About the Inheritance Games series

Jennifer Lynn Barnes's The Inheritance Games is an addictive YA mystery-thriller — think a teen "Knives Out." Ordinary teenager Avery Grambs inherits a billionaire's vast fortune from a man she's never met, on one condition: she must move into his puzzle-box mansion with his furious, gorgeous grandsons and unravel why he chose her.

The series is built on riddles, secrets, codes and slow-burn romance, with cliffhanger twists that make it impossible to stop reading. The Hawthorne family's games and the mystery of Avery's selection drive the addictive plot.

Read in order from "The Inheritance Games" — it's one continuous puzzle, with a follow-up series (The Brothers Hawthorne and beyond) extending the world.
