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.
**The games continue in The Hawthorne Legacy, The Final Gambit, and The Brothers Hawthorne!

Amazing!!!. I love this book! I wrote a poem!! Nash is a playa, he’ll make you wanna say ya! Xander is dangerously smart, he’ll show you the Rube Goldberg art! Jameson is wild, he’d prefer spicy any day over mild! Grayson has power, from what? We down know! He’ll teach you a lesson, friend or foe!
Loved it!. Amazing!The plot,the story,the ending! Recommend 10/10! Wish they would make a movie or a show its one of those books where you feel like you can picture every detail!
Cute Story, No Surprises. The “big reveal” wasn’t a shock. It was a given from the beginning. Doesn’t make me want to read the next one. Still a fun story. Not a waste of time.
Amazing Book!. Loved the thrill and could not put it down! So.Many.Layers.
I love it. It was a wonderful experience reading this book read it!
The inheritance games. Amaze balls
amazing book i 100% recommend. this book was action packed and plot twist filled so hard to put down. i finished it in one day and immediately ordered the next book.
Very addicting. Couldn’t put down.. Such a good story. It’s been a long time since I was deeply enthralled into a book. This was such a fun story to read and I cannot wait to start the 2nd story in the series. My only critique, which means nothing because I mean nothing, is the chapters are unnecessarily short; they could have been longer with less number of chapters. Also, Avery is first described as a self assured independent young woman and then throughout the entire story she was constantly doubting herself and the CONSTANT italicized thoughts to herself were a little distracting. Again, what do I know? I’m not the author. Great series, still.
10/10. i don’t usually read mystery novels, but my God this book was so good. 10/10 recommend this to anyone who is in a reading rut, it’ll pull you right out. i’m excited to read the next one!
Incredible. This is the best book I’ve read in a long time. I finished the first two books in three days because I just couldn’t put it down! I recommend this book to pretty much anyone but if you like mind games, READ THIS BOOK! If you liked The Westing Game, this is like that, but better. ♥️♥️♥️
Wonderfully Eccentric Novel. This book was everything I wanted. It was smart, but not in a predictable way and did a wonderful job carefully uncovering secrets as the book went on.
It’s a good short read. I’d recommend it to young readers looking for an exciting mystery.
Loved This Book!!. I loved this book, the main character was relatable and smart and her story was compelling. I loved the characters and the descriptiveness and feel of the book. How she became one of the richest people in the world and it’s such an amazing ending. Less creepy, but more witty and cause characters to decipher things more than an eery or scary feel. I absolutely recommend!!
Best book I have read in awhile!. I could not put this book down it is everything I could every want in a book: mystery, intrigue, romance... I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and I am devastated to be done with the book. Praying for a sequel!
Thrilling, but sometimes missing. Overall, it was a great read. Short chapters. Well designed characters. The twists and turns were always coming. The puzzle fit together well in the end. Still a couple threads left, but I think those were left for the sequel. What was missing was the actual love connections. This isn’t a romance novel, but romance was written in. However, it felt forced and kind of unnecessary at times. The story would have worked without it. I am excited and ready to read the sequel. I definitely recommend the book to anyone wanting a quick and easy mystery novel.
Love it!!. It was a great book, a slower start but the story keeps on building on itself with so many different twists, turns, layers and there’s always another question to be answered Such an interesting and fun read!
Don’t not read. Plz smoke 🍃💨
Such Fun. Great plot, interesting characters, a fantastic read!
Love. Love ! Team Grayson
Couldn’t put it down. I started his book on a whim last night before bed around 10 pm. I stayed up until finally at 1am I told myself I needed to go to bed because #momlife ,but I absolutely didn’t want to stop reading. As soon as I woke up this morning I started reading and I am proud to say I finished this book within 6 hours and I cannot wait for book two. It’s so well written and really keeps you guessing the whole way through. Everything wraps up nicely, and I definitely used my highlight feature on Apple Books to help me try and solve the mystery. I’ve never read a “mystery” book before and I absolutely loved this one. I’m hoping to find more great books from this author!
Best book I’ve ever read. This book kept me past midnight because of the twist and turns. Absolutely amazing. Not only is this book very well written, it had very likable characters. Most books start of slow and boring. However, this book got me hooked from the very beginning. I recommend this book to anyone who likes young adult mystery, and romance books.
Best Book!!!❤️❤️❤️. This is the best book I’ve ever read. The inheritance games had you at the end of your seat the whole book. I love how Jameson told Grayson the whole truth on what happened. I couldn’t believe the ending of the book. I can’t wait to read the second book. I definitely suggest this book to anyone who has never read this genre!!!😃
Amazing. This book will keep you up at night wanting more and trying to figure out the puzzle along with the characters!!!
funney bunnies. i had a funney bunnie bum bum time reading this booty licious bookie pookie ookie
Definitely a page turner!!! 😍. From the second I started reading I couldn’t stop. It just kept getting better and better. I loved it!! Excited for the next book!
Inheritance games is amazing. So much suspense! You never want to put the book down. And if you tend to visualize the scenery when reading this book is amazing for that. It is so descriptive.
Amazing. One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I read it in two days and couldn’t put it down! It had mystery, love, secrets, and riddles on top of riddles, which makes it so captivating.
❤️❤️. i absolutely adore this book. i love the way the author wrote it. xander is the best character out of the hawthorne boys though. And i love max!! ❤️❤️❤️
Good read. Overall this was a good read and i was invested . The only critic is i feel like its a bit slow at times, and there were boring bits. I love the hawthorn’s dynamics and characters, I would recommend.
Amazing. This book is the most well thought and put together story I have ever read. It is worth the money and the feeling of solving the puzzle at the end and everything making sense is just mind blowing. How the author came up with all of this is beyond me but I am stunned. As much as you try to understand and solve things they always take such a turn and your back to square one! Love it!!!
Amazing book. Let’s just say I was hooked from the sample. The book was so well written. It had so many twists and turns. I fell in love with this book. I couldn’t stop reading it. I would recommend every single person I know to read this. It was addictive.
The inheritance games book review. Omg…. This book was soooo good I almost cried because i finished it. Got to be one of the best books I’ve ever read. PUT THIS BOOK ON YOUR TBR.
This book is so interesting to read butttttttt =/.. This book has been recommended to me on booktok and I decided to put It on my to read list and I finally decided to read It and It’s so interesting to read but some of the characters name are the Harry Potter names like example Harry-harry Toby- dobby drake - draco It’s so interesting to read but It’s like they ran out of Nemes for some of the characters so they used some of the Harry Potter Nemes to put them on some characters. I will definitely recommend reading this book though If u want to :).
Overrated. My friend told me to read this book because everyone says it’s good. Spoiler, it wasn’t. I was reading and the entire time I was waiting for a plot twist that never came. When I got to the end I was honestly disappointed. The main character didn’t end up with either of the people in the love triangle in the first book and I honestly do not have any desire to read the other 3 books. This one was just a complete waste of time and the game didn’t even mean anything. Maybe it’s just me, idk. Read it if you want, but it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
I cant believe it. Honestly I’m not a person for mystery but I couldn’t help but read until 3 am. Each twist and turn kept me on the edge of my seat. I fell in love with these characters. I wasn’t expecting much because this is the second book but wow was I mistaken. I love this series and am dying to read the next!💗
JLB’s Best Trilogy. I have read every book she’s written, and I have to say that this is absolutely amazing—with that said, this series is so far my favorite trilogy and favorite book. I read it just about a week after it was released and was instantly hooked. Can’t wait for Final Gambit! Definitely a good read, I couldn’t stop turning the pages. I believe I read it all in about 5-6 hours? TL;DR: A great book for the YA crowd out there and, of course, mystery fans! Best book ever.
Read. This. Book.. My mind is blown and I’ll never be the same
Loved the ending but a lil slow at times. Found myself obligated to keep reading at some points but the end is really good.
Intense. I need the next one ASAP. Read it one day. Amazing.
OMG!!!. honestly the best book i have read!!! loved every part of it
ALL TIME FAV SERIES!!. very fast paced and one of the few great romance books that are appropriate for younger readers!!
Not the best, but not the worst.. I felt like this story would never end and get to the point. A little slow and juvenile, but all in all a good story line. Cliff hanger at the end.
Just read it!. Love this book! I didn’t want it to end. Easy to read and leaves you wanting more
Wow.... Honestly, I bought this expecting it to be just a decent book that held my attention for a day or two. Well it DID only hold my attention for a day or two...because that’s how fast I read it. I needed the answers to this thrilling mystery, and the plot elements in this book are numerous! Fingers crossed we get a sequel! 🤞
Still Amazing a Second Time. I’ve read this book two times now. The first time was about a year ago. And the second: just now. For the most part I remembered what occurred throughout this book. I remembered: the plot twists and characters, etc. So this time I was able to really dive deeper and observe the clues with a mindset of already knowing what was going to happen. . . . If that makes any sense. Also I really like the short chapters. Though the first chapter was good it was the second and third (and every single one after) that got me hooked and kept me hooked. From the beginning it was fast-paced and something was always happening. There was always a new clue to be unturned. Tobias Taterswell Hawthorne is one complicated man, that is all I will say. Now I have to talk about the characters. Avery is such a strong lead and I LOVE how smart she is. She can easily keep up with the boys and she often finds the answers before they do. She stays true to herself even when the whole Hawthorne family is pitted against her. Grayson and Jameson: very well written. They were similar, but different. And the backstory with Emily just added the perfect touch to this story. The emotions were so raw and real. You could see how much the boys struggled throughout this book even though they tried not to show it. I haven’t read the next two books, but I hope to Tobias Hawthorne that they have a good ending. AND THE LOVE TRIANGLE! I don’t know who I want her to end up with. I want her to be with both, but if you’ve read it we both know the boys wouldn’t let that happen again. Xander is my favorite character. He is so intelligent and smart, but he always seems to get overlooked. With Nash being uninterested in their grandfathers riddles and Grayson and Jameson always teaming up, he was left alone. So that is why he always spent so much time eating scones with his grandfather. The ending was not what I expected with Xander. It was a shock even though I’ve already read this book because I forgot that happened . . . Alsoooo I just want to say that the clues and plot twists are exquisite. They will keep you on the edge of your seat til 3am. LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM. This review was a bit all over the place, but let me just say: If you are unsure whether to read this book or not let me tell you: READ IT. You may not love mystery or YA, but I personally believe this is a book everyone should read. Please read it, even if you don’t deem it five stars like I have you will not regret it.
Best book EVER. This book really just hit all my favorites in a book. Witty characters, great mystery with lots of questions to be answered, and an ending that leaves me wanting more. I have never had a book that gets all my wants done so perfectly. I haven’t been the same since it ended. Im reading more of Jennifer Lynn Barnes books to hold me down while I wait for the second book to come out on Tuesday.
Amazing!. I was immediately engulfed in this book from page 1. Mostly upset I finished it too quickly! I have been in a book lul for weeks and this amazing book so thankfully brought me out of it! Such a good twist at the end! Amazing!
