Review: Typical and somewhat cliched, but quirky characters and a fun feel keep it intriguing and propel me on to book two

Well done overall, a bit in the typical vein of the feds-and-thiefs-working-together (with-sexual-interest-on-the-side) story, but unique enough and well written with quirky characters.  It's a fun, quick, exciting read...somewhat cliched, yes, but I like this genre so it wasn't boring or TOO predictable.  The cast of characters bordered on silly in behavior, but that gave the book another angle to work on, which it continues right along in book two.  This book was short, but I am looking forward to more of these characters and the development of their story in the other three books.  The next book alone is 445 pages, so it'll definitely give us that.Simon and Jeremy were amusing in all their smirks and attraction (which I would have liked them to hold out and tease each other on for longer, but their coming together works in the moment).  The way the characters interact and the descriptions of their actions put you in the scene pretty well, and I think it will only get better the further the story goes.  I am very excited to read about the next encounters (Jeremy working with the team again), especially with how this book ends.  There's not much else to say about this book.  You can expect the suave thief, the typically gruff FBI team leader, the goof-offs of a FBI squad that are actually very capable when necessary, and noir style heists.  This first book just gives a peek into what we can expect, and I think it is well worth reading and continuing on.  So if you're in the mood for this type of story, read and enjoy.
