The Hawthorne Legacy

LoveReading4Kids Says

With an almighty bombshell dropped at the end of The Inheritance Games, Jennifer Lynn Barnes set the stage exquisitely for The Hawthorne Legacy, the second book in an exhilarating series that’ll satisfy a huge range of reader types — from romance addicts, to fans of rip-roaring mysteries. What’s more, though laced with tightly-crafted, complex plot twists, The Inheritance Games series is written in an immediately engaging style that’ll grip even the most reluctant of readers.

“If there’s one thing I’d learned about Tobias Hawthorne, it was that he was capable of orchestrating nearly anything, manipulating nearly anyone. He’d loved puzzles and riddles and games”. So declares Avery near the opening of this second book in the series, and it’s fair to say manipulation and a sense of orchestration ripples through this page-turning sequel, along with heightening intrigue around its well-crafted cast of characters, not least Jameson and Grayson Hawthorne.

Though the late Tobias’ last game and trail of clues had led Avery and the bros to believe she’d inherited his fortune for one set of reasons, it seems that wasn’t the whole truth, and as Avery is caught in a confusing tug-of-war pull between two of the brothers, she realises there’s more at stake than money.

By turns undulant with intrigue and all-out explosive, the secrets revealed at the end of The Hawthorne Legacy will have readers reaching for book three pronto.
