The Inheritance Games (The Inheritance Games, 1)

OVER 5 MILLION COPIES SOLD OF THE #1 BESTSELLING SERIES!

Don't miss this New York Times bestselling "impossible to put down" (Buzzfeed) novel with deadly stakes, thrilling twists, and juicy secrets--perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying and Knives Out.

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.

**Don't miss a moment of The Inheritance Games Saga, including the Grandest Game, the thrilling new series set in the world of the Inheritance Games.

Reading them all? The ideal reading order is: The Inheritance Games, The Hawthorne Legacy, The Final Gambit, The Brothers Hawthorne, The Grandest Game, Games Untold, and Glorious Rivals.

Well, this book is been on my TBR list for so long. I really wanted to read this one and finally, the day came! I wouldn't say this book is my favorite but I guess I liked it. I'm thankful because my buddy read this book to Danii! It was a pleasure to buddy-read this book with her. It just took me 2 weeks to read this one. In those past few weeks, I've been busy with my studies and school stuff. So, thank you so much Dani and I really appreciate buddy reading with you:)

I actually thoroughly enjoyed it! It wasn’t what I was expecting and it wasn’t written the best but I sat there on edge wondering what on earth was going on the entire time and it was amazing

Reminded me of Knives Out and the Westing Game. I was into it. I’m not much for mysteries bc I can never figure them out, but I didn’t feel like I had to with this one. I was kinda just along for the ride. I love the Hawthorne Brothers. Grayson is my favorite. And Xander. Tbh Jameson got on my nerves sometimes but he’s chill. I’m gonna read the next one I guess

I audible screamed “No no, that’s BS. That’s not the end of the book” when I finished the last chapter. I am not downloading book 2. It was a combination of Princess Diaries and Knives Out set in Texas. Cute mystery, easy to read, brain-teasing puzzles. Definitely recommend!
