The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

adventurous emotional mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

oh my god this book. i loved almost everything about it. the new mystery, the little hints of love, the making decisions of who to go after, basically everything. i will definitely say that my actual favorite moment was every moment avery was able to be vulnerable. it doesn't happen much for her but when it does its nice to see.

i cant wait to read the final book and i cant wait to see where avery's story goes. i think the mystery of avery and her mother was amazing to see and uncover because it was so nice to see a mystery like that unravel. i will say the only thing i didn't really like was how the entire puzzle/game ended. (i'm trying really hard to not put any spoilers lol)

would i reread this series? probably, but we will find out after reading the final book
would i recommend this series? absolutely
do i kinda see some parts of me in avery? a little and i don't know whether to be ok with that or be scared of it

again i would 100% recommend. its probably going to be my favorite series of 2023
