The Inheritance Games is a captivating mystery novel following the journey of Avery Kylie Grambs, an ordinary teenager who mysteriously inherits billions of dollars from a man she has never met. The only condition to claiming this fortune is to live in the Hawthorne mansion for one full year with the jealous and dangerous relatives of the late billionaire.

This novel is filled with mysteries and puzzles, making it a suspenseful read. The well-written book has an adventurous plot that hooks you into the story, as if you are solving the puzzles alongside the characters. 

In addition, my favourite elements in this story are the character dynamics and character development that takes place as the plot progresses. There are many different characters with unique personalities. As a reader, I had a lot of fun getting to know these characters and recognizing their roles in this complex story. 

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who’s looking for a fun and captivating story with dynamic characters, as well as a thrilling plot filled with mysteries, puzzles, and drama.
