Review

I need another book. Not a want but a strong need. This book did not disappointment. Correction, none of the three books in this series did. Like the two before, I was on the edge of my seat with every page. The mystery of it all was highly addicting. And The Final Gambit is an almost perfect ending to this series.

Every mystery was crafted so intricately and completely unpredictable. Something would be revealed, and my mouth would drop. I hadn’t seen it coming. So many juicy twists and turns with so many layers. I really enjoyed seeing Avery’s growth and her relationship with the Hawthorne boys change from the first book until now.

I really enjoyed reading in Avery’s POV every time there was a change challenge she rose to that challenge. She truly was the “IT Girl.” And the main character.

I do think this series could have done with a love triangle, considering there was obviously always a clear choice. And Avery picked that clear choice. I won’t spoil, but I was happy about the choice, considering that was who I was rooting for. However, I could see how some people were annoyed with the “love triangle”. One romance I will spoil, is Nash and Libby. They were so sweet. And if there was potential for another book, I would want more to them. The tiny sprinkles that we got of them were golden.

Final Thoughts:

The Final Gambit was an entertaining and exciting end to this great series.
