The Hawthorne Legacy
The Hawthorne Legacy | Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Intrigue, riches, and romance abound in this thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Inheritance Games perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson. The Inheritance Games ended with a bombshell, and now heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold the answers to all of her questions - including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger, rather than to his own daughters or grandsons. Thanks to a DNA test, Avery knows that she's not a Hawthorne by blood, but clues pile up hinting at a deeper connection to the family than she had ever imagined. As the mystery grows and the plot thickens, Grayson and Jameson, the enigmatic and magnetic Hawthorne grandsons, continue to pull Avery in different directions. And there are threats lurking around every corner, as adversaries emerge who will stop at nothing to see Avery out of the picture - by any means necessary. With nonstop action, aspirational jet-setting, family intrigue, swoonworthy romance, and billions of dollars hanging in the balance, The Hawthorne Legacy will thrill Jennifer Lynn Barnes fans and new readers alike.

This sequel is a fast read. Each chapter is a cliffhanger and can't stop.

Avery and the boys delve more into the mysteries and riddles left behind by “the old man” and his son, Toby. It was a good read and tied up a lot of loose ends from the last installment while still leaving puzzles to solve later on. The love triangle is starting to annoy me a bit though, so hopefully Avery makes a decision soon. Overall, this book was a nice sequel and I‘m glad that I have the next book so that I can continue the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this series. I don't usually read sequels, but I'm glad I've got all three books, so I can just keep reading. I'm rooting for Avery, and I'm glad she's ready to take charge.

Read4life The fourth book came out late last year. 🤓 9mo

Book 2, YA...meh. Same story different plot. I liked it enough to finish it, but the first was better. This felt redundant.

This is about on par with the first one for me — kinda ‘meh.‘ It has lost that initial ‘Scooby Doo shine‘ that made the first installment fun. Part of me is interested to read the third book, but I‘ve been reading it with my daughter, and if she were to want to move onto something different I wouldn‘t be heartbroken.

My goodness has this gotten me hooked. As a new mystery emerges, you learn more about the Hawthorne boys, you see passed the barriers that they had created to find these beautiful, painful characters. I could never choose my favourite brother, they all officially occupy a place on my comfort character list. This mystery with undertones of romance is beyond any praise I could give it. I am in love.

What a great sequel!! The mystery continues around Avery and her inheritance, and the secrets just keep unveiling themselves. I really hope Avery figures out what (…WHO) she wants in the next book bc the love triangle plot is getting a bit tacky, but that‘s my only complaint about the whole book. Can‘t wait for the next one with @KateReadsYA 😁😁

KateReadsYA Yessss. I've come to learn I am just not a love triangle trope kinda girly. 1y
BooksNBowls @KateReadsYA yeah like it was fine when she was just pining after them, but you can‘t kiss them both!!! 1y
KateReadsYA @BooksNBowls Yeah, she isn't thinking of the future. Like how awkward if she finally chooses one and has to be in the family knowing she made a move on both brothers. 🫣 1y
BooksNBowls @KateReadsYA plus knowing the whole Emily story I would be avoiding that situation at all costs 😳 1y

Last book of 2022. Started and finished on New Year's Eve! It's been a long time since I've been able to read a whole book in one day. I needed that break.

Hope everyone had a great New Years and here's to a wonderful 2023! 🎉

This YA series is ridiculously good fun. Which isn‘t to say it isn‘t completely over the top, implausible, & occasionally so out there it leaves you shaking your head because it is. It‘s also compulsively readable & a great escape that will have you turning pages as quickly as you can to keep up with all the action. So yeah, I enjoyed this puzzle filled mystery as much as the first & am diving right into the third book. Seriously fun reading.

Bibliomania I agree! So addictive. They were recommended to me by a school librarian and I've devoured them; the first and last books I literally couldn't put down!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fast-paced,mysterious, more puzzles to solve, character development, thrilling plot twists

Avery‘s story is continuing, the bomb-shell ending from the previous instalment was continued in this second-part and over the course of the story all the characters had instances when their were turned upside down.Touching story about finding a family without being blood-related , Avery‘s “revenge” will it succeed?

I enjoyed this more than the 1st!! I wholly believe it is because you become more in touch with the main characters, the surrounding characters are still there, but not as strong of a presence. #Scarathlon2022 #TeamSlaughter #Spookoween #31by31 @Clwojick @TheSpineView @Catsandbooks

Main characters were likable and I even liked romance in this book. But there were still too many secondary characters that we knew almost nothing about.

I liked mysteries and puzzles in this one, but there were so many twists that it made everything a little hard to follow.

I liked this one more than the first one, this had action from the first pages and was easier to read.

Look. These aren't great. The love triangle is AWFUL. But if you've ever read a petty drama Facebook post and all 300 comments for the juice without ever getting involved-- that's this in a book. At an intellectual level, these are meh. The speed I read them at... well. I NEED the juice. I'll likely get the third immediately just to answer questions and be thoroughly annoyed at the romance triangle end.

This series has basically turned into a soap opera- amnesia and all- but I‘m not mad. I mean, this book was still really good. But it took me a book and a half to realize there was a love triangle. I don‘t know if that‘s me being oblivious or if it‘s just not been written prominently enough. I also feel like it‘d be better if Avery‘s relationship with the boys was platonic, not romantic, but hey I‘ll read them all either way. 5⭐️

This book was PHENOMENAL. The riddles, the plot twists, the characters, everything. I‘ve already re-read it twice after finishing it a few weeks ago. I absolutely loved the first book too, but the plot and ending of that one pales in comparison to this one. I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys hard to guess mystery/riddle books with a love triangle element and lovable characters.
