The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

In this story, the choice wasn’t justified enough for me. If you don’t want to leave a third wheel hanging, something significant most happen to that character as to become the chosen or unchosen.

Triangles can be quite complicated to solve in a story. When you thought this is it, there was something lacking. I didn’t get to really fall in love with any of the possibilities. The push and pull among them is confusing. As I mentioned before, there’s some magnetism between Avery and two of the Hawthorne brothers. Romantic-wise, it wasn’t that satisfying. A mansion full of secret passages, invisible ink, hidden compartments, poems with answers… Ingenious teenager minds ready and committed to unlock whatever needs to be unlocked… CSI meets a bit of Locke & Keys within a Narnia closet-without the fantasy part. Puzzle-wise I enjoyed watching the characters play Tobias Hawthorne game. As the story evolves, so do the magnetism, unanswered questions, secrets from the past, and threats. Nevertheless, she grows closer to two of the Hawthorne brothers. Is she a gold digger? Who is she? Why was she chosen as heir? Meanwhile, Avery joins their quest to find answers. So, used to games and solving enigmas, Avery has become their new puzzle. The Hawthorne brothers, Tobias’s grandsons, grew up under his grandfather’s tutelage. However, she might be surrounded now by enemies, or is she not? She needs to live in Hawthorne House-a secret-maze kind of place-for a year in order to access her inheritance. When Tobias Hawthorne, fictional version of Jeff Bezos dies, teenager Avery Grams, an apparently nobody, inherits almost all his patrimony. “ The Inheritance Games” is a mystery/romance book series that revolves around solving complicated puzzles and riddles. However, as it’s so highly rated I decided to open a wildcard category within my monthly reviews. Read my full review below!
