Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why—or even who Tobias Hawthorne is.

To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch—and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.

Ratings and reviews

This is just my opinion but I thought it was pretty boring. Like she's smart to the point her teachers think she's cheating like this kind of reminds me of the "Im NoT lIkE tHe OtHeR gIrLs" story line. I give it TWO sarts because I'm nice.

Good book, will keep you guessing. Not all characters are who they seem. Still have some unanswered questions and theories on why Avery was REALLY chosen and what happened to her mother.

loved the first and second books read them both in four days. kept me turning page after page to figure out the clues
