When eccentric billionaire Tobias Hawthorne leaves his multi-billion fortune — including all his properties — to Avery, a stranger who came from nothing — the Hawthorne Brothers are blindsided, to say the least: “What kind of person does that to their own flesh and blood?” Matters are complicated when Avery learns there’s one condition — she must move into Hawthorne House.
What a concept, and executed with page-turning aplomb as Avery and her new Hawthorne Brothers’ mansion-mates try to decipher the secrets and codes left by the late Tobias to find out why Avery was his chosen one.
Tense, twisty, and packed with puzzles, romance and the thrill of a high-stakes treasure hunt, Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ The Inheritance Games is an absolute riot of suspense and suspicion, setting up a series in satisfyingly tantalising style.

She came from nothing. Avery has a plan: keep her head down, work hard for a better future. Then an eccentric billionaire dies, leaving her almost his entire fortune. And no one, least of all Avery, knows why.
They had everything. Now she must move into the mansion she's inherited. It's filled with secrets and codes, and the old man's surviving relatives - a family hell-bent on discovering why Avery got 'their' money.
Now there's only one rule: winner takes all. Soon she is caught in a deadly game that everyone in this strange family is playing. But just how far will they go to keep their fortune?
