This is the second book in the Inheritance Games series, and I can’t wait to read the final installment! I was actually surprised at some of the twists and turns in this one. I’m glad we learned more about the background of both Avery and the Hawthorne family, and got to see Avery’s character develop more. 

Secondary to the mystery aspect, there is a love triangle still brewing between Avery, Jameson, and Grayson. I know the obvious choice might be Jameson, but I am definitely Team Grayson! ☺️

Definitely read this series if you enjoyed Knives Out!

I want to reallllllly like these, but I'm only finding them mostly okay and entertaining, which is starting to annoy me. Yes, there are whiplash levels of twisty, interesting reveals, but the puzzles and clues feel kind of basic. Combined with the angsty love-triangle-ness of it all, it just feels a bit juvenile compared to other YA mysteries I've enjoyed. It's still a pretty fun ride, though, so I'm definitely go on to book 3. And Max is the best — she's with 3 stars just on her own!

This book was just as much a goddamn rollercoaster as the first. I’m not sure how much I enjoy the love triangle between Avery, Jameson and Grayson, but I do enjoy how all the brothers feel a sort of protectiveness for her.

The whole ‘Avery is Toby’s daughter’ to ‘oh she isn’t it’s this random girl who’s two older siblings work for her just to find him’ I really didn’t enjoy, I think I would have liked it more if Avery actually was Toby’s daughter, but that might just be coming from my hatred for Ricky and Skye and whatever the hell they were trying to do.

I did really enjoy, however, how Max was far more present in the second book than the first, in the first book I felt like Avery was too isolated, with the Hawthorne boys only wanting her cause she was either similar to Emily or to help them solve the mystery. Also, I loved how both Grayson and Jameson have sort of matured, Jameson more so, and how they both know that no matter their feelings they need to put their arguments aside to protect her.
