Hella scary once again. I was very confused and thought I guessed some twists and turns out I didn’t. Kept me on my toes.

This series is the definition of curve ball and somehow it always makes sense. There is no solving these books in advance. You, the reader, are definitely just along for the whirlwind ride, and yet they always keep me feeling engaged. 
It takes forever to get to an answer but the pacing is done so well that the book never feels slow.
Once again, Jennifer Lynn Barnes has earned a gold star for dialogue. Every quip had me smiling. Every heartfelt confession tugged at my heart. 
I don't know how the characters of Hawthorne House can be so mysterious and so loveable at the same time, but every one of them is thoroughly enjoyable.
Even though the story felt like it would have to leave loose ends, Barnes managed to wrap every mystery in a satisfying bow.
The plot may not be complex and the characters may not be the deepest you'll ever read, but I completely enjoyed every page of The Hawthorne Legacy and can't wait to dive in to book 3.

I love this series! I love riddles and puzzles so this series is perfect for me! I enjoye  this book just as much as I enjoyed the first book. Avery continues to solve the Mysteries of the Hawthorne family in this 2nd book in the series. The four Hawthorne Brothers are right there with her.

Personally I thought this book was better then the Inheritance Games.
It was easier to follow along with the characters as we had already met them in the previous book and had gotten to know them. This made it quicker to get into the book. 
Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ writing has definitely improved from her first book. The writing is more developed and detailed, making the book flow more smoothly.
The plot was brilliantly thought out. It was fast paced and intense, with twists and turns throughout the book.
The family tree is quite complicated. I really had to think about who was related to who and how to keep up with the plot.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would defo recommend to read it!
