@inkatiescorner This was a reread for me and, according to Goodreads, I finished it on the exact same day two years apart. The logical explanation is this a sign that a multi-billionaire is about to give me his entire inheritance, and I’m ready for it 💸 Okay, so here’s the deal. Is this the best piece of literature ever written? No, but it’s not supposed to be. We like ✨ vibes ✨ around here and this is a fun, fast-paced YA whodunnit that has you second guessing every character and trying to solve the puzzle all along the way. If you like: 💕 Dodgy yet lovable characters 😘 Love triangles 🤓 Mystery, intrigue, puzzles, oh my! 📣 S H O R T C H A P T E R S 🎉 Escapism, easy reads and fun rides Then pick up this series! And good news - they only get better from here.

@mycozymnbooks ✨️Two For Tuesday✨️ Qotd: Are you a cat person or dog person? Comment below! I'm learning how to create bookish content with puppers who don't want to leave my side. I think the answer is to include her!(she wanted my coffee bad, though). Swipe for muffin-----> My bookish mind has been in texas for the past week, and I 100% forgot just how much I've missed this bookish world! This may just be my year of rereading favorites. I have already reread twilight, cc1 and cc2, and now the first two books in the Inheritance Games series. Surprise, surprise! These books still hold up to when I first read them. I found I actually did remember quite a few pieces of what happened but mixed up what character did what a time or two. If you like YA mystery, you definitely need this series in your life. I've started The Final Gambit, which isn't a reread, and I can't wait to review! I also need to track down a copy, and when looking on target, it looks like another book in this series will be released on July 30th! #theInheritancegames #thehawthornelegacy #thefinalgambit #twofortuesday #yabooks #myseterybooks #bookstagram #bookbookbook #booksanddogs #coffeeandbooks #bookworm #booknerd #bookreview #bookreviewer #readmorebooks #bookcommunity #bookpeople #readersofinstagram #jenniferlynnbarnes #booksandpets #dogsandbooks

Description



Book Synopsis



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.



Review Quotes



Praise for The Inheritance Games:
A thrilling blend of family secrets, illicit romance and high-stakes treasure hunt, set in the mysterious world of Texas billionaires. The nonstop twists kept me guessing until the very last page!--Katharine McGee, New York Times bestselling author of American Royals

* Part The Westing Game, part We Were Liars, completely entertaining.--Kirkus, starred review

* This strong, Knives Out-esque series opener...provides ample enjoyment.--Publishers Weekly, starred review

[A] well-characterized mystery that's packed to the brim with twists and tricks. Hand immediately to teen fans of Knives Out or readers who love Maureen Johnson's Truly Devious series.--Booklist

Barnes's meticulously crafted novel is like the film Knives Out for the YA world, perfect for any reader seeking suspense, romance, and glamour. ...Barnes crafts high-stakes tension, a swoony love triangle, and a large but memorable cast of characters. Fun and fast-paced, fans of Karen M. McManus's One of Us is Lying and Maureen Johnson's Truly Devious will find a new home at Hawthorne House.--SLJ

Impossible to put down.--Buzzfeed

Prickly, witty, and stubborn as a mule, Avery is an eminently likable protagonist, and her savvy ability to manage the obnoxiously privileged people she suddenly finds herself surrounded by is admirable, helped plenty by her quippy one-liners that level even the snobbiest among them.--BCCB
