I really enjoyed this second book in the Inheritance Games series. There were lots of twists and turns to keep the reader interested, though there’s literally so many that if you asked me to describe all the plot points to you now I definitely couldn’t do it.
I adored the further sprinkling of romance that we got, more of that please.
More and more about the late Tobias Hawthorne and his family unravels as the book goes on and we discover more about Avery’s history too and how it all ties together.
I enjoy the characters that Jennifer Lynn Barnes creates in this, particularly the Hawthorne brothers, and Avery’s friend Max. I also love that Avery is this intelligent, puzzle solving babe in her own right, but I am still Itching for Avery to have just that little bit more welly.
Overall a good read and I look forward to reading the next one.

The plot is almost TOO fast. Not to mention practicality and “real life” errors scattered throughout.

i was gonna give this somewhere between 4 and 5 but then so much happened in the last couple chapters it kinda felt a bit overwhelming and was a bit all over the place. i did realllyyyyyyy enjoy this tho!!! this is my favorite series i've read in a long time. again i'm always a little surprised on how heavy the romance is but honestly i think this had good moments where there was no thought of it. sometimes though i just wanna shake avery like GIRL STOP THINKING ABOUT GRAYSON OR JAMESON THIS IS NOT THE TIME 😭 something crazy related to the mystery will happen and suddenly you''ll just read one of those two names like girl 💀
