Review: The Inheritance Games (books 1-3) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
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.
Review.
I didn’t like the first book well enough to read further. I’m not the right audience either so I tried not to let the silly romance stuff bother me. I was looking forward to the riddles or puzzles but wasn’t really impressed by those either.
Sorry missed this . Yes I totally get if you were not impressed with riddles either . I found riddles to be okay for the most part except when it sounded silly to solve something with the riddle but what I was mostly impressed with is the overall answer as to why she was chosen . To me this even carried a punch .
