It took me awhile to get back into this one because it had been awhile since I read the second book. So there was lots I had to catch up on and so many characters and their personalities to remember. Thus, I found it slow and a bit less interesting than I expected. That is until I got to the last third of this book and could not put it down. I loved the climax and ending so much, altogether this trilogy has been so much lighthearted, mysterious fun. I would definitely recommend.

A semi satisfying end to this series. I had to look up a synopsis of the second book and was still a bit confused by how some of the characters are literally related. However it’s not super critical imo to understand all that. I do wish the Hawthorne brothers would go to therapy.

I felt the actual end to the whole main plot (the chess game) was a bit anticlimactic. However I did enjoy what Avery does with her fortune, and it being a criticism of billionaires in general.

1/5🌶 (it’s a bit unclear to me whether any spice actually happens or if it’s just closed door. They literally could have just been sleeping in the same bed)

A really brilliant finale to the series. This book made me so emotional, which considering I barely cried for Archers Voice, is saying something. Such a good read, my favorite in the series for sure. We see the characters all in a different light in the end, so much development. Jennifer must be a genius to have this all plotted out, all of the foreshadowing from the beginning.

For Adult Minor Relationship and Domestic Abuse

16 year old was groomed by man in twenties, became pregnant. He tried to choke her to death. Beginning of chapter 62. Most of chapter 63, 65, and 73

For SA

Moderately mentioned. Talks about a past occurence briefly, non consensual kissing, but the scene is blunt and could be deemed graphic. Occurs on page 225 on E-reader. Chapter 55
