Description

The Inheritance Games series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a young adult mystery thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the beginning right until the very end. The series follows the story of Avery Grambs, an orphan who unexpectedly inherits a sprawling mansion from a wealthy man named Tobias Hawthorne. The catch? Avery has no idea why- or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. She must first solve a series of puzzles and riddles to unlock the mansion's secrets and figure out why she, and not the other Hawthorne’s, inherited his riches. The first book in the series, The Inheritance Games , sets the stage for the mystery to come. Avery is a smart, determined and resourceful teenager who has a plan for a better future: Survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out to start her life. But then her fortune changes in an instant when she’s suddenly whisked away from her foster family and dropped into the luxurious mansion of a wealthy billionaire, Tobias Hawthorne, who left her the entire estate in his will. As Avery begins to explore the mansion, she quickly realises that her uncle has left her a series of puzzles and riddles that she must solve in order to claim her i nheritance. The puzzles are designed to test Avery's intelligence, bravery and determination, and she must solve them within a certain timeframe or risk losing everything. Avery is not alone in her quest to solve the puzzles and claim her inheritance. She is joined by the other Hawthorne family members, including the four rightful heirs and grandsons: the cold and calculated grandson, Grayson, charming daredevil Jameson, the kind-hearted Nash and the extremely intelligent Xander. Each has received merely pocket change compared to Avery’s 48 billion dollars- with each convinced she is a con woman here to deceive. The one condition Avery must abide by is to live in Hawthorne House for at least one year, and she must not kick any member of the Hawthorne family out. The puzzles are not the only danger that Avery must face. As she delves deeper into the mystery of her uncle's inheritance, she begins to uncover a dark and sinister plot that threatens not only her own life but the lives of everyone she loves. Avery must use all of her skills and knowledge to outwit the forces that are working against her and uncover the truth about her uncle's past before it's too late. 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 second book in the series is The Hawthorne Legacy . After the bombshell of an ending from the first book, heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold all the answers to all of her questions- including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire 48 billion dollar fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger rather than his own daughters and grandsons. With threats lurking around every corner and emerging adversaries who will stop at nothing to take Avery out of...
