Summary

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。

Fun and creative， but slow at times。 Enjoyed it！

4。75。 The ending and the epilogue really made this book read worthy。 It was an enjoyable read， really fast paced with interesting plots and twists。

“The more complicated a person’s strategy seemed， the less likely an opponent was to look for simple answers。 If you could keep someone looking at your knight， you could take them with a pawn。 Look past the details。 Past the complications。” The Inheritance Games is possibly the best mystery I have read in a while！ It is YA， and so there is some immaturity to the characters but the plot is so much fun that it didn’t bother me one bit！ The story follows Avery， a high school student who is basicall “The more complicated a person’s strategy seemed， the less likely an opponent was to look for simple answers。 If you could keep someone looking at your knight， you could take them with a pawn。 Look past the details。 Past the complications。” The Inheritance Games is possibly the best mystery I have read in a while！ It is YA， and so there is some immaturity to the characters but the plot is so much fun that it didn’t bother me one bit！ The story follows Avery， a high school student who is basically living out of her car and just trying to finish high school and move on with her life！ Little did she know her life was about to change completely when a famous multi billionaire passes away and she is selected to inherit all his fortune！ In order to to receive this fortune Avery has to move into the strangers mansion with his four smart successful and stunning grandsons， cast of snooty family members and staff。 The family， not so impressed with this choice of the will is determined to get rid of Avery， while Avery is determined to survive this scandal and find out， why her！ During her quest she discovers that the house is riddled with well， riddles， which leads Avery and the grandsons on a hunt for answers！！！ Twists， turns， puzzles， secrets…I really thought the entire concept was just plain clever！ I need to order the sequel immediately！！！ 。。。more

OH WOW I’M LITERALLY SPEECHLESS THAT WAS SO INSANE ？27/£2@&/£:’ THE SHORT CHAPTERS MADE IT SUCH AN EASY READ AND I HAD SO MUCH FUN I CANNOT WAIT TO START THE HAWTHORNE LEGACY

boring mystery， flat characters， kinda forced writing but it was a quick read！

Recommended to me by my agent， after we discussed our mutual love for Knives Out。 And of course she was right: I loved this fabulous combination of Knives Out and The Westing Game！ A mystery， a weird will， rich people behaving badly， this book had everything！ Not to mention just a hint of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca happening！ I do wish that two of the boys had been a bit more fleshed out as characters， I had trouble remembering which was which。 But that might have been because I was listening t Recommended to me by my agent， after we discussed our mutual love for Knives Out。 And of course she was right: I loved this fabulous combination of Knives Out and The Westing Game！ A mystery， a weird will， rich people behaving badly， this book had everything！ Not to mention just a hint of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca happening！ I do wish that two of the boys had been a bit more fleshed out as characters， I had trouble remembering which was which。 But that might have been because I was listening to it， and when I listen to audiobooks， I'm usually doing something like getting dressed or doing my endless series of arthritis stretches。 So that might be on me。 I hate to say more， because I don't want to spoil anything。 But I'm very excited for the next one！ I hope they find [redacted] and I'm very curious about what [redacted] means。 。。。more

Havana Encalada ，

It was a well-plotted book and it was a great read。 I would have given the book five stars if not for the fact that when I was reading， it left a sour taste in my mouth。 I don't know why， but it just seemed that way while I was reading it。 It was a well-plotted book and it was a great read。 I would have given the book five stars if not for the fact that when I was reading， it left a sour taste in my mouth。 I don't know why， but it just seemed that way while I was reading it。 。。。more

Jocelyn ，

Okay I liked it。 Wouldn’t recommend it really， （drama， angst（？）） but I enjoyed the writing style quite a lot。

ana ，

3。5

Kathy ，

This book was so crazy good！！！！ I can not wait to read book 2！！

Cassidy ，

Loved this book！ Gave me vampire diaries vibes with the whole love triangle thing lol。 I’m currently team Grayson， he gives me Draco Malfoy vibes 😂

Delfina ，

amazing

Erna ，

knives out with teenagers and no daniel craig。 and also not as good。 i mean i guess it is good， i just didn’t like it very much。 a mystery like this is supposed to keep you on the edge of your seat whereas this hardly had me caring at all。 i thought the characters were underdeveloped （i can’t tell you a single personality trait of the main character and the two main hawthorne brothers were utterly indistinguishable to me） which is why i couldn’t connect to any of them。 the story also ends on a c knives out with teenagers and no daniel craig。 and also not as good。 i mean i guess it is good， i just didn’t like it very much。 a mystery like this is supposed to keep you on the edge of your seat whereas this hardly had me caring at all。 i thought the characters were underdeveloped （i can’t tell you a single personality trait of the main character and the two main hawthorne brothers were utterly indistinguishable to me） which is why i couldn’t connect to any of them。 the story also ends on a cliffhanger （and a twist， which i somehow called in the very beginning， humble brag） which pissed me off because it means i wasted my time on a book with zero resolution。 i won’t be reading the sequel though （which coincidentally came out on the day i finished this lol）。 🤷🏼‍♀️ 。。。more

Maria Maiga ，

I loved the book， it was captivating， delicious。 I wanted to know the rest， it intrigued me， I played the games， looked for and wanted to have answers， it was just wonderful & beautiful！

Hala ，

this book is grossly overhyped in my opinion。 being a mystery， i expected it to be addicting and keep me on the edge of my seat。 unfortunately， that wasn’t true。 the majority of the book felt unimportant， like we were reading chapters to pass the time。 the events of the book were not drastic or exciting; they just happened。 the entire part related to unraveling the truth and following the clues and games was， in my opinion， pretty silly。 most of the steps of the game just had me like “okay， sure this book is grossly overhyped in my opinion。 being a mystery， i expected it to be addicting and keep me on the edge of my seat。 unfortunately， that wasn’t true。 the majority of the book felt unimportant， like we were reading chapters to pass the time。 the events of the book were not drastic or exciting; they just happened。 the entire part related to unraveling the truth and following the clues and games was， in my opinion， pretty silly。 most of the steps of the game just had me like “okay， sure”。 what we discovered at every step of the game should have been shocking， exciting， and made us want to read more。 however， everything we discovered was just meaningless。 it didn’t really refer back to anything we knew from before; it always had to explain something new。 other than the mystery aspect sucking， the characters fell ridiculously flat as well。 they were so one-dimensional that i honestly cannot recount anything about them。 don’t even get me started on the nonexistent “love triangle” and “romance”。 i’m upset that this book just did not work for me。 the premise had me really excited， as did all the hype。 usually whenever a book has an average rating of >4 starts on goodreads， i end up really liking it。 however， in this case， i’m sad to say i really didn’t。 i might pick up the second book just to try it out and see whether the premise of that one works better， but there’s no telling for sure。 。。。more

Loved the puzzles but I just wished the characters were a bit more developed。 An enjoyable book who managed to take me out of a reading slump and now I'm eagerly waiting for the sequel。 Loved the puzzles but I just wished the characters were a bit more developed。 An enjoyable book who managed to take me out of a reading slump and now I'm eagerly waiting for the sequel。 。。。more

*4。5 rounded downThis book had a fast paced， unpredictable plot that I really enjoyed reading。 I found it so hard to put down because the author did a very good job of making you want to know more at the end of each chapter！The ending was a good build up to the next book too。 Can’t wait to read the sequel！

Tina ，

Nah the cliffhanger。 😭Good thing the second book comes out tomorrow。

maxine ，

would be higher except i took forever to finish

Peng Tay ，

Really liked the puzzle-solving。 Wish there were more of it。 The romance part of the story was barely there which I liked。 All in all - Enjoyable although felt it didn’t really end properly which means I need to read the sequel。 👍🏼

Meghan ，

I was so invested in this mystery and all the clues and pieces！ I am so fascinated by these characters and all of their dynamics！ I cannot wait to keep reading！

Shreya ，
