I'm really, really excited about this Reading Clean Spotlight .  I haven't seen too much about this book in the blogging world, so I'm hoping that this spotlight will bring some much deserved attention to this fantastic book.  I really loved it, and I hope that you do too!!  One thing that I really love about this series is that all three books are coming out in the same year.  What a fantastic way to put out a series!!  WATERFALL Gabriella has never spent a summer in Italy like this one.

Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners. There are only three problems.

But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous, and that is . . . the emerald is cursed. Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. After...
