It is difficult to talk about something three books in without spoilers, especially in a story that is linked so closely to The Hawthrone Legacy. As I’ve stated, despite it being a personal issue, I still have my misgivings about relationships in entertainment, books in particular. The adventure and page-turning pacing returns with a mystery hanging over the ghost that is Emily haunting Gray following his desire to distance himself from Ave after she chose Jameson last time. Now on the brink of gaining billions from Tobias Hawthorne, a couple of ghosts are crawling from the crypt of the Hawthorne House to haunt the lives of Ave, Gray, Xander, Nash, and Jameson.
However, the adventure leading up to the queen of this puzzling world getting her inheritance certainly did what The Hawthorne Legacy couldn’t. On the other end of reading through the not-so Final Gambit of Avery Kylie Grambs, I can’t say the final chapters satisfied me as much as they should have. I’ve spoken about my disagreements with the endings of some books before, such as Emiko Jean’s Tokyo Ever After and Tokyo Dreaming, or even VS Nelson’s The Archivist. While I had my misgivings with some of the direction that The Hawthorne Legacy took, I dove into Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ The Final Gambit with open arms. For me, capping off a book or a series is a very risky gamble for any author to pull off.
