THE BROTHERS HAWTHORNE (BOOK 4 OF THE INHERITANCE GAMES)

THE BROTHERS HAWTHORNE by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

It's no surprise that more secrets are waiting to be revealed in book four of The Inheritance Games series. After all, that's what keeps readers coming back time and time again. What more could there be? With this family, I have a feeling we're just getting started. The surprise this time is that the focus of book four is on the backstories of Jamieson and Grayson Hawthorne, two of the four Hawthorne Brothers. Bit by bit in the first three books, the layers surrounding this family have been pulled back revealing a web of treachery, vengeance, deceit, power, and the pursuit of perfection, but encased in the center of all of these things is a grandfather's love for his grandsons. The hinge on which this book completely rests is what will each of the brothers do when they are given the choice to continue on with the family deceit. Is the price for making a change too costly to pay? Sorry to leave things in such a cryptic manner, but what else could you expect from a book where puzzles are a normal, everyday experience? This is a series of you choose to read, you need to start at book one and read in order.

HEADS UP- There is a spattering of language. It is less than the previous books. No f-bombs. You know that one of the brothers is sleeping with Avery, the main character from the previous books. No details are given. However, there are a few passionate remarks (such as how their bodies fit together) and glances (notice how a wet T-shirt fits against the body, etc)
