Having previously read two of Rachel Hawkins books, The Villa (a hit), and Reckless Girls (a miss), I was very curious to see where The Heiress would land. 

Unfortunately, this landed closer to the miss category for me. The beginning starts with a lot of information and a lot of characters thrown at out. Once I got into it, I started to really enjoy the middle. While there were some interesting twists, they felt lackluster and thrown in all at once near the end. This is one of the first books I've had to look up what all happened in the end, as I was so confused by everything happening. 

Had potential, and some may enjoy, but it's not for me. 

2.75/5
