I really enjoyed this book, but it had its flaws, hence my 4.25 stars given to it. I feel like most of the mysteries in this book were super easy to solve right off the bat, & that kind of frustrated me. Other than that, it was fast-paced & fun read. I picked it up yesterday, & finished it the next.

Kind of like an updated The Westing Game (though I read that years ago, so forgive my memory), and thoroughly enjoyable. Totally intrigued by the characters, would probably be really easy/interesting to adapt to the screen. Will keep reading the series!

3.5

This is not the type of mystery that the reader could piece together and solve, since a lot of the clues involve characters finding hidden compartments and passageways, or the characters only share the information needed to solve the next puzzle as they're solving it - it's not a whodunnit in that way. But it's entertaining and I read it really fast to find out what would happen!

I purchased this series as a FairyLoot exclusive, and I have been dying to see what all of the craze is about.
"The Inheritance Games" follows Avery Grambs, the seemingly luckiest girl in the world. Avery has had a difficult life, but she is determined to keep her head down, work hard, and make it out of her town to make something of herself. Her whole life gets uprooted when she discovers that she has become the heir to Tobias Hawthorne's entire massive fortune. But Avery has no idea who Tobias is or why he left her his fortune. With a whole slew of Hawthornes who feel slighted at being cut out of the will, Avery has made some enemies. Can she uncover why she was left the fortune?
This was a really fast-paced and fun read. I loved the lighthearted mystery and all of the riddles presented throughout the book. It felt like the reader could play along with Avery to try and uncover what is really going on at the Hawthorne estate.
I really enjoy Avery as a character. She is so smart and independent. She may not be a Hawthorne, but she really fits into this world. I also love that she stays down to earth. Alot of teenagers who get massive wealth may find themselves unable to responsibly handle all of this money and power, but Avery stays true to who she is an does not seem to let the money change her.
I am hooked, and I cannot wait to continue this story and figure out what is going on.
