankie sets the bar higher, to take the scam down from the top. The guy
who's been hired to get the kids into their desired schools: "Mr.
Admissions."

This was a YA Fiction title with severe Crime Fiction undertones, but together they worked their magic. Frankie was an interesting character, and, despite having not read any of the other works in the series, I still felt quite at home. She has a sordid past, and, quite frankly a sordid present, but she's trying to be a little more straight and narrow since her dad has been put away. What's that? Oh, he was a master thief, and she was his protégé...and the one that wasn't fingered in any of the charges currently standing. Pretty good for a kid, right? Except at her age, she should be worried about school bullies (still is), class assignments (still does), and who she's going to hang out with on the weekend (her only bestie, it's a given, provided she hasn't labeled him a sidekick again because THAT was a blowup!)...not stolen inventions (she's on the case), parental plotting (something is amiss!), and taking down the powers that be that are trying to control the who's in and who's out of the best schools in the country (yeah, she's totally got this worked out...mostly). How's a girl to balance everything with that amount of crazy on her plate? That would be with the grounding power of her bestie (love his character!), her new technologically advanced friend (such cool devices!), and her newly formed family. Hey, family isn't all blood, though it can help, and sometimes the help we actually need isn't what we thought in the first place. Gotta hand it to her uncle...he's a good guy, and definitely has her best intentions at heart. Who said a criminal mastermind and a cop can't be friends?
A great adventure filled with danger, high stakes, friendship problems, and life challenges...but it's nothing our girl Frankie can't overcome.
