Book Review:
Jennifer Lynn Barnes delivers a clever and utterly addictive puzzle-box of a novel with ''The Inheritance Games.'' The premise is irresistible: an ordinary girl thrust into extraordinary wealth and danger. Avery is a smart and relatable protagonist, and the four Hawthorne grandsons provide a perfect blend of charm, intellect, and suspicion. The mansion itself is a character, filled with secret passages and clues that make the reader feel like they're solving the mystery alongside Avery. The plot is fast-paced, with twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end. While the romantic tension adds fun, the heart of the book is the intellectual game—the riddles, codes, and strategic thinking. It's a perfect blend of ''Knives Out'' and a teenage treasure hunt, highly recommended for fans of mysteries, brain teasers, and stories about secrets.
