This series is a great one to just escape the real world for a bit. Love the clever mysteries and reveals, though this second instalment was actually a bit too fast paced for me and I would've loved some time to sit with some of those revelations. The romance also isn't particularly noteworthy in my personal opinion.

SO messy. Most of the time it was so annoying and I felt like I started hating this story, but I'm glad it's over and the way it ended was enough for me to not want to continue the next book lol

Giving it 5 stars because it rly was better than the first book and I can look passed the way the story played out if only for the way love was described in the side romances.

This was almost a 5 star read for me, I really have no complaints. It took everything from the first book and made it even better solving a lot of the questions remaining and showing a side of the characters that you couldn’t see in the previous one. So far my favorite book from the series.

I loved the the book but i felt the part about
toby having a daughter, aka eve, was unnecessary, but she could play a part in the next book i guess.

Holy sh*t! I mean wow. I just finished The Hawthorne Legacy less than 5 minutes ago and my mind is still wrapping around what I just read. I honestly though I had the twists and turns figured out...I was wrong! All my guesses and hypothesis's were thrown out the window with my sanity. How does Barnes do this to me every time! All her books enrapture me, get my heart beating uncontrollably, and I can never put them down. 

I am very much looking forward to The Final Gambit. I have so many questions! I need to know more.

It was packed with more mystery and always had to insert a twist than the normal plot twists in history. Many side characters were introduced, and the characters from book 1 stayed true to their personalities. Although there's the frustration of the heroine's confusions and doubts, it showed readers that everything is not as it seems. This was good enough as a duology, but knowing it still has another installment is not so bad as well.
