“Tobias Hawthorne’s game hadn’t made me extraordinary. It had shown me that I already was.”
I think this book was the best book of the series so far, I thoroughly enjoyed myself throughout this book and couldn’t wait until I could pick it up again and read more.
Jennifer Lynn Barnes always holds me in the palm of her hand with her writing and I love it every time.
I loved that we got to understand EVEN more of the backstory to Avery’s world and we finally understood why she was chosen by Tobias Hoawthorne’s legacy. The relationship development between her and Jameson made me giddy and I was happy when Grayson had found someone to put his energy into! I am falling more and more in love with Xander throughout this series and I think he has slowly and surely become my favourite character! I just want a BHFF like Xander!
The moment that Eve arrived, I was suspicious and unfortunately I saw a few of the plot twists coming, however, it did not stop me from appreciating the planning on Barnes’ perspective and the incredible writing it took to for me to still be shocked by the twists, even though I saw them coming.
The new characters introduced to the storyline only helped the plot line further. The last chapter skipping to the year ahead rounded up the storyline, although the series hasn’t finished!!
A 4.75⭐️ read for me and I’m itching to open up the next book!
