Elisa Ludwig has previously signed at my local B&N, getting me interested in her trilogy. I always love supporting authors, but I especially love supporting local authors!
The first book, PRETTY CROOKED, is about a girl who is a modern-day Robin Hood at her private high school, taking from her rich "friends" and giving to the poor scholarship students. You know how I like books twisted together out of fairy tales and other retellings!
If you're a fan of heist books or authors like Ally Carter, you'll want to check out Elisa Ludwig's Pretty Crooked trilogy:
The final book, PRETTY WANTED, comes out this week, so you don't have to wait to find out how the series ends if you're the type of person who likes to read everything in one big gulp!
Want to take a chance?
The first book in the trilogy, PRETTY CROOKED,
is on sale digitally for only $1.99!

Title: PRETTY CROOKED
Author: Elisa Ludwig
Author: Elisa Ludwig
Release Date: March 13, 2012
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books // HarperTeen
SUMMARY:
Willa’s secret plan seems all too simple: take from the rich kids at Valley Prep and give to the poor ones.
Yet Willa’s turn as Robin Hood at her ultra-exclusive high school is anything but. Bilking her “friends”-known to everyone as the Glitterati-without them suspecting a thing, is far from easy. Learning how to pick pockets and break into lockers is as difficult as she’d thought it’d be. Delivering care packages to the scholarship girls, who are ostracized just for being from the “wrong” side of town, is way more fun than she’d expected.
The complication Willa didn’t expect, though, is Aidan Murphy, Valley Prep’s most notorious (and gorgeous) ace-degenerate. His mere existence is distracting Willa from what matters most to her-evening the social playing field between the have and have-nots. There’s no time for crushes and flirting with boys, especially conceited and obnoxious trust-funders like Aidan.
But when the cops start investigating the string of burglaries at Valley Prep and the Glitterati begin to seek revenge, could he wind up being the person that Willa trusts most?
Title: PRETTY SLY
Author: Elisa Ludwig
Author: Elisa Ludwig
Release Date: March 18, 2014
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books // HarperTeen
SUMMARY:
Willa Fox was told to stay out of trouble. In fact, it was an order from a very serious juvenile court judge.
However, that was before Willa found her house ransacked and a mysterious email from her mother telling Willa she had to leave Paradise Valley for a while and not to come looking for her. Willa knows her mom’s in danger and that no one at school will miss her after her recent sticky-fingered stunts with the Glitterati. So with the help of her pal Tre and with her degenerate crush Aidan as her wingman, Willa violates her probation and hits the California highway in search of her mom.
But when Willa and Aidan’s journey turns dangerously criminal and they wind up being the focus of a national manhunt, they realize it’s sometimes easier to escape the law than the truth—and that everything Willa thought she knew about her mom, and her life, was wrong.
PRETTY SLY is Elisa Ludwig’s fast-paced sequel to PRETTY CROOKED, the second book in a trilogy that’s pitch-perfect for fans of Ally Carter. With a daring heroine who has one-of-a-kind spunk, a roller-coaster Bonnie and Clyde romance, a thrilling mystery, and a shocking twist ending, this book will have readers rooting for Willa as she makes the wrong choices to do the right thing. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the series conclusion.

SUMMARY:
Willa’s string of good-hearted but ill-conceived thefts at her former high school catapulted her into a life she hardly knows. She became a cult hero, but soon afterward, her mom disappeared, leaving only a cryptic message. When Willa hit the California highway to find her, she discovered a dark family secret: Joanne Fox is not who she says she is-and neither is Willa. Now, Willa and fellow trouble-maker Aidan must race to St. Louis, Missouri, Willa’s birthplace. There, they hope to find answers about Willa’s past. But uncovering the truth requires solving a decades-old murder case.
Unfortunately, the perps are still out there . . . and willing to do whatever it takes to keep the case cold. With Willa’s face on the nightly news and the police hot on her trail, it might not matter that Aidan and her friend Tre are there to help. Willa’s only hope is to find the truth before it finds her first.
