The Inheritance Games

One girl. A billionaire’s fortune. A deadly game of riddles, secrets, and survival.

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a fast-paced, twisty YA mystery packed with puzzles, family drama, and a touch of romance. When ordinary high schooler Avery Grambs unexpectedly inherits the billion-dollar fortune of eccentric tycoon Tobias Hawthorne, her life changes overnight. But there’s one catch: to claim the money, she must move into his sprawling, secret-filled mansion—and live alongside the very family he disinherited.

The Hawthorne brothers are brilliant, dangerous, and not exactly thrilled by Avery’s sudden appearance. As she’s pulled into a high-stakes game of clues and cryptic messages, Avery must use her wits to survive—and uncover why she was chosen. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that in this game, everyone has something to hide.

This must-read YA thriller is perfect for fans of Knives Out, One of Us Is Lying, and clever, character-driven mysteries. The Inheritance Games is the best book for readers who love secrets, strategy, and a heroine who refuses to be anyone’s pawn.
