The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, 358 pages.
Following the resolution of the first game at the end of The Inheritance Games, Avery is instantly launched into another cryptic game, this time to find Toby, the son of the billionaire who's fortune she inherited, who has been presumed dead for twenty years. The search quickly becomes deeply personal for Avery, which keeps her playing long after the game turns dangerous.
I really liked The Inheritance Games as a quick, fun adventure. Unfortunately, The Hawthorne Legacy took the genre typical amount of contrivance and turned it up to eleven. There's not very much in this book that's even remotely plausible, that being said, it is still sort of fun. Overall not an exceptional book, but not terrible either.
