Alright, what did I love about this book? Obviously, the characters because they’ve always been amazing, (Xander is the comic relief we all need in our lives). The writing is phenomenal as ever. I also absolutely loved how everything tied together. Jameson and Avery are definitely endgame. Don’t even get me started on that mother faxing amazing ending. I don’t even know what else to tell you except to go read this book and the whole entire series if you haven’t started it yet.
What did I not like? It was a little slow in the beginning and at times in the middle, but otherwise everything was just as fun as ever. Also, there were parts that were super predictable, but sometimes I feel like you just can’t help that.

To be completely honest, I just want to talk about the spoilers, so here we go.

Spoilers ahead.
Let me start with this, for all you Grayson shippers out there, I feel your pain. I really do. Grayson was an amazing character and he deserved better. But if we’re being honest here, Avery could’ve ended up with either one of them. Jameson or Grayson. She chose Jameson and stuck with that choice. She never came between the brothers once making her choice like Emily did. She didn’t let the love triangle continue (thank God). She chose Jameson, chose to love him, and stuck with him despite him always questioning whether or not she loved Grayson, too. They would’ve both made her happy, but in the end, she had to make a choice. I’m happy she stuck with it instead of stringing them both along.
Secondly, Eve was so see-through. Let me tell you that was probably the most predictable part about this book. Her affiliation with Vincent Blake was obvious from the start even though we didn’t know it was Vincent Blake at the time. The whole thing with the Blakes, though? I loved it. I just hated that Toby had to be used as collateral.

Last thing for the spoilers, I swear!! The ending. I mean, THE ENDING. It was beautiful. It was everything that I could’ve hoped for. It is what I want the world to see on a daily basis. When the money gets to a point where it’s not about money anymore, it’s about power, let it go. Avery let go of the power. She gave it all up except what she needed to maintain Hawthorne House and the people employed and living there. It was such an amazing and wholesome ending. This is what needed to happen. No one should ever be that powerful or have that much money. It isn’t necessary. Not to mention, all the power and money is what led Tobias Hawthorne to have hundreds of files of people he’s hurt in the past. Can you imagine? Hundreds of people whose lives you ruined? No thank you. Get rid of the money. Avery did exactly that. In doing that, she unknowingly got rid of the hold that Tobias had on the boys. Nash, Grayson, Jameson, and Xander no longer felt like they needed to prove themselves and that was a wonderful thing.
Overall, this book was everything I hoped it would be. I’m so glad I got it the day it came out and was able to finish it in less than two days. It was that good and Jennifer Lynn Barnes deserves all the praise that she gets for this series. I highly recommend it for anyone who hasn’t read it yet!
