⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Gripping, Thoughtful, and Unforgettable Read!
The Heir completely captivated me from the very first page. It’s more than just a story about inheritance—it’s a deep, emotional journey into identity and the choices that define who we become.
The pacing is perfect, the writing immersive, and the characters feel incredibly real. Greenberg does a brilliant job weaving together mystery, suspense, and introspection in a way that keeps you hooked until the final page.
Every chapter pulled me deeper into the world, and by the end, I didn’t want to leave it. This is one of those rare books that makes you think long after you’ve finished reading.
If you’re looking for a novel that combines emotional depth, suspense, and elegant storytelling, The Heir is an absolute must-read!
A thought-provoking and unforgettable story. Five stars, hands down!

Very good book for a new writer
This is a very good book for a new writer. The characters and setting were almost completely flushed out. The pacing was on par and fit the narrative with only some slight jumping. Why 5 stars if it isn't perfect? Because perfect doesn't always mean it's a great book. Perfect means it fits the script. A great book means it was a great story, enough that you ignore the imperfections.
Side note: The few grammatical errors drove me nuts. But, that's my own, nitpick issue. Lol.
I also read the reviews before reading the book. I guessed at the ending and by the middle of the book, I knew the what if not the how. It makes you, the reader, more involved.
Hopefully, the author has plans for the future to see where the story goes.

I COULD NOT put this down. Literally, I read this in less than a day.
Gemma’s sassy southern roots and Becky’s deep rooted steadiness are SUCH a great combo to read about.
Plus, I love a book that emotionally wrecks me.

Shifters, romance, comedy…what’s not to love? There were some minor things, but overall for a first novel I was pleasantly surprised! I definitely enjoyed this read. A.J. Greenberg I hope you’re writing a book 2!

What a great read. For someone who has a hard time following fantasy books sometimes, this one had me hooked from the very beginning to the very end. That ending had me in tears. Definitely hope she writes another book...soon!

Amazing story but bring the tissues!
I love and hate the ending but this is so well written. The story slowly pulls you in and by the end chapter 3 I couldn't put it down.

The spice level on this was a little higher than I anticipated since I expected there to be zero, but I did enjoy the story. It didn't go as I expected at the beginning, but I did see it coming eventually and it made sense for the story.
