I also liked that the story was very engageing and allthough I'm usually not a big fan of books that don't have a set ending and are basically just smaller parts that make a series more digesteable I'm definitly hooked and I'll start the next part right away.
A very refreshing and quick read for me.

<b>Did Not Like</b>
So, it ends on a mini-cliffhanger. I say mini, because I saw that cliffhanger the <i>moment</i> our main character thinks about why she was given an inheritance. It was an obvious one to me, LOL. Then there was the fact that I hated how the elder sister would do something that was so obviously not a good move for her and her sister, and just -- it was heartbreaking. And lastly - there aren't any actual puzzles or games.
<b>Did Like</b>
1) THE ROMANCE, holy SHIT. This book is labelled as a love triangle but you know immediately who the endgame is going to be (even though we're not finding out in this book) just by the interactions that are had between the two characters. There's charm and intrigue, but it's obvious they care for one another, even though they just met, and are willing to think about one another.
2) The pacing and writing. The chapters are short, and the events move by quickly, but you know when and how it's going on. There's next to no confusion over anything, even though most chapters end in some sort of question - that generally gets answered relatively quick in the next chapter.
3) The characters. There are a lot of players in this game, but we know enough about every single character, even the minor ones, to not really feel any confusion about them, which is something I was worried about.

It's not perfect in my eyes. It has it flaws but it's still enjoyable. Very easy to read very quickly.
