Average rating3.8
Four brothers. Two missions. One explosive read. Jennifer Lynn Barnes returns to the world of her #1 bestselling Inheritance Games trilogy, and the stakes have never been higher.
Grayson Hawthorne was raised as the heir apparent to his billionaire grandfather, taught from the cradle to put family first. Now the great Tobias Hawthorne is dead and his family disinherited, but some lessons linger. When Grayson’s half-sisters find themselves in trouble, he swoops in to do what he does best: take care of the problem—efficiently, effectively, mercilessly. And without getting bogged down in emotional entanglements.
Jameson Hawthorne is a risk-taker, a sensation-seeker, a player of games. When his mysterious father appears and asks for a favor, Jameson can’t resist the challenge. Now he must infiltrate London’s most exclusive underground gambling club, which caters to the rich, the powerful, and the aristocratic, and win an impossible game of greatest stakes. Luckily, Jameson Hawthorne lives for impossible.
Drawn into twisted games on opposite sides of the globe, Grayson and Jameson—with the help of their brothers and the girl who inherited their grandfather’s fortune—must dig deep to decide who they want to be and what each of them will sacrifice to win.

4/5 ⭐
I went in with quite low expectations especially after finding out that it was written in 3rd person. The book was better than I expected but was still lackluster compared to the original trilogy. The plot twists were lacking, the main couple had no chemistry whatsoever, there were too many added characters, and although the boy's missions were fast-paced and kept my interst they turned out to have no real point. Jameson only won Vantage to prove he could. And Grayson winds up telling his half-sisters pretty much everything. Avery had maybe 5 lines and no purpose in the story besides helping Jameson figure out riddles. She was already pretty boring of a main character but she was lifeless in this book. To anyone reading for Xander, Xander-Max, or Libby-Nash, you will be incredibly disappointed. Libby and Max are never even mentioned as far as I can remember and Xander also has maybe 3 scenes. As a Grayson girly, I wish he had a happier ending and some healing here. Also I hated the writing style of this book. The switching between the 2 storylines is obnoxious and it's written in 3rd person for literally no reason which made me want to DNF. The writing just fell flat compared to the last 3. Its a decent book but just know that it is no where near as good and the original trilogy. I will be reading the 5th book.
My favorite book of the series so far. Holy cow. I devoured this book in mere hours.
Ich fand es gut dass es relativ unabhängig von der original story ist. Allgemein fand ich das buch gut und spannend. Aufgrund des endes stellt sich aber natürlich die frage ob es noch weitergehen wird?
