quotes

"Yes, you do. And it doesn't even matter, because I'm not putting on a show here, Heiress. I'm not playing at being overprotective or pretending that, for once in my life, I want to do the right thing. I love you. I would die to protect you. I would make you hate me to keep you safe because damn it, Avery—some things are too precious to gamble. This is who I want to be, for you."

"You make me see myself as a person who's capable of anything. I would jump out of a plane with you, snowboard down the side of a volcano with you, bet everything that I have on you—on us, against the world. You don't get to run off and take risks and expect me to stay behind in a gilded cage of your making. That isn't who you are, and it's not what I want. You, have always made me bold. You're the one who pushes me out of my comfort zone. You don't get to box me back in now."

I think, while this one is good, this book and the second pale in comparison to the first book. They’re still good though

I can’t believe that this trilogy is over. I loved all three books and can’t believe it’s over. 
The first half of this book was slow paced as the plot hadn’t kicked of yet. Nearer the end it definitely got more intense to the point where I could barely put the book down. 
I didn’t like Eve from the beginning and found almost every scene with her in a bit annoying.
Grayson acted like a completely different person in this book, which was a bit strange. 
I felt that the chess matches at the end of the book went way to quickly to end the rivalry with Vincent Blake.
However, I did throughly enjoyed this book.
I loved seeing Avery and Jameson working together on the different riddles and watching there relationship grow in trust and love.
The book flowed smoothly and was detailed, with lots of mystery’s.
Overall, I definitely recommend reading this trilogy, as it was fun, quick and easy to read!
