As Avery works through her relationships, the unfolding mystery carries its own set of revelations. The secrets around Tobias Hawthorne’s past spill into the present. Each riddle they solve leads to new discoveries, some shocking and others deeply personal. These events tests their trust, loyalty, and commitment to one another. Avery’s resourcefulness is put to the test as she connects the pieces of her life, love, and the inheritances that bind them.
When the final pieces fall into place, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Avery must confront the consequences of her choices. She stands to gain everything—or lose it all. As Avery steps into her destiny, the question remains: what price is she willing to pay for love and fortune?
I would give this book 5 stars because it has something in it for everyone. I would recommend it to anyone 12 or over because it’s a fun read especially for fans of Lauren Roberts, Holly Jackson and Stephanie Garber.
