Another intriguing group of puzzles provided by the late Tobias Hawthorne. I love Jennifer Lynn Barnes style of writing. She is able to keep you engaged throughout the story and it makes you want to try and figure out the puzzles ahead of the characters.

Can't wait to read the next two books in the series. (

En la emocionante secuela del bestseller global Una herencia en juego, la riqueza, las intrigas y los romances son claves para intentar resolver los múltiples enigmas. Perfecto para fans de Karen McManus.
UN JUEGO LETAL. UN ENIGMA POR RESOLVER. UNA FORTUNA EN JUEGO.
Un paso adelante.

Avery pensó que resolver el acertijo que le puso el multimillonario Tobias Hawthorne revelaría por qué le dejó a ella, una completa desconocida, toda su fortuna.
Dos pasos atrás.
Pero, a medida que las pistas crípticas dan un giro inesperado y los atractivos y enigmáticos nietos de Hawthorne continúan atrayéndola en diferentes direcciones, Avery no puede evitar preguntarse en quién puede confiar realmente.

¿Qué sucede cuando la verdad esconde más secretos?

Pronto, Avery se da cuenta de que este juego no se trata solo de dinero y poder: ahora está jugando por su vida. (

The Hawthorne Legacy
Jennifer Lynn Barnes
2.5 Stars
Note: Book 1 I rated 4 Stars

The Hawthorne Legacy is the second novel in the Inheritance Games trilogy. It is a YA book recommended for ages 14-18 years old.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first. It followed the same format of follow a bunch of clues to figure out what was going on which I expected and was reasonably entertaining. There is, however, A LOT of invisible ink used which gets a bit annoying.

For the amount of bombshells there were, I feel like they could have been spread out a little more. Usually one at the end will hook me in to reading the next novel but there were so many that it is now out of control and not feasible to resolve everything in the final novel.

I will read the third novel but purely just to complete to trilogy, not because I particularly want to. (

I had enjoyed The Inheritance Games and similarly found this to be an intriguing follow-on young adult mystery adventure. (

I thought it was very good. The mystery kept me intrigued all the way through and I though the ending was better than the first book. 9/10 - October 15, 2023 (
