NetGalley ARC | The Rosewood Hunt

I received a free digital ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Rating | ⭐

The quick version:

A terrible rip-off of the Inheritance Games, which did this same thing but MUCH better. Don't get me wrong, there can be multiple books with this kind of plot, but it doesn't mean that all of those books will be written well.

This one definitely is NOT.

Slightly longer version because I have too many reviews to write to waste time:

Lily Rosewood is going to take over the family business one day. She's also been supported by her grandmother in this endeavor, basically groomed to head the company when she is of age to do so. Unfortunately Gram dies suddenly and chaos ensues when it is discovered that Gram's fortune is missing.

Lily and three seemingly-random other teenagers are thrown together for a treasure hunt to find the mising money, but it becomes apparent very quickly that someone is also searching for it. More chaos ensues.

Lily is awful. She feels so betrayed by Gram, who had the nerve to will her money however she wished, and it's a big boo-hoo fest. She's such a baby and brat and not at all unlikable in a likable way.

Not recommended.
