Welcome to Litsy!

I love this series! Barnes does an amazing job of summarizing the past books enough so I don‘t feel lost reading it after a year long gap. I already preordered the next one today. The only thing I didn‘t like was that romance between Nash and Libby. The age gap was gross and weird, but I loved everything else! 5🌟

Also, I would totally reread this series from Xander‘s perspective:

As usual, the games/riddles/puzzles driving the story were fun and outrageous. My goal wasn't deciding if I was on Team Grayson or Team Jameson (neither) as it was just getting closure in this series; Barnes left some loose ends, probably for the next book to solve. I was hoping for more character-driven moments but in the end it felt like a hollow conclusion to the first book in this series.

This has been a very enjoyable series. Romantic suspense with puzzles and twists galore.

This series is fun.
1st book of the 2023 reading season in the books.

I can't say if I liked some character more than another because they all felt somehow so flat. There also were a way too many of them.

This wasn't really thrilling nor intriguing, more like boring and confusing. But the setting was awesome and I think I have liked it most in this series.

The ending was good and gave a really satisfying closure.

Just so good. So addictive. I'm short on time so that's all I'm going to say. They kept me up all night. Read Them! :-) 1. Inheritance Games 2. The Hawthorne Legacy 3. The Final Gambit

My daughter tells me this YA series is very popular on BookTok & I totally get it. Girl inherits billions from a man she‘s never met & has to live in the family mansion with the man‘s disgruntled family—including his 4 grandsons (3 of whom are around her age)—to get it…& the games begin. It‘s every bit as fun & over the top as the premise sounds with plenty of games & riddles & twists & turns to keep you guessing until the end. Super fun story.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

#seriesread2022 I‘m pretty satisfied with the ending. Avery comes into her inheritance and figures out who she is and who she wants to be. And I‘ve decided I‘m team Greyson!

Moving on to the third book in the series 📖👓🎧 #goodreads #goodreadsreadingchallenge2022 #ya #yabooks #thefinalgambit

This book was a big mixed bag. I felt like I was sort of rereading the previous two books, but I did love parts of the Eve storyline, the Queen's Gambit storyline, and the ending. But like I said it was SOO similar to the previous books, it felt a bit like lazy writing. I so wanted to love this book, but it was just good, not great. It was so like the others I had to double check I hadn't read it before, which I definitely didn't!

Updated my blog with the tagged book and the Netflix series The Midnight Club. I also updated the look and design of my blog a few weeks ago, just never announced it haha.

Thrilling conclusion to one of my favorite trilogies. So much fun!

I hope the final book is as awesome as the first two. Will be binging it this weekend to finish for book club at 10 am on Sunday.

This series kept me guessing and is just a lot of fun. It takes work to follow, but it's totally worth it. I had strong opinions about the characters. I was satisfied with the conclusion.

3½⭐ Pick-ish
JLB writes these stories with such intricate plots…and while I don‘t always care for characters or their actions necessarily, I do like her ingenious plots. Although, this third book in the series took the games/riddles to a whole new level. So much so, that I may have lost my way a little. All in all, this was a proper end to the series. If you loved the first two books in the series, then you should love this one too.

My sister recently got hooked on this series and, as someone who often struggles with trilogies, I was happy to be able to report that the end was satisfying. The love triangle was eye roll inducing but the puzzles and mysteries were still fresh and fun.

Sometimes I think series just aren‘t for me. They tend to drag on too long and I‘m always disappointed by the last book.

I think this series would have been better as a dulogy or a standalone. And it didn‘t need the love triangle, or the many times the main character thought of her love interests using their full names. But it did break me out of a slump and I finished a series.

A solid end to a fun YA mystery adventure. Though is definitely YA (down to some very standard YA tropes ugh love triangle), the mystery and puzzles are a lot of fun. These are not standalones, you definitely have to read in order, but the journey is fun and they are quick reads. 4⭐️

Thank you, @Andrew65 for hosting. I was able to finish my readathon TBR. It included my #DoubleSpin book, 2 books for #LittensLoveRomance and my third #Roll100 book for the month.

Just as fast paced, tightly plotted, and intriguing as the first two, Avery and the Hawthornes continue to crack the codes in this high risk and high stake thriller! The perfect conclusion to an awesome, smart trilogy! It's unfortunate that it had to end, but at least the end is satisfying!

I'm having pumpkin waffles for lunch today...because it's Friday and I'm an adult! 😸💕 Happy Friday, everyone!

now why am i on team grayson

I am currently reading (audio) the final gambit by jennifer Lynn Barnes & for the wolf by Hannah Whitten (for my #lmpbc read)

Here we go! My personal Most Anticipated Book of the entire year of 2022 begins. As Gordon Ramsay is fond of saying, in paraphrase: “My (Your) time starts…now!”

This was a satisfying end to an entertaining trilogy. I love every Hawthorne brother, and Avery fits right in to their quirky, eccentric family. Forget about the billions of dollars; I think the brothers are the real inheritance! Like the previous two books, this one is a mix of mystery, thriller, and comedy. Max, Libby, Rebecca and Thea balance out the guys. I loved every second of it and almost wish it read slower, but it is fast and fun!
