Rereading this was literally so so fun!! 🤭🤭❤❤ Loved this series the first time round, so I had such a great time revisiting these characters and this story 🥰 I'd honestly completely forgotten the mystery, so some of the twists actually surprised me on the second time round too!! 🤭😂 So yeah, this series is amazing and deserves all the hype 💖💖 if you haven’t started this series yet…well besties, this is definitely your sign🤭the first word that comes to mind when i think of this book: addicting. absolutely addicting. if i were able to…i would’ve finished this book in less than a day for sure. Hate me, if you can, for all the reasons I deserve. But don't hate me for leaving while you sleep. I knew you wouldn't let me go, and I cannot bear to say good-bye." I had no idea what the plot was going into this book. Then when I began reading the book, I was like “wait- is there even a plot?” So confused. Then I eventually got around to reading the blurb thingy, and I was like [say in extremely dull tone] “oh.” I judged this book by the title, and I was expecting the characters to have to play a riddle and puzzle game to win the inheritance Tobias Hawthorn left behind. Which definitely would have been more interesting than *waves hands around in the air* whatever this was.

The sister is named Libby and I was reading this on Libby and I was laughing out loud like half the time. Okay so since I really loved the story and plot line I was expecting a few plot twist like the last time during the their act of the book. Tobias left his wedding ring to Zara in his will, so the teens secretly search her suite to find it. They are caught by Zara, who tells them she will let them look at the ring for five minutes if they give her five million dollars. Instead, they ask Nan, the Hawthorne brothers’ great-grandmother, if she will let them have Tobias’ dead wife’s wedding ring to offer Zara in trade. Nan agrees. Avery notices both rings have numerical inscriptions on them. The teens find out the numbers are coordinates that point to another of Tobias’ vacation homes, this one in Costa Rica.

I was hesitant with him being a total asshole. But I get it: he wanted to protect his family. I wanted to beat the shit out of him on the first chapters... And then, I was like "he's hot" and started to questioning myself about this fact. However, he, as his brothers and Avery, felt bland. Like, c'mon, dude, have a little more of personality. His lasts scenes with Avery, the romantic ones, were so random for me. One moment he was saying "stay away from my family" and the next one he was saying "I'm going to protect you". LIKE WHAT, HOW?? Traps upon traps . . . and riddles upon riddles.Yes! Except, no. The thing is, if you're going to promise me puzzles and riddles, you'd better deliver. And The Inheritance Games fell way short. CAN YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND WHY I’M HAVING A HARD TIME CHOOSING!? i wanted to add a second jameson and avery scene, but i’ll let y’all read that for yourselves😉also when jameson and grayson would call avery by her first name…why did that have me screaming😭😂 I still can't get over that Avery just randomly got called to inherit a billionaire's fortune?? How awesome is that? You don't even know said billionaire and have never come across anyone close to them and yet you get all the money that was originally all supposed to go to his grandsons???

I was team averygrayson from book one and while I don’t necessarily feel the same way right now, it has everything to do with the way Avery and Jameson work better together as a couple, than I think Avery and Grayson ever could. I couldn’t see it in book one but it was pretty evident in book two.Sometimes authors come up with the plot as they go on with the story but it was clear how everything was thought through and it was amazing. I really liked Avery as a character. She was genuinely likeable and smart, and reading from her point of view was really enjoyable! However, despite being a great heroine, she is by no means the star of the show. Nope, that's definitely the Hawthorne grandsons themselves.😏🤭 His four grandsons and their mother are understandably puzzled by the whole turn of events. Is Avery possibly a con-woman of some sort, come to steal their vast fortune? okay here it goes. the romance. yes this is what i want to talk about. i have a problem with how jennifer wrote the love triangle. if everything was spaced out it wouldve been a lot better but like our girl avery was having boy problems so all the real problem had to be put on hold for little miss heiress

The Hawthorne Legacy begins one week after The Inheritance Games finishes. Avery Grambs and Jameson Hawthorne are talking in the tunnels underneath Hawthorne House. Frustrated they have not been able to solve the mystery of Toby Hawthorne, the youngest son of Tobias Hawthorne, Sr. He is believed to have died twenty years ago after a tragic vacation to his private island with friends. The bodies of Toby’s friends were found; his was not. please be on the lookout for bruna🫣my bae is gonna be mad at me and expect there to be chaos😳shei bb protect me while i sleep. my angel sel, make sure they don’t kill each other in the comments🤗 I know a lot people found THL to be super boring and no plot progression whatsoever but honestly I absolutely adored everything in this book. This is the most invested I've been for a book in literally over 3 months. The mystery was so addicting and the tension !! I'm in love and now cannot stop thinking about this book so THANK YOU JLB <33

Firstly, the characters. This book was from the point of view of Avery Grambs, a teenage girl who suddenly inherited an enormous fortune from billionaire Tobias Hawthorne, a guy she'd never met. His will said that, for her to get the money, she had to move into Hawthorne House, the sprawling, mystery-filled home of the wealthy Hawthorne family. Once she's moved in, she teams up with the handsome grandsons of Tobias Hawthorne to solve the mystery of why she inherited that money. Hawthorne House is a sprawling mansion of hidden passageways and dark secrets. The more time Avery spends there, the more she becomes convinced that the will, the letter she received alongside it, and the house are all clues to something bigger; that Tobias Hawthorne is playing a game from beyond the grave. The kink is that Tobias had a pretty big family that he has snubbed with his surprise bequeathment to Avery. Comparisons to Knives Out were pretty accurate, though that says nothing about all the puzzles, riddles, and pretty guys that make The Inheritance Games virtually unputdownable. I don't care that that one twist was obvious-- everything about the journey of this book was delicious! The end of the book left me "???" because I had right one of my theories: Toby is alive. But, Toby being Harry was something that came out of the blue, why? Oh, because we didn't have any clue about it! I can't think of any clue that links Harry with being Toby, at all. My two theories for this (in the second book) is that he escaped to that fire to become a "regular" guy, or that he had a plan with his father, Tobias, I don't know to this point. This was really messy.

This rags-to-riches inheritance mystery offers Readers a lot of riddles, a lot of intrigue and a lot of romantic drama. It's like a tiny bit The Princess Diaries meets a lot of Knives Out. the amount of times the narrator repeats lines of dialogue verbatim in her head did in fact give me a migraine. I didn't feel any connection between Avery and Jameson, nor Avery and Grayson. I don't ship them because I don't think that they have chemistry or a spark. One moment, he's threatening Avery and the next one he's pinning for her. How did this happen? I was so confused by this. And I still am. The same guys who were "in love" with Emily are falling for Avery... Seriously? I'm not a big fan of love triangles... I'm not a fan of that trope. Period. Even more when they're not well developed and it's clear as day with whom the mc will end up with. It seemed like Jameson was pushing himself away from Avery just to give Grayson some space to make his "move", which was ridiculous and illogical. Avery was just a pawn. There you go! That’s what happened in The Hawthorne Legacy . We hope youenjoyed this The Hawthorne Legacy summary with spoilers.While Toby distracts Sheffield, Avery is able to loosen her restraints. Mellie shoots and kills Sheffield.
