The Review
The Title/Cover Draw:
- The cover is super interesting to me with all the items on it. Plus the synopsis- give me a treasure hunt in a young adult book and I am there.
What I liked:
- It was fast paced and well written. I couldn’t put it down because I just wanted to keep reading to the end.
What I didn’t like:
- Sometimes I really wanted to know more about the boys and their thoughts.
What kept me reading:
- UH EVERYTHING!
The Characters:
- Each boy had their own distinct personality to make it easy to keep them straight. Avery was a great, smart, cool chick.
The Ending:
- One mystery down and the next book is set up nicely. I really can’t wait for book 2.
Consider if you like:
- Truly Devious series.
All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Small Summary:
A Cinderella story with deadly stakes and thrilling twists, perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying and Knives Out.
Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why–or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man’s touch–and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes.
Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a con-woman, and he’s determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather’s last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.
