The Inheritance Games Book 2: The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

The Inheritance Games Book 2

Intrigue, riches, and romance abound in this thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Inheritance Games perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson.

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.

With nonstop action, aspirational jet-setting, family intrigue, swoonworthy romance, and billions of dollars hanging in the balance, The Hawthorne Legacy will thrill Jennifer Lynn Barnes fans and new readers alike.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

I don't know how Jennifer Lynn Barnes does it. Every single book I have read by her has captured me right from the beginning. Then I find myself not putting it down until the book is done. Absolutely amazing. Yet another fantastic mystery from this author. So many puzzles to solve and mysteries to unfold. You can guess and guess and just when you think you solved it, there is a twist that tells you otherwise. Brilliant. And I loved the first book in this series and couldn't wait to read this one and I was not disappointed. We pick up shortly where we left off. Avery's discovery at the very end of the book puts her and the Hawthorne boys in basically part two of the game their grandfather left them. Avery has to follow the clues to find the missing Hawthorne, someone she may have known from her past, and figure out what it all means. She wondered why she was picked to inherit and she may finally get her answers. On top of that, someone is once again after Avery and looking to harm her. Poor Avery never gets a break. I can't say too much without spoiling, but if you liked this previous book then this one won't disappoint you. The mysteries, puzzles, and secrets only get better. The plot twists even crazier. And I learned there is one more book after this!! And with so much revelations in this book, I can only wonder what can possibly be next for Avery, Grayson, Jameson, and Xander. Can't wait!
