Hook: In the past few weeks, Avery’s whole life flipped on its head. She went from living poorly in NYC, to inheriting billions. Now, Avery continues unraveling Tobias Hawthorne’s concluding challenge, and trying to answer the monumental question: Why her? She had never even met, or even heard of, him. She will do anything for answers, including dedicating hours to working through mysteries, secrets, and puzzles. But who can she truly trust? Jameson and Grayson seem trustworthy, but contradict one another on what the right path for her is. Ultimately, will this whole puzzle result with Avery in the same condition as Tobias Hawthorne- Dead?

Rating: 8.5/10

I would obviously recommend this book


Review: Wow. This book is clearly a Jennifer Lynn Barnes book. I really enjoyed reading this. The plot was definitely in-depth enough, filled with puzzles and riddles. There was a bunch of family drama, but not in the annoying and overwhelming way. Again, there were little things that ideally in my opinion should be slightly different, but that’s being really picky. I loved Avery and the other side characters and their interactions. Nothing felt too cheesy to me, but I see how small parts of the book could be seen that way. Overall, this was a fabulous book that I really enjoyed.
