The Final Gambit (The Inheritance Games, 3)

Great book. I love the series. I hope they make it into a movie.

I loved this book! It was the best one in the series IMO. I loved the first book because of the mystery and suspense and was immediately hooked. This book had so many exciting puzzles to solve and mystery so engaging I couldn’t put it down.**Mild Spoilers Below**In the first book the romance wasn’t really there for me. It annoyed me that Avery was so insta-love with both Jameson and Grayson and I didn’t really like either one of them in the end of Inheritance Games. By book two I was team Jameson. I have loved the growth of his character through the series and I love him and Avery together. This is the book where I think the author was finally able to bring their feelings through and make it good. The thing I loved most in this book is Avery was not so dependent on the Hawthorn brothers to follow her leads. She took initiative and went off on her own instead of waiting around for one of them to pay her attention. I have been waiting 3 books for this Avery and loved it.One frustrating part of this book for me was the mention of a past wine cellar scene…..in the previous books, the author did a great job at weaving everything through so that you never felt like you had forgotten something. She wouldn’t go into lengthy paragraphs to recap, but Avery will quote something or have a thought of a place to jog your memory of important facts or times. Jump to this third book, and Avery keeps mentioning Grayson in the wine cellar. I could not for the life of me remember a scene with a wine cellar. Every time it’s mentioned I rack my brain and come up with nothing. At first I kept reading hoping something else would be mentioned and I would remember, but after a while I started pouring through the pages of the last two books looking for this scene I missed. Come to find out it’s something we haven’t seen yet and will be explained later. I was a little frustrated, but it did not ruin the book for me. Still loved it, still love this series, and still think this was the epic ending for an amazing story!

Sweet

I devoured these books, too quickly honestly Andi can't wait to read more Jennifer Lynn Barnes!!The characters in this series were so real to me, I hated coming back to the reality of the world we live in. I hope desperately for more Avery, Jameson, Max, Libby, Thea, Oren and the rest of the gang!!

I stayed up late to finish this one. I love what she ended up doing with the money and wrapping up everything.

From the beginning of book 1 to 2, the story was engaging and exciting. However, when I started reading this book all the way to the end, I was very disturbed by the handful of curse words and complacent attitude toward sleeping together with many of the characters, including the protagonist. Is this really what the author is sowing among young minds today. I’m a mother of a teen, and I have been reading a multitude of books for teens to young adults so I can recommend it to her. Well, this certainly is not the book that I would recommend to her or her friends.However, this book wrapped up the whole story completely. Admittedly, it ended well, but the other elements I mentioned above could’ve been omitted.

This has been a 5 star read series so far. The author knows how to keep you in the dark. The characters are fantastic and likeable. The ending of this one was not expected, but just as good. There is one more book to read and 2 more to come. Can't wait!!!!!

Good condition
