(combined review, parts 3 & 4)
This series is really getting interesting – but it’s really hard to review just one installment at a time, so today I bring you parts three and four. It’s really starting to heat up – in all senses of the word.
Someone has died – no, they were surely murdered. Maggie isn’t sure who she can trust. First she tells the responding officer everything. I don’t think that is even a good move, it just didn’t feel right to me. Then she goes to Andrew, her teenage ex that broke her heart, and confides in him. Honestly, I’m not sure what to make of him. Is he on the up and up? I don’t know. I know I want to trust him, that’s for sure. But all in all, I’m just not sure Maggie is making intelligent moves here, which is bad, because I perceive her as an intelligent person. I think she needs to be a bit shrewder. It’s a very tough game of trust, and who to trust.
So we finally get a small amount of heat in the story, a bit of sexual release. While it wasn’t overly graphic, it was certainly a very much needed scene. The sexual tension between Maggie and Andrew was getting a bit out of hand; they needed to let that beast out. But again, it brings me back to trust – can she trust him?
In part four there isn’t a lot of action that we saw in the previous installments. There are some interesting things that pop up in the investigation, things about Cassandra that Maggie just wasn’t expecting. I think in part four we see more about Maggie, and her feelings about everything that happened and is happening right now.
I’m still on board with this book; I’ve got two installments left to go. I can’t wait to see what happened to Cassandra, and who will actually win the contest. I have some mini theories going on, but every time I think I know something, something happens that makes me question my own judgment. Olivia Mayfield has definitely a good story going on here, and if you like suspense, I definitely (still) recommend you get on board now!

Another exciting addition to the mysterious Inheritance saga! I have been really looking forward to this part. What could the secret be? From reading the serial thus far, it seems many people are hiding secrets. Maggie’s parents have been estranged from Maggie’s grandfather since Cassandra’s disappearance. Lots of old wounds and dissention between her parents leads me to believe they know something but refuse to air out their dirty laundry.
More than one secret was revealed in Part IV as Maggie struggles to find out what happened to her sister all those years ago. As she comes to terms with trusting Andrew again, he drops a bombshell at the end of the book that is a complete game changer. I am greatly anticipating the next two parts of the serial to solve the mystery and absolve the secret keepers of their past, current, and future sins. Well-played Olivia Mayfield. The anticipation is a killer, pun intended!
