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.
