Honestly didn't know where this book was going after the trilogy left things off in a nice place. But these Hawthorne brothers just have more and more going on.

I have to say though I enjoyed diving in with Grayson and Jameson this time and leaving Avery as a side character. These boys have got their own stories to tell. That being said, this could have easily been two different books. At first the switching was taking a while to get used to but then sunk into a groove.

I was thinking the only reason they would be interwined would be
because they somehow were connected but that was wrong.
On top of that, they still left a few questions up in the air...

First off, what is Eve planning? I guess she just wants some attention because she's jealous of Avery but like what's her game? 

Second of all, who is the mysterious woman calling Grayson and what will we find out about that? 

Oh! And Jameson revealing his grandmother is alive?! Not what I was expecting for his big secret in Prague but they have to tell us more.


I suppose these things will be answered in the next book - because ya know there's going to be another one. I am just wondering how long this goes on. Not that I'm complaining, I'm enjoying the series but I hope it doesn't become one of those things that keeps going just because there is money to be made. Because even I know there's only so far this mystery and puzzle thing can be taken...
