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. **The games continue in The Hawthorne Legacy, The Final Gambit, and The Brothers Hawthorne, all available now, and Games Untold, available for preorder!

LOVED this story! I cannot wait to get my hands on the next in the series. I love that it had a conclusion to the story, even though there are still some loose strings to tie up in the next (otherwise why would you read it!?) Great premise and one I haven't read before.

Maybe I would rate this higher if I read it as a teenager? Maybe I have no right rating books meant for teens? I did read this in about a day, loved the short chapters. It was definitely fast paced.
Cons (for meeeee):
The romance sub plot was annoying.
Max’s fake cussing was obnoxious.
I wish there had been more riddles, puzzles, what have you.
I’m hoping that Toby Sr’s chance run in with her at 6 years old actually means something later in another book, because right now, that was dumb.
