The Hawthorne legacy

 Hi readers! If you follow me over on goodreads you know that I read this book a very long time ago and for some reason never sat down to write the review even if it was a very anticipated release. Anyways here we are now. I hope you enjoy it!

Book Title: The Hawthorne legacy

       Author: Jennifer Lynn Barnes

The Inheritance Games ended with a bombshell, and now heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold the answers to all of her questions - including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger, rather than to his own daughters or grandsons.

Thanks to a DNA test, Avery knows that she's not a Hawthorne by blood, but clues pile up hinting at a deeper connection to the family than she had ever imagined. As the mystery grows and the plot thickens, Grayson and Jameson, the enigmatic and magnetic Hawthorne grandsons, continue to pull Avery in different directions. And there are threats lurking around every corner, as adversaries emerge who will stop at nothing to see Avery out of the picture - by any means necessary.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Okay, the review took a bit long but its finally here and I have some thoughts and things to say.

It was great, like i did quite like it, I have to say that not as much as the first one but oh boy it was good.

There is something about both of the books that just keeps making you to turn the page over an over, there were mini cliff hangers at the end of almost every chapter and I just had to read the next one. Like the first book, the chapter were super sort and before you even notice you have already devour half of it.

The plot was great, the cliff hangers were amazing, the plot twist were everything, the romance, the romance not so much.

In the first book you are being introduced for the first time to all of the characters and you are invested into every single one of them but in this second one the romance between our main character and the boys felt a bit old. It just felt like they were stacked in the same place and don’t get me wrong, I loooove the romance interest and because of that I was a bit impatient for something really big to happen.

But the absolute rest of the story makes up for this tini tiny part. I looove the world of this book, the mystery cozy vibes are absolutely immaculate.

Over all I am happy with this read, even though the beginning was a bit slow and dragged for a bit too long, It was great. I did enjoyed the first one more but still I do recommend reading the second one! I mean after the end of The inheritance games you are not going to be able to step away from this next part of the story!
