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.

A girl inherits billions and she doesn’t know who the dead guy was. She needs to stay at a mysterious mansion with a lot of secrets AND the dead guy has 4 ✨very attractive✨ grandsons.
I liked the mysteries but hated the love triangle.
And somehow it was very addicting to read but looking back there were only a few plot twists and one that I though would be the biggest one was only okay.
The concept is really nice and the writing most of the time aswell.
Devoured the second half of the book in under 2 days but now I have more questions than I had before.
Don’t really know if I’m going to read the sequels.
Would recommend to younger teens and people that love mystery and love triangles.

I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did. I thought it’d be predictable and not really my style. But despite my expectations, the book had me hooked within a couple of pages. I loved guessing along with the characters about what would happen and how they would solve each mystery. 
What I do have to say though, is that the book sometimes feels like a teen drama show. This is not a bad thing (one look at my old tumblr reveals how much I obsessed over teen drama shows, so yeah, definitely not a bad thing) but I still wanted to point it out. 
The only reason I didn’t give the book five stars is the fact that I don’t really vibe with love triangles. So far it wasn’t even all that bad, but love triangles just always leave a bad taste in my mouth. But oh well, I’ll see what happens in the next book. 
See, that’s another positive thing about the book, I didn’t wait a single second after finishing the book, before I ordered the sequel.
