The Inheritance Games

If you want a fun series to get lost in, I think this is the move! I didn’t realize it was a 5 book series when I started (I might have been less likely to read if I knew this!), but now I’m sucked in. The plot is just fabulous. A wealthy Texas family, an incredible home, rags to riches, and puzzles? Sign me up. Avery Grambs is just trying to survive high school so that she can win a scholarship and get out of town. Thanks to her sister Libby’s abusive boyfriend, she often sleeps in her car. Everything changes when a wealthy stranger, Tobias Hawthorne, dies and leaves her his 46.2 billion dollar fortune. Avery is baffled and has no idea. Nor does his family, who is understandably quite upset. To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into the Hawthorne family home. A sprawling estate filled with puzzles and codes, secret passages and tunnels. But his four grandsons are not happy about any of this. There is Grayson, who is convinced that Avery is an evil con-woman, and his brother Jameson, who sees her as a puzzle to solve. It’s going to take quite a bit of work just to survive Hawthorne House. I tore through the first one in just a few days and can’t wait to read the next four!
