Hello everyone, my name is Tiffany and I’ll be the discussion leader. This is my first time leading a discussion so I promise to do my best.
Hi Tiffany, I have read all the books in this series, can't wait to discuss with people.
What does everything think of the story line so far? How do you feel about Avery?
This book looks interesting and the story is captivating so far
I just finished the book. I found it to be a fun book and the mistery well developed. Some loose ends that I believe will be addressed in the sequels. I haven't read a young adult novel in a while, but it's a genre I enjoy too so it was okay. I saw some reviews from people who were disappointed, but I started reading without any prior plot information and I liked it. I might read the sequels.
Who would you say was your favourite Hawthorne brother?
Mind Games! Book #1 toys with the reader, so much so that I, for one, never wanted it to end. I will definitely continue reading the series. 5*s

I found Xander funny and entertaining, for me the best brother, I just wish he had featured more in the book. Between Grayson and Jameson I prefer Grayson, just because I found Jameson a bit immature (albeit fun).
I just finished reading #s 2 & 3, Nicole, and discovered that #4 is due August 29, 2023. Hurray! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
I'm starting The Inheritance Games right now. I've seen a lot of positive reviews so I hope I enjoy it.
Read it last year and as far as I remembered, it is a good experience but the story is a little too YA-cheesy for my liking. I ended up rating it 3 stars. There is more romantic subplot than the mysterious aspect IMO. I would give the series another chance and read the sequel some other time.
Just finished the third book & it was such a good ending to the trilogy! I’m excited for the new book to come out in the summer! As for the first book - if you have finished it what are your thoughts on the plot of the story & what are your thoughts on how it ended ??
True Confessions time! I am retired as a teacher/librarian. Most of my experience in librarianship was in junior high school, so I have an affinity for YA books. I really like this so far! I stayed up until 3:30 am last night because I couldn’t put it down! I like it so much that right now I think I will read the next one!! (I have been working as a marriage & family for almost 10 years now, so I have not kept up with what’s popular in YA.)
Tiffany wrote: “Who is your favorite Hawthorne brother?”I think I like Xander best so far. Nash, I haven’t really learned enough about yet. Jameson seems immature. Grayson may come in 2nd for me!
I just finished! I have got to find the next one now! I am hooked!!
it's too YA - cheesy for me too but I will finish it. I'm only half way so i like Xander the best so far. i am wondering if the supposed dead Toby is going to show up. Just a guess???
I finished. I'm done with this series. I like more mystery/crime suspense fiction.
Almost finished with book 3! I am hooked! Yes, it is YA, but it has enough depth to keep me going!
It was decent but I don’t recommend putting much time between this one and the next because it made no sense then.

Summary
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.
