goodeyreads 's review for:
The Brothers Hawthorne
by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
slow-paced
A WEE BIT SLOW.

I was not as impressed by this as I had hyped myself for (and maybe that was my undoing???). I really enjoyed the first trilogy and thought we’d finally get some Grayson moments and instead I felt like that poor guy just kept getting beat down more and that we were all back at square one with the characters.
Some aspects of the mystery were intriguing, I loved seeing all of the brothers interact again. I am curious enough to read the next book and I did enjoy listening to this. While there was good, I’m overall a little perplexed (and cautious) at how the next book with further open these plot lines. I did like a few of the twists and betrayals.
And can we please give Grayson a dang break??!
Overall audience notes:
- YA Mystery
- Language: some strong
- Romance: Closed door
- Violence: moderate
- Trigger/Content Warnings: parental abandonment, brief mentions of cheating spouse, death of loved one recounted
