Ally Carter’s fun, fantastical, fast-spaced spy stories feature intriguing characters and just a touch of romance that never overshadows the story. The Heist Society series follows Kat Bishop’s gang of teenage master thieves as they pull off amazing heists.

For spy and thriller novels set in 1930’s and 1940’s Germany, it is hard to find a better series than those featuring John Russell, written by David Downing.
Named after each Berlin train station during the period, the stories have a backdrop of peace, war and the aftermath that enveloped the city. The evolution and destruction of Berlin is interwoven with fast-paced plots and interesting recurring characters. Really enjoyable reads.
I read all six in succession and I am still disappointed that the series ended.
