This was an excellent follow up to a fantastic start and I'm very excited to see how this trilogy gets wrapped up.

In terms of Avery's life, the unnecessary love triangle marches on. I was pleased with the resolution at the very end of the book where an actual choice is made. I'm not sure I was cheering for anyone in particular before, but I like what Avery decided. My only concern is that the series isn't over, and sometimes love triangles have the last laugh when I think they're over, so. Just hoping the current choice is endgame, and we can focus on different drama in the next one. In non-romantic news, best friend Max shows up instead of just being a voice over the phone, which is a vast improvement for everyone. I desperately needed someone to say "smash the patriarchy" in front of all the rich people.
In terms of the mystery, there's some light (private) jet-setting, which adds to the makeover montage moments to remind us that there is ridiculous wealth on the line. Like an alarming amount. Like I think Max has her work cut out for her with the smashing part. I didn't find most of the reveals particularly shocking as the mystery unfolds, but I was entertained at all times. Also, the sheer number of twists and turns made for an intriguing path for the characters even if you suspect what's coming at the end. This book was pure escapism for me, and I loved it.

“The Hawthorne Legacy” occurs right after the events of “The Inheritance Games,” with a new mystery to solve and even higher risks at stake. While I liked the first book more, the Hawthorne Legacy was a successful follow up to an ongoing trilogy.
One thing I appreciated was the character development of Avery, as she really embodied a smart and lovable character. Her character arc paired with the short chapters and engaging mystery created a fun read, which helped me escape reality for a few hours.
However, the love triangle kind of upset me at times, and a few plot points were not my favorite. But all in all, I will be picking up the last book when it comes out, and suggest that you do as well.
