You might be wondering why I'm writing a review for the whole series instead of book by book, well my friends it's because:
1.I was too lazy
2. I binged the whole series in 5 days
3. it somehow fits to review them all at once because they all have the same qualities
1. a poor girl suddenly turns rich
2.
"she has to move in with 4 brothers and live in their mansion because
of a crazy reason no one can really explain" Wattpad kind of thing - and
they all fit a very specific description: the oldest most protective,
the grumpy moody one, the flirty troublemaker and of course the youngest
aka "comic relief"
3. a mansion full of secret passages and hidden puzzles
4. the quirky best friend that constantly reminds the MC that she lives with cute guys and should do something about it 
5. the popular, rich mean girl
6. lot's of intriguing mysteries that bring out my toxic trait - thinking I could solve it before the characters do
7. A BLOODY CLIFF HANGER THAT'S ACTUALLY SO GOOD I AIN'T EVEN MAD
And now here are my thoughts on the whole series:
The sheer amount of positive reviews (on GR, TikTok, whatever...) should tell you something - IT'S SIMPLY THAT GOOD GO READ IT
There's
also one more thing that shows you how good an author is - when the
fandom is divided between 2 guys in a love triangle. I saw so many
reviews loving that Avery spent more time with Jameson in the last book
and the same amount of reviews that wanted Avery to do the same with
Grayson in this book...The whole thing proves that Barnes can write 2
completely different White Broken Boys™ and make them both interesting,
complex and good enough. If you asked me, I couldn't tell you which one I
liked more, they are both so precious and sensitive and they
On the other hand, Avery doesn't need protecting at all, that girl can and has
saved herself so many times. She's absolutely brilliant, stubborn and
caring. I think what makes me love this series so much is that every. single. character.
has so much love and doesn't mind showing it - towards their siblings,
friends, rest of the family...They are unapologetically caring and
protective. Even when they are a bit jealous or angry, they don't fight
each other, but instead work through their emotions and talk it out (or
do some "brotherly fighting" 😂) In any case, that strong sense of
loyalty and love is what makes this series stand out for me. 
Then
there's the mystery. I can't even explain what happened in this book
because the puzzles are so complex and there are so many connections
between these characters that I wouldn't even know where to start. To
put it shortly - much puzzles, didn't guess, good plot twist.
I spent most of the last book wondering who was who to whom and why
...which is IMO a good thing 😂
Despite
Grayson, Jameson and Avery kinda being the main characters, I have to
say that the rest of them can't even be called "side" characters because
they were equally amazing and important. This series wouldn't be what
it is withouth our precious engineer cinammon roll Xander, or the sassy
BFF Max. Let's not forget the soft goth older sister + cowboy softie
Nash 😍 Then there's Oren and Alisa and Nan and Rebecca and
ughh so many wonderful people
Some
people didn't like the ending, but I thought it was perfect - it
somehow fits with everything I know about these characters. I'm hoping
the author revisits this world because I can't get enough ♥
