Nice mystery / escape room style read. Short chapters worked well and kept the pace of the book nice and quick. I have to say I did work out a key part of the plot really early on but it didn't take away any of the enjoyment.

I would have enjoyed learning a bit more about the Hawthorn brothers as it feels like they all have interesting stories behind them. I also felt some parts of the story were kind of brushed over / rushed past when I had hoped for a bit more info.

Overall really enjoyable read and looking forward to picking up the next in the series.

This was a fun read, though having the love triangle between two emotionally distant brothers was tiring and very insta-lovey. Solving the puzzles was an interesting driver in the plot. I kind of saw the plot twist from a mile away though. These chapters are so short throughout that the book moved fast. I want answers so I’ll definitely read the next book, but I’m not in a hurry. The brothers all annoyed me a little bit lol.
