Previous book here.
I feel like I was having Reading Funk again in that I was going through the beginning of this rather slowly and then finally speeded up as the book went on. I'm not going to be able to write too much about this, when I'm in that mode (sigh), but I liked how things finally felt like they lined up and organized and I finally had it down as to who was secretly related to who, why Avery was put in the position she was in (and we finally got more posthumous info on that), who the real enemy is, where missing people are, and how Avery is good enough to strategize exactly which chess games to lose and which to win. I was pretty impressed.
I'm happy the love interest stuff sorted out and is happily resolved without ugly love triangle drama, and we actually get to meet one missing dad, who's pretty cool. Avery manages to outscheme and outgambit, create a happy resolution to the "I inherited way too much money to be reasonable" situation, and all goes well. I left the series satisfied. Four stars.
Oh, and no sooner did I finish that than I saw there's a fourth book coming out this year....
