This is one of those series you could reread every year and have it be just as interesting everytime.
I'm not a huge mystery reader, and the huge romance subplot heavily sways me. I love how just everything is connected in this book, every little hint and it's shoved in your face without you knowing until you learn one fact and then everything in the past becomes an "Oh my god, why didn't I pick up on that." I imagine writing this book was like that evidence wall meme of the guy screaming point to all the red lines of yarn to photos and letters.
The mystery / connection that is solved in this book threw me at first because of the dates of the will. The whole mystery they're focused on in this book happened a year ago, where the will was re-rewritten 20 years ago to disinherited everyone, then was changed to include Avery. To me, the incident that happened a year ago kinda has nothing to do with this whole, "I'm sorry" and "I have a secret about the day you were born." thing.
slight spoilers -
My reason for rereading this book now (28.8.2022) is to prepare for the third book release. I have vague memory of what happens in the next book, but as of now. In the great averygrayson and averyjameson debate, I choose averygrayson. Simply because the whole time while Jameson trails her along and shows interest, he is obsessed with her in relation to the puzzle and all the side characters state that. Where Grayson starts off angry, stay away from my family, stay away from Grayson but he eventually starts to soften a little as he realizes Avery didn't have any involvement in stealing the inheritance. Grayson stated that his biggest mistake was choosing a girl over his family, he blamed himself for everything that happened, and said the old man lectured him about how it was his big mistake too. BUT THEN HE CHOOSES HER OVER HIS FAMILY, threatening his mother to leave?? After she staged for Avery failed assassin attempts. Grayson withholds himself from Avery, keeping himself at a distance because, ""I will always protect you," he told me. ... "I'll teach you what you need to know to take this life like you were born to it. But this..us... It's can't happen, Avery. I've seen the way Jameson looks at you."" -pg. 365. Grayson doesn't want to let a girl between them again because the last time, she died, and he lost his brother. He blames himself for it all, and he refuses to let it happen again.

The story itself is incredible though! Just too bad that I've come across nearly a dozen extremely faded pages.

3 stars because of the print, not the story.

Many of the pages had very faded lettering (the picture adds a bit of saturation making the words to appear a bit darker than they do in real life)Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 13, 2023
