The Hawthorne Legacy (The Inheritance Games, #2)

by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

She is one of us. We protect her.

Aweeeee they like her and accept her finally

“I think we’re all protective of Avery now. It’s not something that my brothers or I expect anyone else to understand, but the simple truth is that we’re not normal. My grandfather didn’t raise us to be normal, and this is what he wanted. This is his legacy.” His gaze burned into me. “She is.”

Jameson and Xander slipped out of the car after me, and each of them took one of my sides. At least this time, it was me and the Hawthornes against the world.

I halfway convinced myself that as long as Avery was just a riddle or a puzzle, as long as I was just playing, I’d be fine. Well, joke’s on me, because somewhere along the way, I stopped playing.”
