Publisher’s Synopsis:
“Intrigue, riches, and romance abound in this thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Inheritance Games perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson.
The Inheritance Games ended with a bombshell, and now heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold the answers to all of her questions – including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger, rather than to his own daughters or grandsons.
Thanks to a DNA test, Avery knows that she’s not a Hawthorne by blood, but clues pile up hinting at a deeper connection to the family than she had ever imagined. As the mystery grows and the plot thickens, Grayson and Jameson, the enigmatic and magnetic Hawthorne grandsons, continue to pull Avery in different directions. And there are threats lurking around every corner, as adversaries emerge who will stop at nothing to see Avery out of the picture – by any means necessary.
With nonstop action, aspirational jet-setting, family intrigue, swoonworthy romance, and billions of dollars hanging in the balance, The Hawthorne Legacy will thrill Jennifer Lynn Barnes fans and new readers alike.”
My Review:
This book had me ensorcelled.
I literally read it in one sitting because I could not make myself stop. After reading the first book, I knew there were still mysteries to be solved, but I never could have guessed how deep the rabbit hole would actually go. And holy bombshells did this book just continue to rain them down!
Imagine you’re on a rollercoaster, chugging along towards the top, and you get that queasy feeling of anticipation building up inside. Then the rush of the drop hits you as your stomach bottoms out. And just when you think to catch your breath because that’s over, you start to climb back up again. But this time you’re ready for the drop that’s about to come, except instead you get thrown upside down for a loop.
That’s exactly what reading this book feels like – and I devoured every minute of it.
