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.Rating Appertaining To Books Stealing Heaven

This review can also be seen at The Book EaterThis started out really well. So well, actually, that I found myself highlighting passages every 2 pages. I loved Scott's prose, the chemistry between the characters, and more than anything, I loved the character development. Dani's slow coming of age from a tentative teenager, overwrought with guilt and self-esteem issues to a strong woman who takes her destiny into her own hands was beautiful to watch. Now, when I say self-esteem issues, I don'tStealing Heaven ReviewIn the book Stealing Heaven a girl Named Danielle, also known as Dani, is a thief with her mother. Her mother taught he all she knows. Shes been getting away with it since she was about 7. Dani doesnt want to live the life she has been living. She just wants to change and be a better person, but its harder than she thought. Dani is planning on sealing silver from a big house that her new friend is living in for the summer. She doesnt know it until the middle of the mission.
Danielle has always been a thief. She and her mother runs around from town to town stealing silver - something that is not as obvious as diamonds and jewels but can still heft a high price. Dani never connected and made any friends because of all their moving around, however, things change when they move to Heaven where tons of high-end families live and gather.Personally, I thought Stealing Heaven was very unique because I never realized that people especially teenagers will go around just to

She makes friends with a girl she meets at the beach and even attracts the attention of a guy who turns out to be a cop. But she can't tell her mom any of this because
Dani is eighteen years old, and she has been stealing for as long as she can remember. Her mother is an expert--an expert at working people, at picking the right rich houses, at ferreting out the good silver. At making nice to guard dogs and finding a way around alarm systems. And she has taught Dani everything she knows.Dani and her mother have been on the road all her life, stopping in a new place only long enough to steal some silver, and then getting out of town before anyone suspects. She
I just love everything about Stealing Heaven. I love Danielle, who is a professional thief. And Greg, who is the grinning cop with crazy hair. I love reading about older characters in YA (18 and 20years) and the uniqueness of the story. This is the book I wish I had written :)The premise of a thief liking a cop is achingly done. I got a little emotional in this one. Probably just me :)I've re-read this one and it's still a fave. I think maybe my favourite out of Elizabeth Scott's books so far...
I celebrated the generosity of Elizabeth Scott with an E.Scott-a-thon last weekend and this was the book that made the biggest impact on me. The book is honest with a style that I can recognise as distinctly Scottish (meaning Elizabeth not the country) in tone. Having been an excited E.Scott vlog watcher of late, I can hear her reading each word to me so I - 1) possess a vivid imagination, 2) am going bonkers or 3) Elizabeth Scott has mastered teleportation and is in fact reading to me.Dani is a
