Review: Great! Especially if you want to glimpse at a series you haven't started yet.

I loved this free little novella from Ally Carter, crisscrossing the characters from Gallagher Girls and Heist Society. I've only read the first two Heist Society books, and none of the Gallagher books (yet). But the great thing about this little novella is that you can read it without having read either series, if you just want to glimpse at who these characters are and how they may act in their series, and not feel as though you've read any spoilers that would ruin the other books for you. Or, as in my case, I got a glimpse at a couple of Gallagher Girls, and this novella makes me want to start that series because I liked what I read and I'm certainly intrigued to read more about spies (and of course, continue the heist books).In Double Crossed, we get to see little glimpses into Hale and Kat from Heist Society, and Macey and Abby from the Gallagher Girls. Ms. Carter did a great job intertwining and blending the characters and their interactions with each other, making the storyline flow and not feel forced. Actually, I can picture many more of these interactions in the future if Ms. Carter feels so inclined to write more novellas. The story, though short, still flowed very well and felt very cohesive. This was a great treat. I especially liked that we got peaks at each of the characters' POV, even though this was written in 3rd person. For instance, I felt like I was getting some insight into Hale's mind and how he felt about Kat. Well done, Ms. Carter! Thank you for this little treat!
