In “The Inheritance Games” by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Avery Grambs is thrust into a wacky adventure that feels like Clue meets Monopoly on steroids.
Avery, a typical broke teenager, suddenly inherits the fortune of a lifetime from the mysterious billionaire Tobias Hawthorne. But there’s a catch – the inheritance is a game! And not just any game, but a real-life game of Clue, complete with a sprawling mansion, an eccentric cast of relatives, and clues that are more cryptic than your mom’s emojis.
Avery must navigate the treacherous waters of this bizarre family as they play mind games, treasure hunts, and charades that would make your average game night look like naptime. Along the way, she’s flanked by her best friend Max, who’s so nerdy that he might just accidentally solve the riddles with a D&D handbook, and a swoon-worthy, enigmatic heir, Jameson, who’s as perplexing as a Rubik’s Cube in a tornado.
As Avery unravels this peculiar puzzle, she discovers that each family member has a quirky secret and a room in the mansion that’s more bonkers than the last. From secret passageways to gourmet dinners that could poison a cat, every turn in this tale is full of unexpected laughs and bizarre plot twists.
“The Inheritance Games” is a rollercoaster of comedic chaos, a race to uncover the ultimate mystery behind Tobias Hawthorne’s twisted inheritance, and a reminder that sometimes, even the most serious games are meant to be played with a hearty dose of humor! Grab your detective hat and join Avery in the zaniest treasure hunt of the century, because this family reunion is one you won’t want to miss!
