Olivia took revenge on her wealthy father after he cheated on her mother in Heiress Takes All, and in this sequel, she’s back alongside her feisty crew, this time leading a heist at her grandmother’s estate in Switzerland. She’s been invited to a fancy birthday party, which seems like the perfect place for a quick and painless operation, but things get a bit complicated when her grandmother announces that she’s dying. Now, Olivia finds herself dealing with greedy family members and others who only care about getting a cut of the inheritance. While Wibberley and Siegemund-Broka fill their novel with snappy dialogue and fast pacing, they also do a great job of exploring complicated family dynamics and the emotional ups and downs that come with loss. Olivia’s inner conflict as she discovers her family’s dark past gives her character nice depth, while the charming banter between Olivia and her boyfriend adds a healthy dose of romantic tension. Both funny and full of heart, this sequel will satisfy fans of the first book, as well as anyone who loves a twisty mystery.

A gang of teens regroups to plan another heist—this time in Switzerland—in this sequel toHeiress Takes All (2024). A year after the events of the first novel, Olivia Owens plans a second job, this time at Volenvell Castle, the home of her extraordinarily wealthy grandmother, Leonie Owens, whom she hasn’t seen in years—not since Leonie broke off contact with Olivia’s father. The castle is located in the Swiss Alps, and Olivia has been invited there to celebrate Leonie’s 70th birthday. Joining her are her adoring boyfriend, Jackson, and the other members of her crew: talented baker Deonte, incorrigible Kevin, and dashing Tom. The addition of Tom’s sister, Grace, makes up for the absence of Olivia’s own sister, Abigail, who’s a talented hacker. Olivia’s elaborate plan involves having one of her friends run interference while the rest find their way into a vault that holds gold bullion and diamonds. But they face serious challenges that Olivia hadn’t planned on. Olivia is both confident and vulnerable, and the over-the-top caper is grounded by her unsettled feelings toward her father and her grandmother. Romance fans will thrill to the idealized relationship between Olivia and Jackson, and the wedge that’s again driven between them, clearly setting the stage for a follow-up, will stir up readers’ feelings. Olivia, Jackson, and Kevin present white, Tom and Grace are implied Vietnamese, and the earlier book established that Deonte is Black. An intricate, action-filled sequel with heart.(Thriller. 13-18) Copyright © Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
