The Hawthorne Legacy
Jennifer Lynn Barnes
- Reading
- As a sequel, it may help to talk through any earlier-series context your reader remembers before starting. Check in as the threats and romantic tensions develop, and let them pause to discuss predictions.
- Themes
- Inheritance and belonging: Avery has inherited Tobias Hawthorne's fortune and seeks to understand why; clues suggest a deeper connection to the family. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Secrets and investigation: Avery and the Hawthorne grandsons follow clues connected to Tobias's decisions and family secrets. The investigation is presented as a central plot engine; whether particular characters' secrecy is criticised or justified is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Threats against Avery and adversaries intent on removing her from the picture are part of the premise. Romance involving Avery and two Hawthorne grandsons is also signalled; its detail and intensity are unclear.
