Today is my stop on the blog tour for The Inheritance Games!
The Inheritance Games is utterly addictive! I could not stop thinking about this book whenever I had to (forcibly, much against my will) put it down.
Avery's life is turned upside down when she discovers she is the heir to a multi-billion dollar fortune, left to her by a man she has never met. A man who has four grandsons who have grown up with everything, and have now been left with nothing. But Tobias Hawthorne was fond of games and puzzles, and some of his grandsons are sure there must be more to the will, and Avery, than meets the eye. Secrets are exposed and betrayals laid bare as Avery and the Hawthornes race to uncover the secrets Tobias left behind. But with billions of dollars in the balance, Avery will have to decide if she's ready to risk her life and play.
The premise of this novel is so crazy that it's impossible not to ask yourself what you would do if you were Avery.
The Inheritance Games is full of twists and puzzles, with concealed corridors and secrets relationships revealed in every chapter. I guessed some twists but not others, and there was always some new mystery to keep me turning the page.
Barnes' characters were excellent. Everyone was complex and full of secrets, and there was so much backstory to uncover. Avery is very relatable and I think readers will really like her. She's also never focused on the money itself, and only considers buying things for other people. The chemistry between Avery and the Hawthorne boys was brilliant, but I liked that romance was definitely secondary to the mystery in this novel. I really loved Max and her inventive swearing. Her bits made me laugh a lot. I also loved Xander and his scone addiction and all of the other funny moments he brought to the novel.
