THERAPY!!! THERAPY FOR ALL OF YOU!
my thoughts (mild spoilers ahead)
• i ain't never seen four emotionally intelligent brothers. two of them always gotta have unaddressed trauma.
• the young adult threshold for personality is in HELL. all you need to do is give your teenage main character a vaguely tragic past, enough stubbornness to allow her to mildly bump heads with love interests every once in a while, a weakness for hot emotionally unavailable rich boys, and a best friend of color to carry things (for flavor).
• not this billionaire secretly surveilling a low income teenage girl for most of her adolescence while she's struggling to stay afloat and literally living out of her car? taking and saving photos of her without her knowledge? and hoarding his wealth all the while? while she's barely scraping by? until the day he dies and finally decides—now that he no longer needs that wealth—it'll all go to her in exchange for using her as a pawn in his family's trauma olympics? GUILLOTINE!
• LIKE? ARE YOU DERANGED? JUST HIRE A FAMILY THERAPIST? YOU LITERALLY HAVE EVERY RESOURCE AT YOUR DISPOSAL?
• i clocked the endgame from the moment the hawthorne brothers were introduced, which is always irritating, because love triangles only really work (at least for me) when there seems to be a genuine struggle to decide between two equally interesting, three dimensional characters.
• not to get into semantics, but if faced with a choice between two rich white boys, why NOT PICK THE ARTISTIC PHILANTHROPIST? WHO IS GENTLE AND FORGIVING? AND WASN'T PLAYING A BULLSHIT HOT AND COLD GAME WITH AVERY'S HEART BECAUSE HE IS EMOTIONALLY UNHINGED WITH THE MENTAL MATURITY OF A 13 YEAR OLD GTA GAMER?
• this is how all of jameson and avery's interactions went:
"can you point me to the bathroom?" i asked.
"he who leaves the game, loses, heiress," he said.
"please, i really have to pee, can you just—"
"the ball always looks for the best player," he replied with the glint of a grin, cutting me off.
"jameson, please—"
"play alone and you’re bound to win, mystery girl."
• THIS MAN DID NOT HAVE A PERSONALITY. HE WAS JUST A TRENCH COAT OF FORTUNE COOKIE QUOTES. FLEXED HIS ABS A LITTLE AND CALLED IT A DAY.
• the amount of times the narrator repeats lines of dialogue verbatim in her head did in fact give me a migraine.
• xander was the best brother—a puppy, if you will—and i stand by that.
• this was textbook young adult in that i could feel the plot mechanics moving as i zipped through the pages.
the inheritance games is very much a predictable "mystery" that ended up slowed down by the tediousness of a love triangle i still don't really buy.
• HOW OLD IS AVERY? are we ever gonna ask that? because she's interacting romantically with adult men as a minor? just wondering hehe
• on that note, this concept would have been so much better if the characters were
all college-aged. imagine the shock, the intrigue, the comedy of a low income, jeff bezos-hating college student with loans out the ass suddenly coming into billions? and having to live with two hot white guys? this concept is a lot funnier than it was written. buying into a high school girl solving a billionaire's years-long puzzle and catching the attention of the 18 + 19 year old brothers while she's at it is just a bit too much of a stretch, even for ya.
• i also can't get over the whole emily subplot. this book was literally just....avery: Mf's be in relationships with their dead cheating Gf for like 3-5 years π like damn other ppl wanna date you too πβοΈβοΈππ€£ and for most of the novel, that is exactly how jameson and grayson act. then 75% in, jameson suddenly changes his tune and goes the whole "i actually don't care about emily at all despite constant references to and comparisons between you and her” route. like, okay, buddy.
having said all of that, yes, i will be picking up book two for gay ally and HoC (Hawthorne of Color) xander.

I found this book absolutely delightful. Exactly the fast-paced, entertaining escape I was looking for!
Comparisons to
Knives Out were pretty accurate, though that says nothing about all the puzzles, riddles, and pretty guys that make The Inheritance Games virtually unputdownable. I don't care that that one twist was obvious-- everything about the journey of this book was delicious!
The Inheritance Games follows Avery Grambs, a poor orphaned girl with a plan to work hard, get into a good school, and leave her shitty life behind forever. But then something unbelievable happens. Billionaire Tobias Hawthorne leaves his fortune to Avery in his will, even though Avery has never met him, never seen him, and, as far as she knows, has no link to him whatsoever.
Even stranger, the will sets out a series of odd requirements. One being that Avery must spend at least one year in Hawthorne house, the family manor, and that she must allow Tobias's disinherited family to live there with her. Talk about awkward. And maybe even dangerous.
Hawthorne House is a sprawling mansion of hidden passageways and dark secrets. The more time Avery spends there, the more she becomes convinced that the will, the letter she received alongside it, and the house are all clues to something bigger; that Tobias Hawthorne is playing a game from beyond the grave.
Add to this Tobias's angry daughters, the media who won't leave her alone, and the four Hawthorne grandsons (Nash, who wants to take care of everyone, Grayson, the enigmatic businessman, Jameson, the adventurous rebel, and playful Alexander) and it's clear Avery is in way over her head. Unlucky for her; pretty thrilling for me, honestly.
I love puzzles and riddles. In fact, I don't usually enjoy YA mystery because I can never understand why they decide to be detectives and don't call the police, but here it makes a lot more sense because Avery and the Hawthorne brothers are not crime-solving, they are
puzzle-solving. It's very fun.
Also, I sound about twelve years old, but, hell, do I love me some short chapters π
There may be a love triangle brewing here, if that's something that bothers you. It's not totally clear, but it is suggested that there's something between Avery and more than one of the Hawthorne brothers. Still, I don't care when a book is this enjoyable.

This was like 0% what I had been expecting, but it was super cool! I was sent this unsolicited and had thought it was a fantasy, and then I kept hearing a lot of buzz about it and thought it was like a competition thing, but it's more like a puzzle game, kind of like Clue. It was really interesting to try and put together the pieces of the mysterious puzzle. The story is filled with questions from the beginning and as you get answers, you also get more questions. The biggest question is why and I enjoyed watching Avery and the disinherited grandsons puzzle that out. The setting of Hawthorne House was really cool. It was a great backdrop for all the puzzles and riddles of the story. I also liked how there wasn't an overload of intense action scenes. It was a really interesting mind game more so with lots of inaction, if that makes sense. I had thought this was a standalone when reading it but I think I will definitely check out the sequel because as much as I think it provided a satisfying enough conclusion, there are still some things I'm interested in. Overall this was a really unique mystery and I had a great time reading it! It also reads incredibly fast, so that was a plus. I think a combination of the writing and the fact that you're kept on the edge of your seat wanting to know what's going on makes it a breeze to get through.

Rating this solely based on how much fun I had buddy reading this with my friend, cuz screw it, why not? This is a fun Cinderella story tailored specifically for anyone who enjoys Knives Out, reverse harems, and wish fulfillment stories for poor girls. There's just something satisfying about seeing a poor humble girl get a buttload of money while the rich don’t get anything. The mystery was surprisingly compelling: there were so many questions brought up, and every time there was a new development or answer, it would only unlock even more questions?! (“THIS MAKES NO DAMN SENSE! Compels me though…”) I also surprisingly liked all of the characters; they all have strong personalities, unique qualities, and fun dialogue. Though I don’t buy the instant attraction some of the characters have with each other, the dynamics and relationships between them are interesting enough for me to not mind it. I would definitely be open to reading the sequel.

Traps upon traps . . . and riddles upon riddles.
Yes! Except, no. The thing is, if you're going to promise me puzzles and riddles, you'd better deliver. And
The Inheritance Games fell way short.
Avery is your standard teenager trying to get through high school when she receives news that billionaire Tobias Hawthorne has died and left her almost his entire fortune. The only stipulation is that she must move into his mansion and live there for one year. When she arrives, she meets the enigmatic family, including his four handsome grandsons. But it's all rather awkward since the old devil disinherited them all. Soon though, she realizes that he's got one more trick up his sleeve and it's up to her to figure it out.
At first, this story reminded me of
Knives Out, probably my favorite whodunnit film of all time. They both have the wealthy old man kicking the bucket and leaving his fortune to an outsider, along with a mystery/puzzle to solve. But that's where the similarities between the two end, and unfortunately, so did my enjoyment.
At the very least, I expected the majority of this book to be about the puzzle that Avery is supposed to solve. But that was such a small part, and it was unnecessarily convoluted. Reading about her searching through every book and desk and tree on the property doesn't really quicken my pulse with excitement. And the end result is so lame, I forgot it almost as soon as I read it.
Instead, the majority of this book is spent on very immature interpersonal drama between Avery and the ten other teenagers in here (the four brothers, her sister and her sister's ex, her only friend, and three other girls). If that sounds like a lot of people, I assure you, it was.
None of the characters have real personalities, so I had a hard time keeping straight who was who. Especially among the four brothers, it felt like they were all approximately the same person, just slightly apart in age. They all spoke in the same ostentatious way and all seemed to have varying degrees of crushes on Avery.
In fact, the romances in here really confused me. It seems like every teenager was in some sort of romantic entanglement/flirtation with every other teenager. There were so many implied love triangles and quadrangles, I really just didn't get it. Why is all this in here, other than to fluff out the pages?
The other thing that really got on my nerves is the dialogue. It's somehow both bland and pretentious. It's basic as can be, but presented as if it's some sort of witty repartee worth savoring. Then to further rub salt in the wound, random dull sentences are treated like epiphanies, italicized and repeated over and over, just so the reader wouldn't miss it when they come across it for the tenth time.
Unfortunately, this was a case of overpromising and underdelivering. The best part of the book was the premise and initial pages. As I read on, the mind-numbing dialogue and YA melodrama/romance between all the characters really grated on me. Add to that the underwhelming conclusion, and I'm sorry to say that this is really not for me. Maybe if I were still a teenager, I would enjoy this more. But that's too many decades in the past for me to remember now.
As an aside, if you've never seen
Knives Out, I totally recommend it. It's absolutely fabulous and actually lives up to the premise. Imagine that.

Ever since I heard this book was supposed to be like
Knives Out, I was super interested, since that's one of my favorite movies of all time for its brilliant plotting, complex characters, sympathetic protagonist, and brilliant satire about class stratification in the U.S. Obviously with a comparison like that, a book has huge boots to fill and sadly, I'm not sure THE INHERITANCE GAMES can really hack it. If anything, it's more like a modern, reverse-harem version of THE WESTING GAME, but since that book is older (from the 1970s) and more obscure, I guess such a comparison won't sell as many copies.
Avery is a poor teenager who lives with her older sister who is constantly in this off again, on again thing with an abusive boyfriend. One day, she finds out she's become the heiress to one of the nine biggest fortunes in the world-- even though she's pretty sure she has no relation to the eccentric billionaire. So why her? That's what everyone else in the family would like to know, too.
I really forced myself to keep reading because I thought the beginning was really interesting, but I quickly began to get bored, as you can see from my status updates. The romance felt forced and I wasn't as amazed by the "puzzles" as my friends seem to be, and I thought the "twist" at the end was hugely anticlimactic and disappointing. I really don't care about any of these characters and I don't think I'll be reading the sequel. Younger readers will probably enjoy this but I couldn't suspend my disbelief.

A+ idea, D execution. What a letdown.
I wanted a puzzles and riddles and games. I wanted questions with seemingly impossible, shocking answers. I wanted a posse of fascinating, well-developed characters with secrets. I wanted complicated, dramatic romantic entanglements and family drama in spades.
Instead,
The Inheritance Games is slow and a tad dull, light on the puzzles and "games." The drama feels forced and I never felt engaged with the characters. In fact, Avery's two potential "love interests," brothers Grayson and Jamison are indistinguishable. Until the very end, I was at a loss who was who and what I was supposed to know about each of them. Which makes it difficult to feel anything but apathy when the romantic tension comes to a head.
And then there's the lackluster ending with a "twist" I did not care about and a cliffhanger (apparently this is a series for some baffling reason) that left me frustrated. Why did I waste my time on this book if I was going to get zero resolution? There is not enough plot here for more books. Hello, cash grab.
How disappointing.

you know the saying ‘time flies when youre having fun?’ thats the best way i can describe reading this. it felt like i had just started it when all of a sudden it was over. i could have easily read another 300 pages of this.
as everyone is saying, this has a very
‘knives out’ meets
‘truly devious’ vibe with a little bit of
‘paper princess’ thrown in there. its fun, full of riddles and games, all wrapped around a mysterious inheritance. its honestly better than i was expecting it to be.
im also so glad i realised this is the first book in a series, because i was about to go off about that ending. there are so many questions that are left unanswered, so im relieved to know the story will continue because my curiosity is going haywire!

“If there's one thing the Hawthorne family isn't, it's fine. They were a twisted, broken mess before you got here, and they'll be a twisted, broken mess once you're gone.”
I still can't get over that Avery just
randomly got called to inherit a billionaire's fortune?? How awesome is that? You don't even know said billionaire and have never come across anyone close to them and yet you get all the money that was originally all supposed to go to his grandsons???
I couldn't stop laughing when that happened. They were sooo pissed it was hilarious. Although I can't blame them, I would've wanted to
kill her... which is probably why she got all those
death threats-
ouch.
I love Avery. She's literally so smart and the way she wouldn't let her personal feelings get in the way in trying to find solve the case was really admirable. Also, being able to
show no emotion on her face?? I wish I could do that -- it sounds so cool and it'd be really useful for me during those games of chess
i lose.
And
Jameson ahhh Jamie my bbyπ₯Ί demon mashie mentioned how he gives off
Matthew Fairchild vibes and seriously why is that so true??? TLH has gotten to us smh.
But anyways, I'm in love with his chaoticness
(thats not a word) ughh I'm seeing a trend in the type of guys I keep falling for.
i mean, he's like matthew so how could i not love him?? Getting drunk to run away from his problems and acting like a maniac even sober... I love it. And the way he talked omg-
"If I do what I should no more often than I say what I shouldn't—" his lips twisted—"then what does that make me?"
I had no idea what he was saying here?? Although he was drunk, so maybe that's why, but ohmygod I literally
spent 10 minutes trying to understand that sentence. god i love jamie.π₯Ί
oh what a coincidence that he has the same nickname as james herondale...okay ill stop nowOkay, and then there's the broody older brother,
Grayson, who I absolutely
despised at first, but he's actually so sweet??? I can't blame him for always putting his family first sdfsdfs what is this? Me falling in love with two potential love interests for the love triangle?? oh no, not good, not good. *cries* is it too much to ask for both of them to be happy?
There was also
Nash, the oldest brother of the 4, but I don't like him. There's something off about him and I just cant with him. Now
Xander, the youngest one, is such a sweet cinnamon roll. The bright and happy one of the group... or so it seems. Who knows? I definitely can't wait to see more of him next book hehe
“Sometimes things that appear very different on the surface are actually exactly the same at their core.”
This
has to be the first time that one of the first few guesses I made ended up being right?? I am beyond shocked. This needs to be marked in history. I, Lia
Demonstairs, have actually guessed correctly.
ah, this feeling... so satisfying. But anyways, I had it from the beginning but throughout the book I kept changing
because everyone was acting so sus. smh I still don't know who to trust!! what is this sorcery??
And that twist at the end --
Dear Authors, you
cannot just end a book like that. You're literally killing us. And when we die, we cant read the 2nd book, and when we cant read the book, that hurts you so in the end we both suffer, right? So why not take pity on our poor mortal souls and not end it like that?? Thank you.

Since her Mom passed away, Avery Grambs has had a rough go of it. She's been living with her half-sister, working as much as she can, while also trying to finish high school.
Avery wants to go to college, but at this rate, she's going to need to qualify for every scholarship known to man in order to be able to attend.
Making matters worse is the fact that her sister, Libby, as sweet as she is, has terrible taste in men. When her on-again-off-again boyfriend comes around, Avery goes as far as sleeping in her car to avoid him.
On a day that Avery is just about at the end of her rope, she receives an unbelievable invitation.
She is asked to attend the reading of the last will and testament of one, Tobias Hawthorne, an eccentric billionaire.
Without explanation, the recently deceased elder Hawthorne, decided to leave almost his entire estate to Avery. The only catch is, she needs to move into the extravagant Hawthorne House and live there continuously for a full year.
Sure, that sounds easy enough, but also residing in the manse are the family members that Tobias basically disinherited in favor of Avery. As you can imagine, they're not happy.
His four grandsons and their mother are understandably puzzled by the whole turn of events. Is Avery possibly a con-woman of some sort, come to steal their vast fortune?
Particularly intriguing to Avery, who is positive she's not a con-woman and entirely innocent of conspiring in this strange twist of fate, are Grayson and Jameson Hawthorne.
The two handsome brothers keep her fairly well occupied during her time in Hawthorne House. There's riddles, puzzles and games of all sorts, as they try to get to the bottom of the mystery behind the infamous Will.
I had a lot of fun with this story. It completely sucked me in. It was easy to sympathize with Avery and root for her once she started living at Hawthorne House.
The puzzles and riddles were super engaging. I loved that aspect; trying to figure it all out along with the characters.
I also enjoyed the hint of danger threaded throughout. Who was angry enough to try to take Avery out?
Inheritance stories are always fun for me; it's just a trope I tend to really enjoy. Family drama and secrets, backstabbing, plotting, revenge, confessions; it's a good time. What else can I say?
If you are looking for a fun and fast-paced YA-Mystery, with twist and turns galore, as well as intriguing and suspicious characters, you should definitely give this one a shot!
I am really looking forward to continuing on with this trilogy. Oh, the places it could go!

“Sometimes things that appear very different on the surface are actually exactly the same at their core.”
my spotify playlist Disclaimers: 1. If you haven't read the book and want to, but don't want any spoilers, please don't read any further. It seems like I can't restrain myself when it comes to write a review without any single spoiler. I'm sorry, I didn't ask for this, lmao.
2. I'm sorry in advance because I tend to deviate from the main topic, like a lot.
A lot. While I was taking a shower and cutting my hair (this is what happens when you leave me alone for like 10 minutes with my own thoughts and with scissors very close), I had the time of writing my review in my mind because I'm the kind of person who has to do like 2 or 3 things at the same time or I get desperate. Multitasking? Perhaps. Let's call it like that.
So, let's begin because there's a lot to unpack.
I read a couple of reviews without spoilers saying that this book was like Knives Out and I
really love Knives Out, so I picked it up and hoped for the best... Well, well, well, look how it turned out.
Avery Grambs is a common girl with a common YA life: absent parents, average girl with average appearance, a really smart student. So, everything's fine here. Until one day, she's summoned to Hawthorne House because it turns out that Avery inherits all the money that Tobias Hawthorne has in his will. A random girl with no connection or memories of Tobias Hawthorne is inheriting his entire fortune, like 100B dollar. (Holy shit, the amount of books that I'd buy with that money!)
But the thing is that everyone is asking who the hell is Avery Grambs, where did she come from? Why is Tobias Hawthorne picking her to inherit all of his money? Is there something special with this girl?
The plot: I can't complain a lot. To be a mystery book, it was fine.
Just fine. There wasn't anything special or that blew my mind and that you found me saying "holy shit, I didn't see that coming", because I honestly could guess many things, lmao. It was fast paced, which was cool. The beginning tho wasn't so gripping and interesting as I thought: it was rather boring and I really thought of dnf at chapter 13 or so, lmao.
However, there were many things that felt off for me. Like for example, how some chapters jumped to another things/situations totally different from the last chapter. Like we didn't have a proper closure or knew how things ended up. I don't know if I'm explaining myself because it seems like I suck at explaining, yikes.
The end of the book left me "???" because I had right one of my theories: Toby is alive. But, Toby being Harry was something that came out of the blue, why? Oh, because we didn't have any clue about it! I can't think of any clue that links Harry with being Toby, at all. My two theories for this (in the second book) is that he escaped to that fire to become a "regular" guy, or that he had a plan with his father, Tobias, I don't know to this point. This was really messy.
Characters: Avery: I don't hate her, tbh, but I'm not a big fan of bland girls. I found out that my girl over here and I share MBTI: we are INTJ. I'm not saying that I could have solved those puzzles really quick like she did, but, it doesn't seem a little bit... easy? I felt it that way, tho. (For being INTJ myself, I'm not like a smart person when it comes to numbers, that's why I picked up literature as my career, lol, but I love solving some problems) I don't know how to explain this, but I felt like everything was so easy for Avery and the Hawthorne brothers. I also want to know more of Avery, that she stands up for herself and stop being so bland. Honey, you're better than this, I know that.
Jameson: I kind of liked him... Until I didn't. I came to totally dislike him. One moment he was okay for me and then he was being a total jerk. He was boring as hell. The only line where I agreed with thim was with this:
"Where are you going?"
"Hell, eventually".
Otherwise, I was rolling my eyes everytime he appeared. The kiss scene was really weird and awkward to me. Also, very disappointing. Jameson wasn't really thinking in Avery when he kissed her AFTER ALMOST BEING SHOT (I say almost because the Drake missed it and hit the tree). No, my dude over here was thinking about the mystery and possibly on Emily. He became grumpy towards the end just to give Grayson the space and chance to make his move with Avery.
Grayson: I was hesitant with him being a total asshole. But I get it: he wanted to protect his family. I wanted to beat the shit out of him on the first chapters... And then, I was like "he's hot" and started to questioning myself about this fact. However, he, as his brothers and Avery, felt bland. Like, c'mon, dude, have a little more of personality. His lasts scenes with Avery, the romantic ones, were so random for me. One moment he was saying "stay away from my family" and the next one he was saying "I'm going to protect you". LIKE WHAT, HOW??
Xander; Nash: They were actually my favorite characters, lmao. Xander is my favorite favorite (yes, x2), he's such a cutie and I kind of saw coming that he knew his grandpa's plan/game to keep them together. For me, it was very obvious since the moment that Xander said that he saw his brothers fight for win while he was close to his grandpa and ate with him. Xander is funny and charming. Nash also was okay, with his cowboy boots and his lazy smile. I can't complain of him, tho I wished he would've had some more of participation. I need more of these two boys, ok? ok.
Libby; Max: Libby just
was there. If she has a bigger purpose, then I want to know it. Just don't make her invisible or make her appear in key moments and then forget about her... Like the author did. (That's how I felt it). I want to know more of my goth girl. Max was okay, and she was totally right when she told Avery that she never asked her how she, Max, was feeling, if she was okay, etc. But that was it. We didn't see or knew anything else from Max anymore. Like, she gave her speech and then left the chat for good. The false swearing was getting into my nerves, please.
I for sure hated (in its entirety) the fact that 60% of the book was "Emily was like this...", "Emily would have done that...". Emily, Emily, Emily, and she's dead. I was getting exasperated. Is everything spinging around her?
I would have also liked to see more of the Hawthorne family, their struggles or things like that, their reasons to do what they do. Like the foundation that Zara was helping was only mentioned and explored ONCE and then, nothing. Nada. The school was not explored very well, or the kind of treats that Avery could have received there.
The romance/love triangle: I'm not a big fan of love triangles... I'm not a fan of that trope. Period. Even more when they're not well developed and it's clear as day with whom the mc will end up with. It seemed like Jameson was pushing himself away from Avery just to give Grayson some space to make his "move", which was ridiculous and illogical. Avery was just a pawn.
I didn't feel any connection between Avery and Jameson, nor Avery and Grayson. I don't ship them because I don't think that they have chemistry or a spark. One moment, he's threatening Avery and the next one he's pinning for her. How did this happen? I was so confused by this. And I still am. The same guys who were "in love" with Emily are falling for Avery... Seriously?
Hype: I understand part of the hype for this book, I really do. But it wasn't for me. I don't know if I am the problem or what, but I found some characters annoying and bland, or some things unbelievable. Overall was okay, nothing new, nothing that blew my mind or left me shocked, just okay.
Am I going to pick up the second book to see how things go? Perhaps, If I'm on the mood, lmao.
With that money, you can pay me therapy, because after this book, I really need it.
previous review: i'm gonna give you a chance. let's see if the hype is worth it, lmao

um… WOW. I did not expect this to be a 5 star read but it definitely is!! First of all, the plot is wild. Avery is just a normal high schooler, but then one day she finds out she’s inheriting billions of dollars from a random guy and she has no idea why. And she has to live with his disinherited family. And that family includes 4 brothers around Avery’s age.
The mystery of the inheritance is definitely the main plot but the romance was also ππ». And I was on the edge of my seat the entire time as the characters try and solve riddles and look for clues to find the reason behind the inheritance.
Would highly recommend! I will be reading the sequel immediately
