The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn BarnesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh thank you so much to @maestraw for telling me about this Jennifer Lynn Barnes mystery with a kick-ass heroine! Avery is a teen with thrills in her veins who loves to play chess and cards and strives for a scholarship to get to college, a sister with a lose boyfriend and still grieving over her mother's death. Receiving a summons to a reading of a will(someone she does not know!!!) Avery and Libby jet to Hawthorne House with Grayson, one of the four grandsons who live in the house and have played their grandfather's games, created inventions, solved riddles, solved puzzles. Now Tobias Hawthorne holds her up as the sole beneficiary of billions, staying in Hawthorne House for a year while everyone lives there and sifting through clues, puzzles, books with maze-like halls with contraptions and hidden halls and tunnels. Avery is now guarded 24 hours a day, with a law firm at her finger tips and lots of lies, secrecy, and betrayal. But you know Avery is up to it!!! I loved her mind for games, figuring out puzzles, riddles and hanging in despite almost everyone distrusting her. I can't wait for Book 2, what an ending, it is going to kill me to wait!!! Barnes once again crushes the mystery, she is the queen!
