If you like puzzles, plot twists, and are seeking a series that is completed so you don’t have to wait for books to still be written, then I have the next series you should be reading. Additionally, if you are fan of audiobooks, I thought the narration is what made it fun to read and recommend that if you were deciding physical vs audio.
The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a gripping young adult mystery and thriller novel. The story follows Avery Grambs, a smart and resourceful teenager who unexpectedly becomes the sole heir to the vast fortune of billionaire Tobias Hawthorne, a man she’s never met. The inheritance comes with a condition: Avery must move into the sprawling, puzzle-filled Hawthorne House, where Tobias’s disinherited family also resides.
As Avery navigates her new life, she discovers that Tobias’s decision wasn’t random. The Hawthorne family—including Tobias’s four charismatic grandsons—are drawn into a web of intrigue as Avery tries to uncover why she was chosen. The mansion is riddled with secret passages, hidden clues, and dangerous schemes, making Avery question whom she can trust.
The novel is packed with twists, family drama, and high-stakes puzzles, creating a fast-paced and suspenseful read that leaves readers eager for the next book in the trilogy.

What would you do if you suddenly became the recipient of a large sum inheritance? If you haven’t read this series yet, I highly recommend this series. Go to your favorite place for books and start reading so you can find out how Avery responds to her inheritance, but make sure the series is read in order because it is a progressive story.
