the inheritance game - Book review

 Let me start off by saying if you dont have your socks on, go put some one, - i'll wait. Okay so you have your socks on? not yet. I will wait, because trust me you need your socks on for this. Got them on now? great. Get ready to have them blown off.  In a book i literally could not put down. 

The inheritance games has you questioning everything you have read about the book from the very beginning. In what can only be described as PURE GENIUS! Honest Jennifer Lynn Barnes is an absolute GODDESS at mysteries.  This book will have you literally guessing 'who done it' from page 1 to 372. 

Even as i was reading this book, Barnes would sprinkle little bread crumbs that were so juicy that i felt i needed to go back to the page and read again the reason for the crumb and keep reading. Even though you are constantly thinking with this book its not challenging, in fact its really enjoyable. All i can honestly say is Barnes must have really spent a long time (most defiantly a plotter and not a panster with this book), plotting all the clues and how she incorporated them. My eyebrows are still in a permanently raised position from how exciting this book was to read. Never a dull moment. 

Avery Grambs is barely getting by, living with her older sister she is trying for a scholarship to get out of the poverty driven world she lives in. Until she is summoned to Texas to find out she has inherited the Hawthorne billion dollar fortune. From a man she never knew. The only stipulation - she needs to live in his house with his two daughters and four grandsons for a year. And the games begin. 

Tobias left each of his children and grandchildren a letter explaining why he has done what he did. Only it didnt explain anything at all, in fact it left everyone more puzzled than before. As Avery tries to dig deeper into the mystery of why Tobias, a man she has never met, left her his fortune. Avery starts falling for the Hawthorne boys, but it soon turns out to be a game, and Hawhornes have grown up playing games. What they didnt realise is Avery is just as good at playing the game as they are. In the end its a battle of wits, secrets, lies and betrayals, that only solve a small portion of the game Tobias Hawthorne is playing from the grave. socks blown off yet? no? let me continue. 

The chemistry between the Hawthorne boys and Avery was off the charts, sizzling. The puzzles Avery solves- just leave you asking more questions like:What happened to the last girl that had the Hawthrone boys eating out of her hand? And Tobias Hawthorne II tragically passed away..or did he? the secret tunnels in the Hawthrone Manor lead to more than just secret room. 

The only bummer - this book left me on a serious cliff hanger. Like monumental and i want to yell in frusturation and go back and re-read the book to see if i missed another clue all at the same time. The good news is 1. this book has been picked up and will be on our screens which i am actually soooo fricken excited for and 2. the next book is coming out Autumn next year (hopefully i can wait that long) .

So if you have gotten this far, i think its fair to say i fricken loved this book. Its a mixture of pretty little liars, i know what you did last summer and a bit of Dallas to be honest. I think its is probably one of my favourite YA books this year. If you havent read it. Get your self a copy! cause peeps you be missing out on some brilliant literary work. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
