I hate this book, I really hate it. I tried my best not to hate it but just couldnt do anything but hate it. Without further ado, here is my review rant.

Question 1: How did you find the characters?
A) Love (1 star)
B) Like (0.75 stars)
C) Okay (0.50 stars)
D) Dislike (0.25 stars)
E) Hate (0 stars)

Explain your answer:
The characters were teetering back and forth off of the cliff I call “tolerable�� and into the chasm I call “annoying.�� I had no love at all for any of the characters. I have no desire to go fight over the characters. They could all go fall in a hole and die, and I couldn’t care less. So now, to begin��
Avery: Level of annoyingness: 7.5/10 Avery is the teen who Tobias Hawthorn chose to inherit just about everything he had owned. (BILLIONS of dollars) She’s really annoying and I didn’t really see any personality in her. *shrug* Would I want to be her? Probably.
Jameson: Level of annoyingness: 10/10 Brother numero dos or tres. I honestly forgot at this point. He’s the rebellious brother who’s really annoying. 10 reasons why I find him annoying to support my 10/10 annoying meter rating:
1. Promptly goes to call Avery Mystery Girl
2. Because Avery didn’t like him calling her Mystery Girl, changes it to M.G. which stands for Mystery Girl.
3. Changes to calling her Heiress (which, mind you, she also didn’t like) because SHE DIDN’T LIKE THE FIRST TWO.
4. Sneaks into her room like a creepy stalker using a secret passage. Creepy x100.
5. Sprouts random nonsense that takes you too long to understand

"Everyone is going to want something from you soon, Heiress. The question is: How many of us want something you’re willing to give?��

6. More random nonsense:

"If I do what I should no more often than I say what I shouldn’t - then what does that make me?��

7. [insert more random nonsense here]
8. A few more things for the last three, but they’re spoilers so let’s leave it at this.
Grayson: Level of annoyingness 8/10 Grayson is also either brother numero dos or tres. He doesn’t really do much throughout the entire book. He’s just�� kinda there? Still, he was annoying. He was annoying at the beginning and got even more annoying as the book progressed.
Xander: Level of annoyingness: 5/10 Brother numero cuatro. The youngest brother. I surprisingly didn’t find him as annoying as everyone else. *sigh of relief* I actually don’t remember half the things he did. Which might be the reason I find him less annoying. But
Nash: Level of annoyingness: 8/10 Brother numero uno. The oldest one. He has this aura about him that makes you want to cringe and die inside. and not in a melt-your-heart kind of good way. Just, eww. (I legit thought his name was Nate until 5 minutes ago)
Max: Level of annoyingness: 100000000/10 AND�� DRUMROLL PLEASEEEE�� THE MOST ANNOYING CHARACTER AWARD GOES TO MAX!!! [says sarcastically] CONGRATULATIONS!!! Here, I’m gonna put a few quotes that should explain it all:

”Are you foxing with me, beach?��

”Bull fox-faxing ship��

”What the everlasting mothing-foxing elf is going on here?��

And the best worst one:

”THAT FAXING CHIPHEAD CAN GO STRAIGHT TO ELF AND EAT A BAG OF DUCKS!!!��

Yes. THREE exclamation marks.

Do I ship?
Avery x Jameson? No. I couldn’t care less
Avery x Grayson? No. I also couldn’t care less
Avery x Xander? Why am I even putting this here? No.
Avery x Nash? Also, why am I even putting this here? No.
Avery x no one? The best option out of all of them. *points to screen* THIS ONE!

Question 2: How did you find the plot?
A) Love (1 star)
B) Like (0.75 stars)
C) Okay (0.50 stars)
D) Dislike (0.25 stars)
E) Hate (0 stars)

Explain your answer:
I had no idea what the plot was going into this book. Then when I began reading the book, I was like “wait- is there even a plot?�� So confused. Then I eventually got around to reading the blurb thingy, and I was like [say in extremely dull tone] “oh.�� I judged this book by the title, and I was expecting the characters to have to play a riddle and puzzle game to win the inheritance Tobias Hawthorn left behind. Which definitely would have been more interesting than *waves hands around in the air* whatever this was.

The plot follows Avery, a poor teen living in her car, who becomes the world’s youngest billionaire when Tobias Hawthorn leaves almost all of his inheritance to her. But, there’s a catch. Avery has to live in Hawthorn House, which is filled with secret passages and riddles, for at least one year, or else all of the money would be sent to charity. Naturally, the deceased Hawthorn guy’s family is�� to put it mildly, jealous of her. To put it as it is, they’re feeling murderous. Now, Avery has to survive in the house for a year. Yes, I said survive. Because there’s danger waiting at every turn, yadda yadda. *rolls eyes in boring*
---------------------------

Question 3: How did you find the setting/worldbuilding?
A) Love (1 star)
B) Like (0.75 stars)
C) Okay (0.50 stars)
D) Dislike (0.25 stars)
E) Hate (0 stars)

Explain your answer:
The setting of this book takes place mostly in Hawthorn House. The secret passages and riddles that are hidden all over the house were kind of cool. But, I feel that it could have been explored further. We get to see�� what? 3 secret passages the entire book? 2? And a map of the house would have been really nice. I felt like I had no idea where anything was in the supposedly huge house that the grandfather ��added a new room or wing every year.��
---------------------------

Question 4: How did you find the writing/POV/pacing?
A) Love (1 star)
B) Like (0.75 stars)
C) Okay (0.50 stars)
D) Dislike (0.25 stars)
E) Hate (0 stars)

Explain your answer:
The writing, was very average. Nothing special. Mediocre at best. Unless you’re counting Max dialogue. The suspense was nonexistent. The chapters were too short. WHY ARE THE CHAPTERS THAT SHORT.

The POV gets an annoying meter rating of 10000/10. We get a first-person POV from Avery, and just [insert screaming]. As if Avery wasn’t annoying enough, we have to get thoughts STRAIGHT FROM HER HEAD.

The pacing wasn’t altogether terrible, just boring. A little bit on the too-fast side. I didn’t find myself wanting to continue but just get it over with. AND WHY ARE THE CHAPTERS SO SHORT.
---------------------------

Question 5: How did you find the conflict/resolution?
A) Love (1 star)
B) Like (0.75 stars)
C) Okay (0.5 stars)
D) Dislike (0.25 stars)
E) Hate (0 stars)

Explain your answer:
I didn’t see that coming. But I had no idea what I was even supposed to see coming. It really wasn’t that surprising. Dull, like the rest of the book.
---------------------------

Total: (1/5)
Deductions & Bonuses:
-1 because i truly hated this book
Final Total: (2/5)

Other notes:

- I sincerely apologize to anyone who loved this book, it just wasn't for me.
