What Amazon says:
To inherit billions, all Avery Kylie Grambs has to do is survive a few more weeks living in Hawthorne House. The paparazzi are dogging her every step. Financial pressures are building. Danger is a fact of life. And the only thing getting Avery through it all is the Hawthorne brothers. Her life is intertwined with theirs. She knows their secrets and they know her. But as the clock tickets down to the moment when Avery will become the richest teenager on the planet, trouble arrives in the form of a visitor who needs her help - and whose presence in Hawthorne House could change everything. It soons becomes clear that there is one last puzzle to solve, and Avery and the Hawthorn brothers are drawn into a dangerous game against an unknown and powerful player. Secrets upon secrets. Riddles upon riddles. In this game, there are hearts and lives as stake - and there is nothing more Hawthorn than winning.
This is the 3rd book in the Inheritence Game series. While I am still enjoying it, I found this book the weekest one so far I think Barnes was having a hard time advancing this story along. This one I found harder to follow - a lot of characters and a lot of knew family members made it is a bit convoluted. The puzzles and mystery were just as good as the past, but all the other stuff got a bit tiresome. And the love story is a bit bigger in this one. There are three more books in the series, but I think they are more off shoots than continuation, so I might take a break and come back to them later.
STars: 3.5
