Hey! I just finished reading "The Inheritance Games" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, and I had to share how much I loved it! The story is so gripping and full of surprises. I was hooked from the first page.
The plot revolves around Avery, a girl who suddenly inherits a billionaire's fortune, but she has no idea why. The puzzles and riddles she has to solve kept me on the edge of my seat. The Hawthorne family is full of intriguing characters, each with their own secrets and motives.
The writing is fast-paced and engaging, making it a quick and exciting read. I can't wait to dive into the second book and see what happens next!
If you enjoy mysteries with lots of twists and turns, you should definitely check this one out. It's such a fun and thrilling read!

This was a good mystery with a little romance splashed in. Definitely more teen/young adult oriented. The writing wasn't amazing, but I enjoyed the storyline and characters. I'm excited to read the rest of the series, but I was slightly let down by the reveal at the end of this book. I'm hoping there's more to it going forward.
I was invested the whole book. It is excellent writing that has enough twists to keep you guessing. The ending was what fell flat for me. It was very anti-climatic. Maybe more answers will be revealed in future books but at this point I'm undecided on if I'll continue reading.
I think the plot was pretty awesome if Iâm honest. I enjoy when a book just gets into the thick of it. I love Avery and her quick wit. Jameson, or any of the Hawthorne boys for that matter, Iâm not particularly sold on. The ending was awesome which brought it up a whole star rating. I think it couldâve been about 75 pages shorter. But the ending twist! I shouldâve seen that coming! Iâm pissed I didnât think about it more! Iâm not ~completely~ sold on the rest of the series. Iâll see if I get to it.
