The Inheritance Games
OVER 2 MILLION COPIES SOLD OF THE #1 BESTSELLING SERIES! Don't miss this New York Times bestselling "impossible to put down" (Buzzfeed) novel with deadly stakes, thrilling twists, and juicy secrets -- perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying and Knives Out. Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why -- or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch -- and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive. **Avery's story continues in The Hawthorne Legacy and The Final Gambit

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say "The Inheritance Games" is a fast-paced, engaging mystery with clever puzzles and an intriguing premise that captivates many. Fans praise ...
I enjoyed the treasure hunt feel to this book. All the twists and turns were very intriguing.
The characters were all so varied and I enjoyed their personalities and interactions.
Overall this is a great book, but my only issue was that I felt a lot of things did not get resolved. There were many bits and pieces that felt like they were given a “sweep it under the rug” resolution instead of fully wrapping it up. And many of these pieces were portrayed as a big part of the plot.
I do look forward to a sequel if there is one and this book is definitely worth the read.
3.5/5 stars

Kept me screaming and cursing Tobias Hawthorne and praising and guiding Avery Kylie Grambs for some reason.
Couldn't put it down
Would have liked for the brothers to feel a bit more distinct from each other. Otherwise, the book has been a super fun time. Possibly would have been a 5 star read if I hadn't been in a long uni-induced reading slump?
Great mystery without murder, and vaguely heisty considering nothing really gets stolen.
Focused too much on the teen crushes and the "pull" that's masking a little lack of chemistry for my taste but... c'est la vie.
