Lily Rosewood dreams of taking over her family’s company one day. Her grandmother, Rosewood Inc’s current chair, has always encouraged her, and Lily can’t wait for Gram to teach her everything she needs to know to run the business.
But then Gram dies suddenly, and Lily’s world is upended. When it’s revealed that Gram’s quarter of a billion dollar fortune is missing, Lily can’t fathom what her future will hold now.
Even in death, Gram has a few tricks up her couture sleeve. A last letter from her with a cryptic clue sends Lily and three other teens on a treasure hunt that could change their lives forever-if they can survive it. And if they pull it off, they may be rewarded with more than just money. But they’re not the only ones hunting for Gram’s treasure, and soon the hunt becomes more dangerous than they ever could have imagined.
Irresistible intrigue, captivating suspense, a swoony friends-to- rivals-to-lovers romance, and heartbreaking betrayal drive this thrilling debut novel to its explosive end.
“To him, this is a game. To me it’s everything.”
A fun and thrilling treasure hunt, The Rosewood Hunt sends you spiraling through riddles and racing against villains in hopes of finding a happy ending.
The story definitely had a found-family feel. I loved seeing Lily connect (and reconnect) with Leo, Quinn, and Caleb. I also really enjoyed Lily and Leo’s storyline. I am always a sucker for the used-to-be-friends-now-we’re-enemies type of romance. In middle school and high school, your friends and relationships definitely are in flux I liked watching Lily try to rekindle and navigate them.
Overall, The Rosewood Hunt had a great mix of being light and fun while also being somewhat mysterious and thrilling. Definitely a great one to pick up if you’re looking for an entertaining, quick read.
