The Inheritance Games is a deliciously twisted and engrossing, none stop roller coaster ride, that is impossible to put down.
Mystery, intrigue, angst, romance, and puzzles galore, it has it all. Blended together to make a fantastic and original read.
Jennifer Lynn Barnes is an absolute genius when it comes to crafting complex plots, that have so many layers and puzzles with them, you become breathless turning the pages with eager anticipation to solve the puzzles and mystery unfolding as if you are stood next to the characters as it all unfolds.
Absolutely fantastic read!

Honestly loved this one. It has real pace and page turning quality.Read this in one sitting. Liked Avery’s storyline and how each of the four brothers were fleshed out. Enjoyed the mysteries set in the rambling big mansion house and can’t wait to read the next one. My first Jennifer Lynn Barnes book and it won’t be my last. Off to hunt down more.

One of the most interesting, mysterious, romantic books I’ve ever read. I think that it should be 13+, though, but otherwise, the book was amazing and Amazon delivered it early! I couldn’t stop reading, the characters are always on my mind! Really wonderful writing I could not put it down!

Riddles, mystery and the very long game make this YA story so entertaining

Reviewed in Germany on 15 November 2020

J.L. Barnes did it again - her newest YA story is full of suspense that had me glued to the pages and mysterious characters that have loads of things to hide. Nothing and no one is as it seems.

The reader follows the 1st person POV of Avery Grambs. She just resigned herself to again live in her car after her half-sister took her on-off boyfriend in again, when she is told that billionaire Tobias Hawthorne left all his money to her. And that he disinherited his four grandsons and his two daughters. The one condition is that Avery spends one full year at Hawthorne Manor - together with the family who are not at all amused about the way things turned out.

And on these thrilling premises, the game starts. Avery soon discovers that there is more than just some rich man’s whim behind the inheritance and she is also very soon convinced that she and the grandsons need each other, if they want to discover what it all is about.

Avery is a likable character to follow around, just wide-eyed enough to behave believable in such a „Cinderella“ situation, but also cool and with deadpan responses that show that she is nobody’s pawn. I did not overly like her self-doubt, but I can also admit that it is in sync with how someone like her would react in such a situation.
In the end, she gets what she wanted out of the tracking down of Tobias‘s reasons (as did I) and I liked the premises for the next installment.
The thing I did not really like were the hints at romance and the love triangle vibes, but I did not hate it like I do in other books, because it actually fits the plot and isn’t too dominant (it especially does not impede Avery‘s good sense). All in all, another of Barnes’ thrilling YA stories that I devoured in just a few hours.
