The Inheritance Games is about a girl named Avery Gramb who is just your average person. One day Avery Gramb’s life completely changes. Avery learns that she is the receiver of billionaire, Tobias Hawthorne’s, inheritance. However, for Avery to have access to the inheritance, she has to live with the Hawthorne family for one year. The angry Hawthorne family includes the billionaire’s four grandsons, who share a mother but have different fathers. Avery and the Hawthorne family think there may be clues in Tobias’s letters to them. To understand her role in the billionaire’s final game and why she received his inheritance, she must put together clues left in his huge mansion, which is filled with hidden rooms and secret entrances.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. I would give the book a 9/10. The book starts off slow but towards the middle, it was hard to put down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries and cliffhangers. Recently the author Jennifer Lynn Barnes has released The Hawthorne Legacy which is a squeal to The Inheritance Games. On August 30, 2022, Jennifer Lynn Barnes will be releasing the third book of the series titled The Final Gambit.
