OVER 9 MILLION COPIES SOLD OF THE #1 BESTSELLING SERIES
Don't miss this New York Times bestselling "impossible to put down" (Buzzfeed) novel with deadly stakes, thrilling twists, and juicy secrets—perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying and Knives Out.
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.

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.

I read this book a few months ago, and I loved it. I've also read The Hawthorne Legacy and The Final Gambit. I haven't read the last book or 2, but am excited to do so.

This book was one of the best books I have ever read and really made me feel connected to the story and hooked onto it. Avery and all the brothers are wonderful and all the other books prove these points just as much! Keep reading! I promise you it only gets better and goes deeper into things
