“The Hawthorne Legacy” occurs right after the events of “The Inheritance Games,” with a new mystery to solve and even higher risks at stake. While I liked the first book more, the Hawthorne Legacy was a successful follow up to an ongoing trilogy.
One thing I appreciated was the character development of Avery, as she really embodied a smart and lovable character. Her character arc paired with the short chapters and engaging mystery created a fun read, which helped me escape reality for a few hours.
However, the love triangle kind of upset me at times, and a few plot points were not my favorite. But all in all, I will be picking up the last book when it comes out, and suggest that you do as well.

This book is just as addictive and fast paced as its predecessor!
I did have my doubts before reading as I saw that a lot of people didn’t enjoy this sequel and also I remember feeling like the first book worked well as a standalone. However, it wasn’t long before new twists started unravelling around Avery and her Hawthorne boys that I was hooked back in and determined to stay for the whole ride.
I didn’t do a reread of The Inheritance Games beforehand but I felt like the overarching storyline was a lot more interesting to follow in this one than the first book. I understand why so many people didn’t enjoy the romance side of things but I personally was so absorbed by the central mystery and the reveals that I wasn’t too bothered by it. Also I like both Jameson and Grayson so…
One thing I do pretty much agree with other people is why on earth is there another book? Again I don’t see the need to continue the story and this time round there isn’t really much for a third book to take off from.. Though with how ingenious and entertaining all the puzzles and clue hunting are I’m probably going to end up picking up the third book anyways.
Final Rating – 4.5/5 Stars
