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 ticks 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 soon becomes clear that there is one last puzzle to solve, and Avery and the Hawthorne 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 at stake—and there is nothing more Hawthorne than winning.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I was right about the last book being build up for this one. Don't wanna give anything away but was very satisfied with the ending and everything came together and made sense. EXCITED about the next book that she announced?!! Obsessed.
i first picked up this series on holiday as a poolside read... suffice to say, i got hooked from book one!!! since then, i've been waiting for the finale and i am so so glad now it's out!
i didn't go into the series knowing what to expect, having heard they were good but nothing about the actual story or changers, but i was surprised and elated that these books focused on mystery, figuring out who you are, family, friends, and love in its many many forms (not romance alone!). and the final gambit felt like a brilliant and appropriate conclusion to it all
— (if i had to criticise, do i wish we had more time seeing some of the relationships develop... nash and libby, avery and nash and ALL the hawthornes together, avery and toby...? absolutely. but this comes from a place of love for the characters and more curiosity about their worlds and lives. i couldve kept reading for hours getting to see the characters together, the brothers, the love triangle, avery and toby, but i was still content with the ending to the story we got)
the mystery, riddles, and games kept me hooked the whole way through - always thinking could there be more, what would it all mean, could i win the game before the book even got there? and the fact the romance in the series didn't overpower that made me happier than i can say... YES, i have both loved (and hated..) the love triangle, stolen moments, and growing relationships the whole way through but i value greatly the fact this didn't become the central theme for the final book and that we truly focused on solving the mystery and winning the game avery's way!!!! the final gambit left me wanting and wondering throughout and beaming by the end!!!
for anyone looking for a light but engaging read, one you might not even know you're looking for, i'd 100% recommend these books!!!
I liked the first book just fine, but the fact that this is going to be a trilogy is making me hate the series.
