The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
5.0
Avery Kyli Grambs is doing everything she can to survive high school and make it to college where she will be able to get a degree and help herself and her older sister start to live a better life. She works multiple jobs and lives out of her car and does everything she can to keep her grades up enough to get into a good school. Even her life plan after school is practical. She wants to be an actuarial, not because it's fun, but because of the employment opportunities. So imagine Avery's surprise when she gets called down to the front office to find out she has been named in a will by a billionaire and left his entire estate, effectively taking the family's inheritance. The only stipulation is that she has to live in the billionaire's mansion for one year with the family she unintentionally robbed. Will she make it?
I loved this book so much. There are so few books that I literally couldn't put down but this was one of them. Trying to solve the mystery of why Avery was named in the will is so interesting and the author keeps the book moving along at a good pace with new complications and developments for Avery at every turn. I would recommend this to any lover of mystery. It gives me the same sort of feeling that Knives Out gave me when I watched it, only not all the heirs are bad and evil all the time. Excellent book, excellent enough to warrant a second reading for anything I might have missed the first time.
