"The thing about strategy," he says, "is that you always have to be thinking seven moves ahead."
Not only do we have some Hawthorne secrets to unravel and puzzles to solve, there is another person calling the shots now.
Traps upon traps. And riddles upon riddles.
So at the start of this story, we know Toby’s life is in danger. It turns out Tobias Hawthorne knew from the beginning that Eve would be involved in this situation and tries to warn Avery. What bothered me the most is that even in this situation he made them solve the puzzles to find out who is keeping Toby instead of just telling them this straight away. The ending of the previous book was good enough to end this series with. I don’t see why we have a third book. It is interesting, I’ll admit that. I didn’t mind reading about my favourite characters again. But it is not on the same level as the first two books.
“They'd been sculpted by Tobias Hawthorne, formed and forged by the billionaire's hands. They were extraordinary, and for the first time in their lives, they weren't living under the weight of his expectations.”

• After a YEAR and 5 months, I’ve finally finished the inheritance games series. Well, I guess not because there’s a fourth book coming but it was supposed to be a trilogy so I’m considering it done. Also the fact that I waited months to read this just to binge it in a day at the end made me furious at myself 😭
• I read the first two books in January of 2022. I absolutely loved them but by the time this came out, I’d completely forgotten everything and kept putting it off. I was finally over it & watched a recap of the first two on YouTube so I can read this.
• Right away, I was really bored. There didn’t seem to be much happening in the mystery aspect. A lot of it was focused on the love triangle and teenage drama that wasn’t even interesting. I thought I wouldn’t be able to put this down but I was dying for it to be over.
• Pretty much every review I’ve ever seen of this has been criticizing who Avery ends up with but to be honest, I couldn’t care less because she didn’t have chemistry with either of them & she continued to make the dumbest decisions and then proceeded to act surprised when she was in danger.
• There were also a ton of time jumps. Every chapter would skip weeks to months and I just felt disoriented reading this.
• As with the first two books, I really disliked Max. The dialogue itself & the other characters were childish enough without her addition and I was cringing every time she talked. I also didn’t like the “trendy” references. It was clear that the targeted audience for this book was Tik tok, as it says on the cover.
• The ending was so predictable and I just felt like I wasted my time reading about a bunch of clueless characters that can’t see what’s right in front of them.
• I think it’s safe to say I won’t be reading the fourth book. There’s another series by this author that I’m interested in reading though and I’ve heard good things about it

I want to say this book was the worst in the series, but it almost wasn't. I think for sure it is tied with first book for which one is worst. While the first book was boring, it had a good plot. This book had a bad plot but was interesting. One thing though, I read all the books back-to-back and I feel like they are staring to blend together.
The main plot of this book (Eve/her family) wasn't a strong plot. I don't think this book was really needed. Yes, we got more of Toby's family drama, but did we really need it... I thought this book could have been so much better.
Even though I have been bashing on the plot, the book kept me interested. I wasn't really interested in the plot; I was more interested in the relationship between Avery and the Hawthrone brothers.
I always wait about 5-10 days to gather my thoughts on the book before writing a review. It's only been 10 days since I finished the book, and I am having a hard time remembering a lot of things in the book. I think this goes to show how much I really enjoyed the book.
I thought the epilogue was nice and definitely needed. I am super excited for the next book to come out. I just hope it's better.
