Review: "The Hawthorne Legacy" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

★★★


Book 2! And…having just read book 3 as well, I’ve already forgotten much of what happens in book 2. I’m afraid that’s the problem with trilogies—the middle book so often feels like filler. Here, Avery has been in the house for a whole three weeks, which naturally means that the four brothers who thought they’d inherit have accepted her as one of their own and are willing to step in front of bullets for her (while two of the four occasionally beat each other up because they both have the hots for Avery). Because…that’s definitely how it works.

I’ll keep this short (because really, I should have written this review before reading the next book)—all is fine and still fun as far as the wish-fulfillment part of things goes, but it’s also very much, well, the second book of a trilogy. Oh, and I’m mother-faxing tired of the way every other piece of Max’s dialogue has fake swearing.
