Manuscript Monday: The Inheritance Games

On this weeks Manuscript Monday Sarah recommends "The Inheritance Games" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.

I was surprised how much I liked this rags-to-riches YA book. I loved the concept of a complete stranger winning billions out of the blue, especially one that was down on her luck. This book is fulled with secret passages, puzzles and codes to break. It's a whodunnit without the who. The character development is excellent and I truly cared for Avery (the new Billionaire teenager), Libby (her half-sister and guardian) and the Hawthorn brothers (grandsons of the Billionaire). It also displayed conflict between all the teenage dynamics realistically. I can also see how this situation would affect people close to Avery, like Libby and Max (her best friend). I thought their conflicts were also well depicted in the book. Overall, it was fast paced and I couldn’t put it down. Already booked the next one at the library and have recommended it to my 13 year old.
