4.5/5 stars

General Description: We're back in the Hawthrone house, except this time, the mystery isn't about the grandfather. It's about the uncle that apparently died 20 years ago. Well, not Avery's uncle of course, because she's the unrelated heiress to the Hawthrone Empire.  Is she going to be a puzzle piece in this mystery, or will she be the one to use all of the Hawthrone brothers to find this lost uncle?

The good:
- I absolutely LOVED seeing more of Xander in this book. He's probably my favorite.
- I felt the mystery was twisty and shocking once again.
- the romance was definitely upped in this book, which was nice to see!
- I love the additional side characters that get more spotlight in this book, whether they were the good or the bad guys...

The loss of a half star:
- It's just TOO fast some times. I feel like I have to go back and re-read because so much is packed into parts. I definitely feel like this writing style lends to the mystery but it is overwhelming at time.

Overall: If you like YA mystery, this is a series I think you'd enjoy!
