I really liked reading this book. It was a super easy read and since the chapters were so short I basically read the whole thinks in one day. All the characters have a compelling nature to them, and you never really know who to trust. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

This book is so amazing and it is a little predictable but there is some stuff I would have never been able to predict. It was a ride and fun to read and everything ties together at times it can be a little slow buuut it picks back up and is impossible to put down near the end

This book gave me life. I could feel myself slipping into a slump but this book grabbed my hand and pulled me out. Avery Kylie Grambs was just another kid stuck in the world of poverty with a deadbeat dad and mother who passed. She was living with her half sister to get by while she finished high school with plans to get out of town quick. However, billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves EVERYTHING to Avery with no explanation as to why. The biggest piece of the puzzle, she's never met the man in her life.....or so she thought.

The Inheritance Games is FULL of twists and turns and puzzles and riddles. It will make you go mad because you just cannot read fast enough. Avery is thrown into this mansion in Texas with the family of the deceased who was robbed of their inheritance by this 17 year old girl. No one knows why the old man left her everything but Avery and the four grandsons are on a mission to find out. I was a tad worried this was going to be some weird reverse harem but thankfully it did not end up that way.

I feel like for the first time in a while, I actually like the main character. She is thrown into a horrendous situation and comes out stronger for it and actually tries to grow. She has her whiny my life is horrible moment but her best friend Max helps bring her out of it. Max is definitely my favorite character. Despite having such a strict family (think Lane from Gilmore Girls) she does what she can to help her friend stay sane and set her straight. The grandsons each have their own quirks. I like all of them except Nash. The rest of the family, nah. They can buzz off.

Anywhooo this book will give your life and make you crazy. I binged both books 1 and 2 in 4 days and am already DYING for book 3.
