Reviews with content warning for Pregnancy - The Hawthorne Legacy

This book is the second in a trilogy and is a quick read! It’s old money, puzzles, riddles, will they/won’t they, a love triangle that doesn’t leave you annoyed, lost family, found family, mystery, and romance.

After the mystery seemed to have been wrapped up in book 1, I was very intrigued to see where the story went next. I thought this story did a good job of organically extending the mystery. I particularly appreciated that it was revealed quite near the start that

Avery beliveved Toby was her father (the fact that he was not biologically her father but saw her as being like a daughter was a really beautiful touch).

I think I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first one because I have a clearer understanding of the dynamic with the games and the puzzles. I also felt as though the love triangle was basically gone;

Avery and Grayson clearly still had feelings for one another but the choice had been made and Avery was with Jameson and that was that.

Overall this book was a fun ride.

I am so happy that this book was better than the first book. I personally feel like this book was better. I thought the plot was more engaging.

I am still on the fence about Garyson Vs. Jamieson. I am leaning towards somebody, but I am not going to say who I feel once I am % sure. One thing that bothers me is that they say they don't want Avery to be another Emily, but they are also putting her in the same situation... I feel like that has a little bit of sway as to why Grayson back down from Avery.

There was one thing I have to say about this book plot twists that bothered me. I felt that every single plot twist in the book was the same. They were all about

characters being related. Like for real every character in the book be having a huge family that has something to do with the Hawthrone's in some way shape or form

I mean don't get me wrong even thought they were all the same I was still surprised.

I liked how we got more insight about Avery's family and her upbringing. A lot of how she was raised played into how she handles herself and others in the books. One thing though, in the first book I felt Avery's reactions were a little more guanine, whereas in this book I felt like she had no reaction to anything.

Will be starting the last book Right now. Kinda sad for it to end.
