A book series with perfect puzzles & plot twists

Fellow Book Readers,

Looking for a book that is just the perfect young adult mystery book series? Well, this blog might be for you. 
The Inheritance series by author Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a novel filled with puzzles, unexpected plot twists, mysteries, and deceptions with a dash of a love triangle between two brothers. The series consists of The Inheritance Games, The Hawthorne Legacy, and The Final Gambit.

The storyline majorly revolves around Avery Kylie Grambs, Tobias Hawthorne, and his four grandsons, Jameson Hawthorne, Grayson Hawthorne, Alexander Hawthorne, and Nash Hawthorne. 

Avery, a teen living in her car, suddenly on one fine day learns that she is to inherit the multi-billion dollar empire of the richest billionaire of Texas, Tobias Hawthorne, an enigma of a man and someone who had a knack for complicated and complicating (life or,) puzzles. He, even after his death, left so many threads tangled that when you would probably think that it could not get any worse, Voila! It would. Tobias is manipulative; he played mind games and left his whole life's work in the hands of a not-so-strange stranger. 
Jameson Hawthorne, the third Hawthorne brother, just like his grandfather, Tobias, thrives on challenges and puzzles. He lives for the thrill, has a laser focus and drive. He is a romantic prospect of Avery (a favorite).
Grayson Hathorne is the second brother, the calm and collected one. He is the exact opposite of Jameson. He's analytical, pragmatic, and uses words you would probably need to google every single time he speaks. He's one of the romantic prospects of Avery.
Alexander Hawthorne's character is what you would call a comedic relief in the book. He's the youngest brother, highly intelligent, geeky, quirky, cheeky, and amped up with antics that make you grin every time he appears in the book. 
Nash Hawthorne is the eldest brother in the family. He's responsible and a definition of cowboy aesthetic core. He's the emotional balance of the brothers.
I would like to give special mentions to Libby Grambs, Avery's naïve but goth angel of a half-sister; Alisa Ortega, Avery's legal advisor and one hell of a woman; and John Oren, the bodyguard who did everything he could to protect Avery. 

The characters grow throughout their journey in the book series, together and also individually. For example, Avery would seem self-absorbed in the first novel, but as she tackles situation after situation and puzzle after puzzle, you see her grow into an individual who sees people other than herself, learns how to be vulnerable, and just lives her life, transitioning into a stable adult. 

The book is written in a manner that makes you also want to solve the puzzles and find the clues. You criticize the characters for not seeing through stuff and you are just amazed and dumbfounded at the same time about how they can be so smart and then be ashamed at how you can be so dumb. The book is full of twists and turns; it sweeps you right in. The characters, from my point of view, don't have that much depth, but that the storyline absolutely compensated. 

Overall, this book series is an 8.5/10 for me. 

(P.S. This book has other novellas too, like The Brothers Hawthorne, Games Untold, etc.)

Appreciate y'all for reading this.

Thank you,

Yours truly,
