It was good! A little on the nose sometimes? And I’ll be frl I’m not the biggest fan of the romance element? But big fan of Mr. Hawthorne!! ( also Alexander and Nash kind of slay in their own way Tbf )

I loved this. 

I feel like I knew what was going to happen and then it wouldn't be that. and there were things that I was like "I feel like this person or thing is going to be important" and then I would be like "oh nvm, maybe it's not" AND THEN IT WOULD BE. and there were parts where I couldn't even put the book down because it got so interesting. I think this was a really good book.

I'm also low-key in love with Grayson and Jameson (and pretty much all the Hawthorne brothers but specially Grayson hehe).

I loved Avery although I do think she wasn't that good of a friend (specially to Max) through a lot of the book but I have a feeling she's gonna get better.

and I also think the grandfather of the boys was a lil creepy and weird lmao but that didn't affect my experience with this book at all. 

ALSO THAT ENDING?????

can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Avery Grambs has plans to finish high school and get a scholarship. However, everything changes when the billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves his entire fortune to Avery. Avery has never heard of Tobias and she doesn’t know why he disinherited his two daughters and four grandsons for a stranger. Avery and Libby, her older sister and guardian, have to travel to Texas to claim her inheritance, but the catch is that she must live on his estate for a year with his family before the estate officially belongs to her. Tobias loved puzzles so the entire estate is filled with puzzles, including the answers to why he left everything to Avery. With the help of his four grandsons, Avery has to explore this new world of wealth and danger to figure out why she was named heir. 

I had a feeling I would like this story but I had no idea I would become so hooked on it. As soon as I finished this book, I ordered the rest of the series. This story was intriguing, with Avery’s seemingly random turn of fortune, but it was also suspenseful. Avery’s life was in danger since everyone around her could be out to get her for her money. Plus there were lots of fun riddles and puzzles throughout the story. 

The Inheritance Games is such a great story! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Ykno it was a lot of fun. I read it in one sitting. Xander melts my heart, makes me sob.
Not 5 stars because I guessed one of the big plot twists but I still enjoyed it a lot
