good read, a little predictable. It's one of those books that once you start reading its hard to stop

It's a fun, adventurous, and exciting read. You would want to read every chapter to uncover the secrets and figure out the family tree connections.

I don’t like her writing style. Instead of showing us things about characters through their actions, she just states them. She doesn’t “Show don’t tell.” She also has the narrator always restating the same things over and over. Additionally the romance felt forced and it reminded me of Katherine and the love triangle from Vampire Diaries.

knives out is one of my favorite movies, and this is like that but in book form. the chapters are short, the mystery/puzzles are great, and the love triangle is written so well. i read through this in like one sitting, one of my fav reads this year.

This was fun for sure and I did like the twists and turns but I wasn’t in awe.

I am curious to know if it gets better. It seems extremely promising.

The layout was amazing though.

i’m not going to lie, this book was so fun to read, with the mysteries, riddles and distrust among the characters. It’s a story about a rich man leaving almost all his inheritance to a random girl only for it to be a game that her and all his 4 grandsons are meant to play. I love the riddles the most and how smart the characters were. a 4/5 🤞🏾

All I need and want to say is that you should not know anything other than what the synopsis tells you... It's truly a mystery, that keeps going in the best way possible throughout the entire book, without being repetitive or slow. All the elements presented are interesting and bring pieces like if this was a puzzle I can't wait to read the other ones. Its a 5 but I would give this book a 10

"I will always protect you," he told me, his jaw tight, his eyes shadowed. "You deserve to feel safe in your own home. And I'll help you with the foundation. I'll teach you what you need to know to take to this life like you were born to it. But this...us..." He swallowed. "It can't happen, Avery. I've seen the way Jameson looks at you."

All of a sudden, I was back with Jameson, headed for the West Brook. He'd told me two lies and one truth. I watched Emily Laughlin die.

"Avery." He almost never used my given name. He gently traced the line of my jaw. "I won't let anyone hurt you ever again. You have my word."

I wanted to matter.

I didn't want to be the glass ballerina or the knife. I wanted to prove, at least to myself, that I was something.

"Congratulations, Heiress," Jameson called back, his voice dripping with everything but felicitations. "I guess you had the good furtune of being born on the right day. Mystery solved."

That's the thing, Heiress. If Emily taught me anything, it's that everything is a game. Even this. Especially this.

Hands reached past me to turn on the faucet. I should have jumped. I should have panicked. But somehow, my body relaxed into the person behind me.

"It's okay, Heiress," Jameson murmured. "I've got you."

"Thea's right," he said sharply, turning away from me — walking away from me. "This family — we destroy everything we touch."

"If I were a boy," Thea told him with a Southern belle smile, "people would just call me driven."

"Thea." Constantine frowned at her.

"Right." Thea dabbed at her lips with her napkin. "No feminism at the dinner table."

But somewhere around a hundred and fifty miles an hour, I stopped thinking about should.

Adrenaline. Euphoria. Fear. There wasn't room in my head for anything else. Speed was the only thing that mattered.

That, and the boy beside me.

"You might think you're playing the game, darlin', but that's not how Jamie sees it." Nash's voice was gentle enough, but for the words. "We aren't normal. This place isn't normal, and you're not a player, kid. You're the glass ballerina — or the knife."

"Why do I have to tell a story?" I asked.

"Because if you don't tell the story, someone else will tell it for you."

"Don't you dare say we're not sisters," I told her.

"Would you still want me here?" Libby asked me, her fingers rubbing at her choker. "If we're not—"

"I want you here," I promised. "No matter what."

"Too soon?" I asked.

"I'm a Hawthorne." Xander gave me his most dignified look. "It's never too soon to start trash-talking."
