I love this series! I love riddles and puzzles so this series is perfect for me! I enjoye  this book just as much as I enjoyed the first book. Avery continues to solve the Mysteries of the Hawthorne family in this 2nd book in the series. The four Hawthorne Brothers are right there with her.

Personally I thought this book was better then the Inheritance Games.
It was easier to follow along with the characters as we had already met them in the previous book and had gotten to know them. This made it quicker to get into the book. 
Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ writing has definitely improved from her first book. The writing is more developed and detailed, making the book flow more smoothly.
The plot was brilliantly thought out. It was fast paced and intense, with twists and turns throughout the book.
The family tree is quite complicated. I really had to think about who was related to who and how to keep up with the plot.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would defo recommend to read it!

This book was just as much a goddamn rollercoaster as the first. I’m not sure how much I enjoy the love triangle between Avery, Jameson and Grayson, but I do enjoy how all the brothers feel a sort of protectiveness for her.

The whole ‘Avery is Toby’s daughter’ to ‘oh she isn’t it’s this random girl who’s two older siblings work for her just to find him’ I really didn’t enjoy, I think I would have liked it more if Avery actually was Toby’s daughter, but that might just be coming from my hatred for Ricky and Skye and whatever the hell they were trying to do.

I did really enjoy, however, how Max was far more present in the second book than the first, in the first book I felt like Avery was too isolated, with the Hawthorne boys only wanting her cause she was either similar to Emily or to help them solve the mystery. Also, I loved how both Grayson and Jameson have sort of matured, Jameson more so, and how they both know that no matter their feelings they need to put their arguments aside to protect her.
