Finished the series! I’m not gonna continue with the other books in this universe, but these were enjoyable to read. I will say that going into this my expectations didn’t exactly match what I got. I assumed that the puzzles and mysteries were going to be more of a competition between Avery and the Hawthorne brothers, and I think that would’ve made me like it more. That would have also allowed the enemies/opponents to lovers more interesting and prolonged. I also felt like the climax in this final book didn’t have me on the edge of my seat as much as I would’ve liked, and I think the extremely short chapters played a role in that.

“But the games? The ones the boys had played growing up, the ones I had played? Those games hadn’t made us extraordinary. They’d showed us that we already were.”

empiezo diciendo que a mí el drama del romance me daba igual, los dos tenían pros y cons, pero estoy a gusto con la decisión final y bueno, una tontera darle una estrella a un libro porque tú ship no fue canon cuando la trama principal no es sobre el romance ☕

mi reacción inicial es que estuvo muy bien, no había capítulo donde no pasara algo, ¿es más drama de lo que necesitaba la historia inicial? sí ¿eso me importa? la verdad es que no, el libro se lee súper rápido por toda la intriga y las piezas restantes del puzzle. El misterio me gustó, me enredé muchísimo con los árboles genealógicos pero toda esa parte estuvo interesante. No fue un cierre donde todo salía a la perfección para los personajes, pero fue satisfactorio para mí.

ahora, detesté mucho lo que hicieron con Grayson, estuvo ahí obsesionado con Eve y poniendo de lado a los demás, ¿para qué?
