Review:

If you enjoyed the movie Knives Out, then there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy The Inheritance Games. Avery is summoned to attend a will reading and discovers she has inherited billions of dollars, properties, businesses, and more. The only issue? She’s never met this man, or his family, before!

This book follows the tale of Avery and various members of the Hawthorne family trying to solve various puzzles to reveal the answer of why she was chosen. The characters all have much different personalities, and feel fleshed out and realistic. There’s an unnecessary love “triangle” that feels quite shoehorned in at the end, and is my one criticism of this book, but otherwise the characters were all fun to read (Although I did get some confused a few times)

I don’t have much to say on this one – I just enjoyed it.
