The Hawthorne Legacy
by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 stars
The Hawthorne Legacy is the sequel to The Inheritance Games and starts directly after the end of the first book where Avery found out why she was brought into the will and inherited the Hawthorne fortune.
When I first read The Inheritance Games last year I fell in love with the prose, the characters and all the mystery and puzzles. As someone who loves puzzles, I enjoy them being written in such a clever way into the story. Trying to figure the solutions out myself before they’re revealed truly is a delight!
I’m having a bit of a déjà vu reading this book though. Last year I finished The Inheritance Games and I did not know it was going to get a sequel. Imagine my shock when I finished that book and the very last page said: “Look out for the sequel coming Autumn 2021”. I finally got my hands on the sequel and just when I finished that book, I truly believed that the duology was done. Then came the bomb of the cover reveal for the third…
If you enjoyed The Inheritance Games, you’ll really enjoy this book. It is much of the same, as it is fast-paced, full of mystery and puzzles Avery and the boys try to solve and set in the same house. The way these books are written is honestly addicting. You can’t stop reading and I kept turning page on page just to find out what the solution really was or which puzzles they were going to get next.
Avery gets a bit surer of herself in this book. Still not used to the amounts of money she inherited and everything that comes with it. I liked how she became less dependent on the rest. The Hawthorne boys are all a bit the same as in the first book, so not much character growth there. Still, they were super fun characters with really fitted the story and all in their own way.
The love triangle was still present unfortunately, but it was a bit less potent in comparison to the first book. Also, Avery finally choses one of the boys so with the knowledge a third book is coming the love triangle is out of the window!
The twists and reveals in this book, much like the first, completely blew my mind! Some things I predicted, believed were true and in the end, I was still proven wrong! Those kinds of twists I enjoy the most! Also, that ending…
Overall, I really loved reading this fun, fast-paced, mystery book! I can’t wait to see what the final book in the series will bring next year!
