It All comes down to this book, after loving the previous 2 I know that Book 3 was going to be huge and WOW, I was not expecting the twists and turns within this one. Once again there was lots of Twists, Turns and suspense throughout the entire book. It’s safe to say that it’s all been building to this, and it was such a roller coaster ride of emotions but once I picked it up, I found it incredibly hard to put this one down which was the perfect way to round the series off! 

 

As the clock ticks down to the moment when Avery will become the richest teenager on the planet, trouble arrives in the form of a visitor who needs her help—and whose presence in Hawthorne House could change everything. It soon becomes clear that there is one last puzzle to solve, and Avery and the Hawthorne brothers are drawn into a dangerous game against an unknown and powerful player. 

 

It’s clear from the writing that the Author had a vision in mind and the final journey mapped out right from the start as it’s all been building to this and lots of the groundwork had already been completed! There were multiple reveals in this book branching off from clues left in the previous stories, culminating in an epic finale that felt perfectly fitting to who Avery and Hawthorne brothers were. 

 

Riddles upon riddles, secrets upon secrets and this leads to the final chapter of The Inheritance Games. I wasn't disappointed & What a way to round off the series!

Ze začátku jsem se úplně nemohla začíst, pak to bylo asi 200 stran super, ale konec mi přišel po třech knihách tolika napětí dost... plochý

This series as a whole was consistent in one way: being mediocre. However, your girl was thoroughly entertained throughout so points for that. Although I’m a Grayson girly through and through, the romance between Jameson and Avery was better in this book, so also points for that. Even though Avery was so wishy washy with who she wanted; she’s with Jameson but she’s still out here being jealous of another girl cozying up to Grayson, it was giving me whiplash. But listen, this book was giving soap opera on so many levels; secret baby daddy’s, weird familial connections, romantic drama, murder, rich people fighting…chile, it was a time. I do know that there are two other books that I guess are sort of spin-offs, but I’m done, thank you very much. The only way you’ll catch me reading a new instalment in this series is if it gives me Grayson and Avery.

I enjoyed this fun summer read. It is absolutely itching to be made into a TV show.
