Traps upon traps. And riddles upon riddles.

A must read for those who likes their thrillers with puzzles and riddles
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5The inheritance games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is the first book in the series. Avery, a teenager, unexpectedly inherits a billionaire’s fortune. To claim it, she must solve puzzles and riddles left behind by the late Tobias Hawthorne, all while dealing with his disinherited family, including four enigmatic grandsons. It’s filled with twists, secrets, and high-stakes mind games.First of all, this is not my usual genre. I mostly read cute, rom com, toe curling stuff. To my surprise, I loved it! It is so engaging that, once you start it, you would struggle to put it down!Each and every character in this story is so interesting, that you won't ever get confused about who is who at any time in the story. It doesn't matter how small a character is, you won't be able to brush them away! And the puzzles and riddles... OMG! You will find yourself trying to solve the mysteries with Avery!The inheritance games is an engaging mystery thriller, apt for any age group (irrespective of it being young-adult).

I want the second book right now!!! (No spoilers)
This book is about a teen named Avery, who leads a low life, scraping through and all of a sudden she's become a heiress to a billionare's fortune and the stranger part is that she is the one who gets the most of the property. The rest of the book is about why she was in the will of an unknown family and as to what is the connection between her and that family along with some puzzles and a love triangle.The book grabbed my attention from the first page itself and I was hooked to it like anything till the last page. The strange thing here is the book has 91 chapters. Unbelievable! But it's ok as each chapter is of three or four pages only. The characters were very, very interesting and mysterious especially the Hawthorne brothers. Avery made a good protogoanist for this book. The story went well and there were some secrets that were revealed here. This book is more like suspense and secrets and lies more than the mystery and thrills.You may find the book to be little incomplete and pieces-pieces type but don't get too frustrated about it because I hope the second book will tie it all up.If you want a mix of YA and puzzles/mystery, this book is for you.

Perfect for mystery book lovers
This book is the definition of perfection. This book kept me hooked all the time.Short chapters which I loved. I loved how the mystery keeps on going until the last page.I loved all the characters which have their own unique introductions and tag line. I loved how the anagram of a very risky gamble was Avery Kylie Grambs aka the main character. I loved how every character was given such few words charchterstics which tells us about the whole character. Jennifer Lynn Barnes is an amazing author. I loves the whole series. The plot was new to me. Loved the Avery-Jameson ship. The love triangle was amazingly written with perfection.I will recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery books with a subplot of romance.A seven star book overall. Can't express my love for the whole series enough.
