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.
I feel like I'm always making this point (and, as always, it applies only to the proof as I haven't seen the finished product) but it's especially important in this kind of book; recaps. This book is full of mysteries and puzzles and references to things that happened in the first book, and a refresher would really have been nice.
Even without one, though, this is a great read. It took me a while to sort out which brother was which again, but that's a recurrent theme with me, and they do have differences. This book leaned a bit more heavily on the politics of being rich than the last one did, and I found it all interesting. Although the puzzles seem to mostly be solved by the end, goodreads says there's a third book coming, so obviously we've missed something, or Avery has, and a new puzzle will emerge shortly.
This is definitely a book you need to concentrate on, and I recommend reading the two together or at least skimming the first ... don't start reading with this one ... but if you enjoy mysteries, twists and slightly promiscuous people (no judgement, a strictly descriptive word) this is the read for you. Also Max is amazing and I love her. I can't wait for the CW to pick this up to make a series out of...
