They say to go out with a bang, and Jennifer Lynn Barnes understood the assignment. What an Ending?? I had my doubts, because I wondered what this book could possibly be about, but I was not disappointed in the least.
This book kept me on my toes, me and my book bestie kept coming up with the most far fetched theories about the kidnappers and never in a million years would I have been able to guess that plot twist
Also, Mr Hawthorne was one sick bastard, the reason he left everything to Avery, I kept thinking it was out of guilt and with good intentions, boy was I wrong. This shit blew my mind.
Anyway, let us move from the dead psychopath. Remember when I say I didn’t like Thea? Well I like her better than Eve that’s for sure. Grayson was such a dumb fool other that dead girl doppelgänger it was painful to watch. The secondhand embarrassment I got from reading his shenanigans scarred me for life.
How do you even trust a girl called EVE??? Haven’t your read the Bible? You should have known better young man! As always my boy Jameson didn’t waver, he was perfection from the beginning to the end, cementing the fact that he was the only right option since day one.
I cried a tiny bit over my baby Xander, once again like too many times in that book, Tobias Tattersall Hawthorne has proven to be a total nut job. But I’m glad Xander got reunited with his dad and that the man is as much of a weirdo as his offspring.
Anyhow I’m so proud of my queen Avery. The badassery that was showcased here? That’s a tale that should be passed down from generation to generation. THEY GOT SERVED. Her mind?? A jewel. I worship the ground she walks on. LONG LIVE THE HEIRESS.
I am so sad that I have to say goodbye to these characters, but everything good must eventually come to an end. It was a wild ride, one I absolutely do not regret getting on. Thank you Ms Barnes for an amazing adventure 🤍
