really liked it
bookshelves: contemporary, mystery

Imagine this:

One night, you were just living and sleeping in your car. the next day, you're an heiress of a billionaire whom you don't even know. wow. what could go wrong?

*scoffs* so many things could.


Avery Kylie Grambs's life is literally like that. She was once a student, working very hard for her future and periodically living in her car. Then in a beat, a billionaire - Tobias Hawthorne - who she absolutely doesn't know, dies and leaves Avery his entire riches. 🤑

Here comes the bad news: Mr-stranger-billionaire-Hawthorne, also left Avery to deal with his whole complicated family, including his four grandsons. They see Avery as a mystery, a puzzle, a con-woman, and a case to be solved. With everything happening in her new dangerously wealthy life, which involves puzzles, riddles, and codes. Avery must play the game herself to survive.


~(buddy read with these awesome people: krizzie, ish, mash, lia, devika, and lucy!)~


The Inheritance Games is a mystery, contemporary book with a lot of mysteries to be solved, clues to follow, and a twisted family who has a bunch of secrets. This book had really made me guess such things🤔

I don't usually read a lot of mysteries, but this makes me wanna read more from this genre. It's a fast-paced and well-written book. The plot is also great and fetching, but it has some flaws. like the romance is missing and there's a part in the ending that doesn't quite satisfy me.


The main character, Avery, is likable. She's smart and curious. Although I couldn't quite relate to her, I like her so much! and imagine having her life, that would be sooo problematic.

The � interesting � Hawthorne brothers are also ones to look out for in this book. They were all pretty suspicious and at first, unlikable to me. However, I now find myself liking them a little bit. Nash is the eldest, he's interesting but sometimes meh.

Grayson, the "looks like a bad boy but deeply cares for you and has a sad story" and Jameson, the "pain in the ass, chaotic pretty boy who's so sweet and so cool" . I didn't like any of them at first tho but pshh, they are actually fun!

And Xander, my precious baby and must be protected at all cost (idk if he's the one needing protection tho). He is a living, breathing cute Rube Goldberg machine. He's my favorite Hawthorne and I love him veeryy much. and he's mine. Xander's mine heheh🥺

I also like Oren's character he excels at his job, and there'd be no other guard suitable to replace his job. Lastly, there are some characters i personally hated. For example, Thea, she's stubborn and kinda pretentious.

“Everything is something in Hawthorne House.�
Everything, I thought. And everyone.


Overall. I enjoyed reading this book a lot. Plus, the cover is stunning!waiting for the next book is really testing my patience. that cliffhanger!?? and i need to wait for 6 months?!? *sigh*
_

THAT WAS IT?!! I NEED MORE!
BTW, XANDER'S MINE 🥰

buddy read with my darling famm: Krizzie, Mash, Lucy, Lia, Devika and Ish <333 (they are currently on war on getting jamie and grayson!)

review to come.

Lucy Tonks (the invisible life of a reader) great review, charmie!

we are indeed at war


JAMESON AND GRAYSON ARE MINE AND ISH'S (krizzie i may be willing to share jameson with you if you help ish and me win against lia, maybe. we should also see what ish thinks about this, BUT WE SHALL DEFEAT LIA)

THE END

and i agree with krizz lia deserves only the grandpa😈 even nash is too good for her (if im not active for the next few days call the police, lia has most likely killed me)


Charmel THANK YOU ALL! 🥰♥️
