❀ An Entertaining SeriesĪs a series, I found The Inheritance Games entertaining the whole way through. I especially enjoyed following along as Avery solves the many puzzles throughout the series and the ways she must work together with the Hawthorne brothers to uncover the truth behind her inheritance. Because Avery is thrown into the centre of attention, it is difficult for her to know who she can trust as danger lurks wherever she goes, but she stays strong and committed to solving each riddle. Her life becomes chaotic as she goes from living in her car to living in a mansion with a billion-dollar inheritance waiting for her, and she adapts to her environment well. I enjoyed Avery’s character, and she is a great narrator for the series. However, the more Avery learns about the Hawthornes, the more she believes that there is more to Tobias’s will and her inheritance than she initially thought–making her a player in a mysterious game as she must figure out why Tobias chose her. In order to receive her inheritance, Avery must move into Hawthorne House with the family for one year. However, when she receives the news that billionaire Tobias Hawthorne has left his entire fortune to her, despite the fact that Avery has never met him, her life is flipped upside down. Since her mother’s death, Avery Grambs has been living with her half-sister and working as much as she can to eventually finish high school and go off to college. Series Review: The Inheritance Games, Jennifer Lynn Barnes Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed.


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. The catch? Avery has no idea why - or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out.
