The Inheritance Games Book 4: The Brothers Hawthorne by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

 

The Inheritance Games Book 4

Four brothers. Two missions. One explosive read. Jennifer Lynn Barnes returns to the world of her #1 bestselling Inheritance Games trilogy, and the stakes have never been higher.  

 

Grayson Hawthorne was raised as the heir apparent to his billionaire grandfather, taught from the cradle to put family first. Now the great Tobias Hawthorne is dead and his family disinherited, but some lessons linger. When Grayson’s half-sisters find themselves in trouble, he swoops in to do what he does best: take care of the problem—efficiently, effectively, mercilessly. And without getting bogged down in emotional entanglements.

 

Jameson Hawthorne is a risk-taker, a sensation-seeker, a player of games. When his mysterious father appears and asks for a favor, Jameson can’t resist the challenge. Now he must infiltrate London’s most exclusive underground gambling club, which caters to the rich, the powerful, and the aristocratic, and win an impossible game of greatest stakes. Luckily, Jameson Hawthorne lives for impossible.

 

Drawn into twisted games on opposite sides of the globe, Grayson and Jameson—with the help of their brothers and the girl who inherited their grandfather’s fortune—must dig deep to decide who they want to be and what each of them will sacrifice to win.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

This author is my favorite when it comes to mysteries. The puzzles and mind games are also so, so good. You are constantly trying to figure out the answer to the riddles alongside the characters. This series in particular is one of my favorites. A bit of time has passed from the last book and this time we have two missions going on told between Jameson and Grayson. Grayson finds himself coming to the aid of his half-sisters who don’t know him and he only learned about when he learned about his father. Family is everything to Grayson and he may not let himself get close to them but he can’t help but try and help them. But things are a lot more complicated than he realized and there are some clues and games going on with his dead father’s other family. Meanwhile, Jameson finds himself coming face to face with his own father for the first time. And soon him and Avery land themselves in London’s underground gambling club, known to only the rich and powerful. With a whole new set of rules and games, it’s the perfect place for Jameson and Avery. But with it also comes their own sets of dangers and secrets. And Jameson is set to prove himself to everyone and himself. Both of their stories were so intriguing. I couldn’t tell who I wanted to know more about. There was so much going on and it was a great in between for what is coming next in this series. I also loved being in Jameson and Grayson’s heads. We only got glimpses of them in bonus content, but seeing how their minds work was really something. A really great series and I cannot wait for more!
