The Inheritance: Part 3
The case in Olivia Mayfield’s The Inheritance is heating up, and so is the connection between Maggie and Andrew. But even attraction is suspect when millions of dollars are on the line…
The Inheritance, Part III
The Betrayal
Shaken to the core by her latest discovery, Maggie seeks solace in the arms of an eager Andrew, and an evening of consoling turns into a night of reckless passion. Though Maggie’s investigation into Cassandra’s vanishing is meeting with little success, her love life finally seems to be going right. The more she learns about Andrew, the more Maggie begins to believe that she let the wrong guy get away.
But as their relationship turns from a one night stand into a more serious fling, Maggie realizes that Andrew might be hiding secrets of his own—secrets that make her wonder if his seduction hides ulterior motives.

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 episode in the Inheritance saga! Maggie interviews a former classmate and her mom trying to discover more details of the night of Cassandra’s disappearance. Maggie’s also become more careful but still keeps looking over her shoulder everywhere she goes.
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie. I knew she was going to cave. I certainly wouldn’t trust Andrew. I think he is a slimy sneaky snake waiting to attack. I also think her plan to become intimate with Andrew is going to end up biting her in the ass, big time. She needs a clear head if she’s going to solve the case, not by daydreaming about passionate nights and young love getting a second chance.
Three parts down, three more to go. As we get deeper into the series, I find my presumptions are becoming more concrete. I think Andrew is behind the disappearance. I think he secretly wanted Cassandra and that’s why he dated Maggie to get closer to her. Cassandra may not have wanted him but I definitely believe Andrew wanted her. Maggie better watch her back or she may share the same fate as Cassandra.
Am I right? I think at this point in the serial,anyone is suspect. Could be more than one person, could be someone Cassandra trusted. I know one thing, the suspense is killing me! Bravo Olivia Mayfield!
