This was a fun read, though having the love triangle between two emotionally distant brothers was tiring and very insta-lovey. Solving the puzzles was an interesting driver in the plot. I kind of saw the plot twist from a mile away though. These chapters are so short throughout that the book moved fast. I want answers so I’ll definitely read the next book, but I’m not in a hurry. The brothers all annoyed me a little bit lol.

Decent YA read. The characters weren’t super likeable, but I plan to read the next one. The plot is what kept me reading. Some of it was predictable, but I plan to keep reading

to find out why Avery received the money.
