The Inheritance Games

Avery Grambs is an ordinary teenager with a scholarship plan until a billionaire she has never met names her the heir to almost everything he owned. Jennifer Lynn Barnes builds the story around a house that works like a puzzle box: secret passages, coded messages and a family of dispossessed Hawthorne grandsons who each read the will differently. Avery has to live at Hawthorne House to claim the inheritance, which places her inside the same walls as the people with the strongest reasons to remove her. The plot moves through riddles and shifting alliances rather than long descriptive stretches, and chapters tend to close on a fresh question. Worth noting: • Opening title of a young adult mystery series that continues across further volumes • Puzzle-driven plotting, with codes and riddles woven into the setting itself • Four Hawthorne brothers whose motives stay deliberately unclear • Short chapters and cliffhanger endings suit readers who like fast pacing A good fit for teenagers and adults who enjoy mystery, family intrigue and slow-burn romance, available at Boipoka.
