My Thoughts:
I'm a huge fan of both the Gallagher Girls series and the Heist Society series, so when I finally got around to reading this I was so excited. I think both series are fab and I can't choose which one I like best, so this is like a dream come true for me. It's only a short story, about 60 pages, so it took less than an hour to read, but I loved every minute of it.
Macey and Hale are two of my favourite characters from both series. I really liked getting to know Macey in Gallagher Girls and seeing her work together with Cammie, Liz and Bex in their missions, and Hale is just dreamy in Heist Society ;) I'm not even ashamed to admit that. It was great to see the two worlds interact and I seriously think that Macey and Hale should form a crime solving double act. It'd be awesome. Kat also makes an appearance which I wasn't expecting, and as per usual she was awesome too.
As it's only 60 pages and it's a fast-paced bit of fun, I don't really have that much to say about it apart from that if you've not read it but you're a fan of both or either series, you're definitely missing out, however you don't need to have read them to enjoy it anyway. I really hope that Ally writes more of these short stories, perhaps with Cammie and Kat as I think that would be a match made in heaven. Now I've run out of things to say, so just go read these books!
