The Inheritance Games
Avery Grambs has a plan: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. Her life flips when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and inexplicably leaves her virtually his entire fortune, even though Avery does not know who he is or why he chose her.
To claim the inheritance Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears Hawthorne's love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. The house is occupied by the family he dispossessed, including four grandsons. Heir apparent Grayson believes Avery is a conwoman, while Jameson treats her as a final puzzle, and Avery must navigate danger amid wealth and privilege to survive.

What to Know Before Reading The Inheritance Games
The description focuses on Avery's sudden inheritance and the fraught relationships with Tobias Hawthorne's grandsons. Much of the setup centers on a puzzle-filled mansion with secret passages and Hawthorne's riddles, codes, and games. The conflict emphasizes family rivalry, suspicion, and danger within a world of wealth and privilege. This may appeal more to someone interested in mysteries driven by interpersonal tension and puzzle-solving rather than supernatural elements.
