Robinson's Thirteen

Let's be real, most of us have thought about having a kickass crew to get shit done. Maybe it doesn't need to be criminal but life would be so much better if we all had a badass squad to take over the world (or maybe a Vegas casino) with. Here are the top nine fictional characters that would make up my heist crew.


1. Echo from The Girl at Midnight/The Shadow Hour

I can think of only one person who I'd want to be my right hand and that's Echo, the witty, burrito thief at the heart of Melissa Grey's amazing trilogy. She has deft fingers and great experience as a pick-pocket. She also has a knack for getting out of tricky situations that might just come in hand.




2. Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter Series 

Hermione makes up our squad goals, let's be honest.

3. Kestrel from The Winner's Trilogy 

With her impressive mind for strategy and her experience as a spy, I'm sure Kestrel would be a perfect fit.

4. Lia from The Kiss of Deception and Series 

I'm still on the first book of the series (I know, I'm horrible) but what I remember of Lia was her strength and determination and I'm going to need someone like that on my crew.

5. Reagan O'Neill from Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

Despite the fact that Reagan comes from a more magical world, I admire her loyalty, her sass and her take-no-shit attitude.

6. Karou from The Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy by Laini Taylor

The chick can fly. 'Nuff said.

7. Charlotte Holmes from A Study In Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro

No heist crew would be complete without a Holmes. Am I right?

8. Trixie Watson from The Only Thing Worse Than You Is Me by Lily Anderson

Trixie would be a delightful addition in that she's intelligent and adaptable. She also has enough geek and pop-culture references to make whatever job we have planned fly by.

9. Lilac LaRoux from The Starbound Series by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner 

I need someone who can easily charm and deflect suspicion. Not only is Lilac a pretty good mechanic, but I think she might be a good grifter.

10. Lin Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer 

Can you imagine Lilac and Cinder working together on our badass getaway spaceship? I CAN!

11. Scarlet Benoit from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer 

She's a great shot. Plus, she's hella feisty.

12. Jubilee Chase from The Starbound Series by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner 

Her military training could come in handy. Plus she's just as badass as the rest of the team.

13. Sofia Quinn The Starbound Series by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner 

Another grifter, Sofia would be perfect for the long-con. You know, if we needed to do a long-con.
