everyone’s mediocre reviews had me SO nervous going into this one! the inheritance games is such a great YA mystery series - and I was satisfied with the way it ended - so of course, I was a little wary when JLB decided to continue the series…
but in JLB we trust!!! this one was just as good (if not better) than the original trilogy 🥰🫡
my biggest complaint about the inheritance games was the “pick me” attitude of avery, especially between the love triangle of her, grayson and jameson 😅 so I was elated that she was not the main focus of this one
AND INSTEAD: my four hawthorne siblings are finally getting what they deserve!! we’re talking flashbacks, men with emotions, mysteries about their fathers, and so many shenanigans!! and I loved every second of it
by dividing the POVs between jameson and grayson, we got two completely separate stories that were equally as engaging and entertaining! I could read about these brothers all day long 🥹🫡
