this was a fun ride!! i was slightly confused at times with the mystery and puzzles but i had a good time!

honestly, the tobyhannah moments had me screaming i wish we got more of them from past flashback and toby’s relationship as a true father (idc if it’s not biological that’s her dad) was soooo heartwarming!!! the bonding moments with toby and avery and them also discussing hannah were my favorite part of the book actually just like book 1!

averyjameson were cute!! i was slightly expecting more though, their relationship at times felt very surface level and just the buzz from all of the mysteries but cute nonetheless!

i love xandermax and nashlibby!!!!!!!

2.5.
I really liked the first one. It was a lot of fun with the mysteries, short chapters and I love knives out. But it really should’ve been a standalone. The next 2 felt really drawn out and I don’t care about the love triangle. I just wanted to solve fun puzzles over an inheritance.

tbh this had no plot it was just avery and grayson being annoying and jameson, nash, and xander being perfect

this would definitely be lower if it was a standalone book but bumped up because it was a great end to the series. Just started off a bit slow bc it wasn’t initially clear what mystery they were trying to solve
