The Inheritance Games The bestselling, addictive, twist-filled mystery and TikTok sensation!

Fand es hammer zu lesen, packend von Beginn an mit vielen Plot Twists. Gewisse sah man kommen, andere ergriffen einen ohne Vorwarnung. Das coole war, man konnte mit Avery und den Jungs miträtseln und probieren zu verstehen was das Spiel auf sich hat. Gespannt auf Band 2

Honestly, it made my reading experience so much better by reading it with a dear friend. Not that I didn’t enjoy the story as is, but there were definitely a few things that fell a bit flat for me and which would have made this a 3-star-read. But since I was able to read it with my dear friend the guessing and tossing ideas back and forth was so much fun. Also the writing style was engaging, and the stakes got higher at the right moments, so as to hold our attention and intriguing us further. I wanted to find out why Avery would be considered to inherit this amount of wealth without knowing the deceased man. I wanted to know what this Emily girl had to do with all of it. And I wanted to figure out why there was a second will that was exactly the same as the first but with 4 added words. In terms of the mystery the story did well. When it comes to the romantic drama (if you want to call it that) though, I just felt too old for it. It didn’t catch me. And the love triangle just seems too flat for me. I’m not rooting for either, because both seem wrong - at least in the first book of the trilogy - which then just makes me feel as though it’s just because they’re good-looking and somewhat mysterious Then again, it would have for sure glued me to the pages if I read it while I was a teenager. If it was up to me, I’d push Avery towards Xander, as he is just so much fun, and charismatic, and odd. Imagine a 16-year old full of dad jokes and a laid back personality - that’s how I picture him. Needless to say, he’s my favourite out of all the characters so far Ultimately, the plot is well thought through and contains enough but not too many twists and turns to engage me as a reader. If you enjoy Mystery with some YA then I’d totally suggest you read this book - even better if you can pair up with someone to buddy read

Dieses Buch ist eines meiner Buch Highlights 2026. Die Geschichte ist nie langweilig. Von Anfang an ist es spannend und man muss sich nicht am Anfang durch das Buch durch quälen. Das Ende kommt unerwartet (im guten Sinne) und es lässt einiges offen, was dazu führt, dass man unbedingt den nächsten Teil lesen möchte. Ich kann das Buch nur weiterempfehlen!!!!!!!

Avery has a plan to build a better future for herself and her older sister, but everything changes when she unexpectedly inherits the fortune of billionaire Tobias Hawthorne. The catch is, she has never met the man and has no idea why he chose her over his own family. Suddenly thrown into a world of secrets, puzzles, and shifting loyalties, Avery must navigate danger, suspicion, and the cryptic games the late billionaire left behind, all while dealing with a family determined to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs. The Inheritance Games is a fast-paced, twist-filled YA mystery that blends the fun of a treasure hunt with the drama of a modern-day fairy tale. The layered puzzles and inheritance mystery keep the pages turning, while the characters (especially the four Hawthorne brothers) add tension, charm, and a touch of romantic intrigue. Each brother has a unique personality, adding depth and energy to the story. Avery is a strong, down-to-earth protagonist, and the contrast between her modest background and the world of unimaginable wealth she’s thrown into adds a compelling dynamic. Some plot points lean into familiar YA tropes, but the execution is sharp and entertaining. The book strikes a solid balance between suspense and character development, making it enjoyable for both teen and adult readers. All in all, The Inheritance Games is a clever and engaging start to a series that offers just the right mix of mystery, escapism, and emotional depth to leave a lasting impression.

Es hat ein paar Kapitel gebraucht, bis ich mich eingelesen hatte und in der Story war. Allerdings wurde ich danach total überrascht und konnte das Buch nicht mehr auf Seite legen. Ein großartiges Buch mit einer Art, wie ich es bisher noch nicht kannte! Angenehmer Schreibstil und gute Charaktere! Noch bessere Plot Twists! Kann es kaum erwarten, bis ich Teil 2 in der Hand halte! :)
