Commentary Concering Books Stealing Heaven
My name is Danielle. I'm eighteen. I've been stealing things for as long as I can remember.Dani has been trained as a thief by the best--her mother. Together, they move from town to town, targeting wealthy homes and making a living by stealing antique silver. They never stay in one place long enough to make real connections, real friends--a real life.
In the beach town of Heaven, though, everything changes. For the first time, Dani starts to feel at home. She's making friends and has even met a guy. But these people can never know the real Dani--because of who she is. When it turns out that her new friend lives in the house they've targeted for their next job and the cute guy is a cop, Dani must question where her loyalties lie: with the life she's always known--or the one she's always wanted.

3.5 stars I really wanted to give it a 4 but the last chapters were so rushed and anticlimactic. The plot was interesting as it is different from the normal YA novels I read before. It was engaging in the first half of the novel but it went downhill afterwards. I also wanted more of Dani and Greg's relationship too.Original post at One More PageI am not exactly an Elizabeth Scott fan. I bought two of her books on an impulse sometime last year (Bloom and Perfect You) and I didnt like them. Since then, I wasnt really keen on reading another Elizabeth Scott book, fearing that it might just end up like the ones I read.I dont know what made me give her another chance in this book maybe it was the cover, maybe I was just bored so I picked this up.Im glad I did.If I was disappointed with the first two Elizabeth

They steal. Basically they move from town to town, targeting the houses that contain their drug of choice, silver. Her mother does it, her father did it. Its the only thing she knows how to do, but is what she wants to do.Their next hit is a small sleepy beach town called, Heaven. Everything is going as
4.5 stars FOR SURE! This book was awesome. Completely different premise than anything I'd ever read before. Dani (Danielle) grew up studying the family business.... which is stealing silver from rich people's homes. She never went to high school, because she was learning "more important things". She and her mom essentially live on the road, going from one town to the next, picking a home, devising a plan to steal from it, stealing the silver, and then moving on to a new town.Until they get to
Ive been eager to explore Elizabeth Scotts books after reading two of her novels that were like night and day. Living Dead Girl haunted me and Something, Maybe was refreshing and enjoyable, so I had no idea what I was in for when I picked up Stealing Heaven. Well, Im glad I did because I was captivated by the book from the very beginning and as the story progressed the events continued to built promising a capitulating ending.Stealing Heaven is about eighteen year old Dani who has spent her
