I enjoyed it a lot!! I haven’t read a mystery in a while, and I actually didn’t even know that it was one hahaha, but it was very cute! And a very easy read/listen as well. I enjoyed the characters getting to know one another and I can’t wait for that to continue too! While I was able to guess some of the mysteries, it wasn’t all of them. And the bigger ones I didn’t know either. Very cute and very well written. Would definitely listen or read again, can’t wait to read the rest.

Premis menarik, tapi tidak dieksekusi dengan baik.
2,5/5 sebenarnya. 2 bintang terlalu kecil karena buku ini berhasil membuatku membaca sampai akhir (meskipun karena perasaan berharap akan menemukan sesuatu yang lebih), tapi sejujurnya, 3 bintang juga berlebihan, mengingat aku telah memberi 3 bintang untuk buku yang lebih menarik.
Aku berekspetasi akan menemui banyak "misteri", membaca sesuatu yang menegangkan, atau dibuat kagum setelah dengan bersusah payah berusaha memecahkan teka-teki yang ada.
Tidak. Ternyata aku tidak mendapatkan satupun dari ekspetasiku. Tidak sama sekali, sampai akhir.
Sayang sekali. Aku hanya seperti diajak bermain hide-and-seek, bedanya yang kucari adalah benda--atau bahkan angka. Dengan sedikit bumbu romansa, tetap saja terasa hambar.
Bagaimana aku mau membaca buku selanjutnya, kalau buku pertamanya saja gagal membuat penasaran?

“He left you the fortune, Avery, and all he left us is you.”
I wanted a change of genre and since it’s October, I ventured into mystery. This book is what the title says - an Inheritance Game. Avery is from the short end of the stick, meaning, her mom just died and now she lives with her step sister who’s getting beaten up by her boyfriend. Until she found out that she’s part of the billionaire Hawthorne’s will. The will dictates that she will inherit almost all if she is able to stay in their mansion for a year - together with the family who inherited almost nothing. We found out that this grandpa Hawthorne had laid out clues in order for the Hawthorne siblings to discover and uncover why Avery was included in the will.
It’s an interesting premise and a book I instantly devoured. I did not expect that there would be a side love triangle in the series too. To be honest, I’m kind of surprised Avery was attracted to Jameson, a drunkard who’s really confusing and is definitely hang up on his ex. But you do you girl. At some point, I just wanted to find out why she was included in the will and by the end, I did and it was a little anticlimactic for my taste. I still did enjoy the book though!

I really enjoyed this book. The puzzles, the mystery, the hints of a love triangle between Avery, Grayson, and Jameson. This reminds me of the Westing Game. There are some riddles that aren't solved by the end of the book, and some that are solved but not satisfactory. But overall enjoyable and can't wait for the sequel.
