The side characters, like Libby, Nash, Max, Xander, and Oron were perfect. I wish we had more of Xander as he’s sidelined a lot and he’s such a cinnamon roll but alas. They aren’t fully developed but I truly enjoy how they still are all unique and have their own separate personalities. It’s fun to have a larger cast. Am I happy with how that happened? No. I don't want to elaborate on that further cause it will spoil.

PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Final_Gambit_-_Jennifer_Lynn_Barnes.pdf, The_Final_Gambit_-_Jennifer_Lynn_Barnes.epub In the first book the romance wasn’t really there for me. It annoyed me that Avery was so insta-love with both Jameson and Grayson and I didn’t really like either one of them in the end of Inheritance Games. By book two I was team Jameson. I have loved the growth of his character through the series and I love him and Avery together. This is the book where I think the author was finally able to bring their feelings through and make it good. The thing I loved most in this book is Avery was not so dependent on the Hawthorn brothers to follow her leads. She took initiative and went off on her own instead of waiting around for one of them to pay her attention. I have been waiting 3 books for this Avery and loved it.and Libby- I liked how Nash had more to contribute, especially his relationship with Avery and of course Libby. now jameson... actually can't believe im saying this considering how much I LOVED him but what in the actual hell was up with him?? my god the way he infuriated me. GRAYSON MY FAVOURITE BROTHER WOW. He was so sidelined in this book for absolutely no reason and I despise that fact. He clearly is a better match for Avery and all around a much better character. Plus the B&N exclusive chapters from his POV????????? HE DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER. Currently sobbing because he truly deserves the world and I adore him. also he taught Avery how to use a long sword guys HE TAUGHT HER HOW TO SWORD FIGHT C’MON. Superior ship from that scene alone.

The Brothers Hawthorne is a standalone title set following the events of the Inheritance Games series and will be published under the Penguin imprint in August 2023 alongside the US in a global English-language launch. Close your eyes. Picture yourself standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The wind is whipping in your hair. the sun is setting. You long, body and soul, for one thing. one person. You hear footsteps behind you. You turn. Who’s there?” it’s oren's job to make sure i stay safe." i didn't point out that under other circumstances, grayson would have considered that his job, too. est unus ex nobis. nos defendat eius. There's also a bit of a love triangle happening. The Hawthorne family is full of handsome and charming young men, such a plus for our Avery.

Games

long story short, i wish this book didn’t have romance, or at the very least a love triangle where it wasn’t necessary. focusing on the mystery would’ve made me less annoyed at this book. I LOVE his interactions with his brothers and Avery- ESPECIALLY Avery- and I love how we get to see a bit of his cold demeanour stripped away in the book. AAAAAHHHHH he’s just amazing. #TeamGrayson FOR LIFE!! 👊

Grayson Hawthorne was arrogant enough to consider himself bulletproof—and honorable enough to see a promise through to its end.” ~ 😏😏 Avery calls Vincent Blake and tells him she knows who he is. He tells her he wants to know what really happened to his son, Liam. He wants Avery to bring him Liam’s remains. The clues in the poem Toby wrote on his walls lead Avery to the chapel at Hawthorne House. On the chapel’s altar, she discovers an inscription that leads her to a puzzle which opens the altar to reveal a hollowed-out space big enough to store a body. The area holds only an empty shroud, a USB drive, and a message in Toby’s handwriting: I know what you did, Father. Toby broke my heart. I mean sure he had his reasons as a father and blah blah but come on. Sometimes kids deserve to die idc🤚🏻Avery and her friends go through the List Oren keeps of people who were/are possible threats to Tobias Hawthorne and his legacy. In the files, they find many ways Tobias screwed people over to get ahead. Avery is disconcerted when she discovers Eve secretly taking pictures of one of the files. She later discovers it’s a file on Sheffield Grayson (Grayson’s father). A lot of the stuff that happened in the last few chapters were pretty random and also unrealistic. Sometimes, some of the things that happened felt way too convenient. I wasn’t exactly on the edge of my seat like I was for book one. Then there’s also the issue of how there were way too many plot points in this book to begin with. Yes, most of the questions from book one are answered in this one but there was an awful lot of new stuff being added and instead of majorly building on what we already had, we got a lot of additional content. I loved Avery in the first book and I loved her even more here like !! the character development !! She goes through some growth by the end of the book and just sfsdfsdfs I loved it. Still really jealous that she has the attention of both Grayson and Jameson😭 Oh and also how she can literally say "Fine, you can take one of my planes." Not jealous about the downsides of being a billionaire though.

It will be followed by two further titles, yet to be announced, that will also feature the Hawthornes, Avery Grambs and their broadening circle of friends and enemies.been team grayson since the minute my king stepped into that principal's office. i still love u jameson <3 Also I really wonder about that quote above. I feel like by the end of this series Avery will no longer be a billionaire in some way, especially with how many times she kept saying that "this life isn't meant for me" ... foreshadowing methinks. 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.
