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.

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *The Inheritance Games* is an engaging, fast-paced YA mystery blending clever puzzles, Southern charm, and a thrilling mix of danger and c...
And that cover! Not only is it beautiful, but all the clues from the story are hidden inside the artwork as well.
Secret passage ways, hidden compartments, invisible ink - all the things that make a great mystery. Avery is the kind of character that you find yourself rooting for because she's humble, kind, and sassy when she needs to be. She proves that she can play the game, too - solving the puzzles. clues, and riddles Tobias Hawthorne leaves for her and his four handsome grandsons.
Speaking of the grandsons . . .
There's Nash, the oldest, who is the no-nonsense, matter-of-fact kind, who seems to take life in stride, never worrying about much. His Texas southern drawl and carefree attitude add to his charm. Grayson, the second oldest brother, who is more serious, a tad arrogant, and has the ability to make others bend to his will, even if he is only 19. And Jameson... ah, Jameson is the daredevil of the family who loves nothing more than solving riddles and puzzles. Just a year younger than Grayson, Jameson is the wild, unpredictable grandson, who lives to play the game. Xander is the baby who loves cookies and building robots and Rube Goldberg machines.
Wrap all of this up into one book, and (if you're like me) you'll never want it to end. Good thing there's a sequel in the works!
