When eccentric billionaire Tobias Hawthorne leaves his multi-billion fortune — including all his properties — to Avery, a stranger who came from nothing — the Hawthorne Brothers are blindsided, to say the least: “What kind of person does that to their own flesh and blood?” Matters are complicated when Avery learns there’s one condition — she must move into Hawthorne House.
What a concept, and executed with page-turning aplomb as Avery and her new Hawthorne Brothers’ mansion-mates try to decipher the secrets and codes left by the late Tobias to find out why Avery was his chosen one.
Tense, twisty, and packed with puzzles, romance and the thrill of a high-stakes treasure hunt, Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ The Inheritance Games is an absolute riot of suspense and suspicion, setting up a series in satisfyingly tantalising style.

The Inheritance Games Synopsis
OVER 4 MILLION COPIES SOLD OF THE #1 BESTSELLING SERIES!
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.
