Can't Wait Wednesday #20 - The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

 

Happy Wednesday! There are so many books that are being released this year, it's been hard keeping track of what book comes out when! Last Friday, I shared my review for The Inheritance Games, today I'm keeping in trend with the series and decided to dedicate today's Can't Wait Wednesday to the second book in the series The Hawthornes Legacy! If you're not familiar with Can’t Wait Wednesday, this is a bookish meme hosted by Tressa over at Wishful Endings that spotlights upcoming release books that we're excited for.

About the Book:
Title: The Hawthorne Legacy
Author: Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Release Date: September 7th, 2021
Genre: Mystery
Pages: 400

Summary:
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, two of 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.


After reading The Inheritance Games, I could not believe how the book had ended. The pieces of the whole story started being pieced together and soon all of the dots were connected and I was pleasantly surprised that there was going to be a second book. With the minor cliffhanger from book 1, the description that has given me a so many more questions than answer, and the love triangle that I see happening for Avery; I'm so excited for The Hawthorne Legacy! I cannot wait to read it!
