He Started It by Samantha Downing

Why would their grandfather require his grandchildren to re-live a trip they took with him when they were young in order to inherit his fortune?


They were doing it by the book because the attorney was adamant that it was the only way he would release the money.


The trip was not fun, but they did remember some of the places they went.  


It was ok for the first day, but then everyone was getting on each other’s nerves, someone crashed into them and seemed to be following them, they had to stay in cheap motels, and had a flat tire.


There is also a diary one of the children shares with us that reveals secrets that everyone doesn’t know about.


The book had chapters that left you hanging, but I was getting tired of this trip too.  


HE STARTED IT dragged on and on with flashbacks of the original trip and the current trip.


I kept reading because I wanted to know where this was going.  


This was not a favorite book nor one that I couldn’t wait to get back to.


The ending was nothing outstanding, but since the story flowed, my rating is 3/5.


This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
