Summary
Avery’s fortune， life， and loves are on the line in the game that everyone will be talking about。
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。

The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn BarnesOverall Rating: ★★★★★What did I like the best about this book？ It felt like I had had to wait for far too long to get this book into my hands。 This series is one of my all time favourite reads and this novel ended Avery's story SO SO WELL！ This book had everything that I loved from the first two and more。 My favourite part of the book was the ending， I， in all honesty， didn't see what she decided to do with the inheritance coming and the way she handled it The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn BarnesOverall Rating: ★★★★★What did I like the best about this book？ It felt like I had had to wait for far too long to get this book into my hands。 This series is one of my all time favourite reads and this novel ended Avery's story SO SO WELL！ This book had everything that I loved from the first two and more。 My favourite part of the book was the ending， I， in all honesty， didn't see what she decided to do with the inheritance coming and the way she handled it all just made me fall in love with this world and it's characters all over again。 What stood out to me the most about the world inside this book？I really loved how we finally came to understand the real reason behind why Tobias Hawthorne chose to hand over the inheritance to Avery rather than his family。 The characters and the unravelling of his past in this book just gave a greater depth to the whole novel and where it was set for me。 Who were my favourite characters？I came to really love Avery in this novel。 I really liked the way that she was unravelling the puzzles and the way she was learning to think like a Hawthorne。 What was my favourite quote？（view spoiler）[Alisa kneaded her temples。 "I can fix this。""It's not yours to fix，" I told her。"You have no idea what you're doing。""No。" I replied， staring her down。 "You have no idea what I'm doing。 There's a difference。" （hide spoiler）]If I could hear this same story from another person’s point of view， who would I choose？（view spoiler）[I would really like to hear this story from Vincent Blake's point of view。 Hearing about how he came up with his plan to get at Avery and the way in which things unfolded from his end when he met Eve and kidnapped Toby would have been very interesting！ （hide spoiler）]Who would I recommend this book to？I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed Knives Out or just a good mystery in general。I really hope this isn't the end to more books about the Hawthorne family！ 。。。more

In short， better than the last book， but not as good as the first。 Solid ending to a good trilogy。 Not enough Jameson and Avery for my liking， but I’ll take what I can get。 Also， the family tree hurt my brain。 Still not sure I understand it fully but whatever。

Omg， I so want this game to be real！But about the book， I just love this series。 Even if sometimes the description with Grayson and Jameson are very much on the cheesy side。 But I love the idea and I love the way Jennifer Lynn Barnes keeps it moving and thrilling。 It is really hard to put this book down and I‘m sad that the trilogy is now over。

This book threw me！ I love the characters and got more invested in several of them in this book。 The twists were unimaginable。 The ending was not the happily ever after I was hoping for， it was exactly what the book needed and fit the characters perfectly。 The chapters continue to be short and filled with riddles that make this a really quick read。 The characters really developed in this book and I love who they have become/are becoming。 Though the love interest， of the main character， isn't who This book threw me！ I love the characters and got more invested in several of them in this book。 The twists were unimaginable。 The ending was not the happily ever after I was hoping for， it was exactly what the book needed and fit the characters perfectly。 The chapters continue to be short and filled with riddles that make this a really quick read。 The characters really developed in this book and I love who they have become/are becoming。 Though the love interest， of the main character， isn't who I had rooted for， they came together well in this book ❤ 。。。more

Series went full soap opera。 The family tree is banana's。Also， why does every character need to be referred to in their full name all the time？ Is it to increase the word count？ Series went full soap opera。 The family tree is banana's。Also， why does every character need to be referred to in their full name all the time？ Is it to increase the word count？ 。。。more

Actual rating - 4。5 stars。 Due to having to wait most of the year to read this one， when I read books 1 and 2 within a couple of months of each other， I think that may have affected how I read book 3。 I remembered a lot but did forget some parts。 I also felt， because there was a lot to wrap up here， that some chapters were shorter than I'd have liked。 But I did still enjoy this very much， and I've loved the whole trilogy so much！ Oh， and the amount of planning Barnes had to do to write this stor Actual rating - 4。5 stars。 Due to having to wait most of the year to read this one， when I read books 1 and 2 within a couple of months of each other， I think that may have affected how I read book 3。 I remembered a lot but did forget some parts。 I also felt， because there was a lot to wrap up here， that some chapters were shorter than I'd have liked。 But I did still enjoy this very much， and I've loved the whole trilogy so much！ Oh， and the amount of planning Barnes had to do to write this story is amazing！ Will definitely be rereading these again in the future。 。。。more

tbh i feel like the reason i didn’t enjoy it that much is bc as the audience u aren’t really involved。 like if this was told differently it could prob be a suspense/thriller and maybe that’s j personal preference but i would’ve like that better。 like the author has never heard of show not tell i think。 there were a couple other things plot and character wise that bothered me but it’s whatever 😋

I was pretty excited to read this one， so that I could finish off this series。 It was ok， it tied things up and the ending was satisfying， but it didn't grab my attention like the first two did。 I was pretty excited to read this one， so that I could finish off this series。 It was ok， it tied things up and the ending was satisfying， but it didn't grab my attention like the first two did。 。。。more

This book was necessary to finish the trilogy， but it honestly felt like the author ran out of steam/puzzles/creativity when it came to this third book。 I wanted to love this one as much as I like the other two books， because I LOVED the other two and kept thinking about them long after I read it。 However， this one was just flat。 There wasn't any blood-pumping high action moments， super intense love/flirt scenes， and overall， the puzzles weren't exciting。 Maybe she set my standards too high or m This book was necessary to finish the trilogy， but it honestly felt like the author ran out of steam/puzzles/creativity when it came to this third book。 I wanted to love this one as much as I like the other two books， because I LOVED the other two and kept thinking about them long after I read it。 However， this one was just flat。 There wasn't any blood-pumping high action moments， super intense love/flirt scenes， and overall， the puzzles weren't exciting。 Maybe she set my standards too high or maybe she was out of ideas， but either way I just did not enjoy this third book as much as I expected or wanted to。 。。。more
