A Cinderella story with deadly stakes and thrilling twists, 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 con-woman, 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.

My thoughts on The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Young adult fiction? I think not. I loved the story with its twists and turns. Was Tobias Hawthorne crazy to leave his fortune to an unknown girl and cut out his family? Of course not, there is always more to the story.
Avery and the four disinherited grandsons must solve puzzles, traverse hidden passages, and search for clues, all while navigating the dangerous world of the super-rich. It seems every character has a motive for mischief and murder.
The author juggles many plotlines, minor mysteries, and intriguing characters to keep you glued to the story. I devoured this book in a day. It’s hard to put it down.
This is the first book I have read from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, but it won’t be the last. I’m very much looking forward to the sequel. I highly recommend The Inheritance Games to all reader that love a fast-paced, intriguing mystery.
I received a review copy of the book and this is my honest, unbiased opinion.
