A teen must solve a multilayered puzzle to find out why she’s the recipient of a billionaire’s inheritance. One day Avery—with her mother dead, her father missing for years, and her guardian half sister on the rebound with her abusive boyfriend—is living out of her car. The very next day she is on a plane to Hawthorne House, a mansion in Texas, where she discovers she’s the beneficiary of billionaire Tobias Hawthorne’s fortune. She must, however, abide by one condition: living for a full year with the snubbed Hawthorne family—a family that includes the billionaire’s four grandsons, young adult brothers who share a mother but have different fathers. This whirlwind story gains even more intensity when Avery learns that Hawthorne was a master of games and manipulation. -Kirkus Reviews (https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/jennifer-lynn-barnes/inheritance-games/)
