The Inheritance Games (The Inheritance Games, #1)

Review: The Inheritance Games - Book #1 Inheritance Games - Jennifer Lynn Barnes - September 2020

One of my favorite YA authors that I have always enjoyed ever since I was in my mid-twenties was Jennifer Lynn Barnes after reading and falling in love with her book Tattoo. She is one author whom I have followed her works and different series, enjoying some more than others but the majority enjoying. The Inheritance Games was in the pile of ones I enjoyed and OMG that freaking cliffhanger ending has made me wishing Book #2 was already out and published, though it's still sitting Untitled at this stage. In The Inheritance Games, we meet Avery Grambs who is smart and sometimes she focuses on herself and others she just skates by with her dream of getting out of this smalltown and hopefully one day fulfilling her mum's dream of traveling around the world, it made me smile to see a postcard of New Zealand. Avery and her half-sister Libby on her Dad's side live together after Avery's mother passed away. Avery spends most of her time between school and hanging out in the park playing chess with a homeless guy called Henry. One day, Avery is called to the principal's office and sees Libby sitting there with a guy in a suit. The guy's named is Grayson Hawthorne and he is about to tell Avery something that will change her whole life. Avery learns that she has just inherited a massive amount of money and her life practically goes from one extreme to the other overnight. The thing though is she is about to discover that Tobias Hawthorne loved games and involved with her Inheritance is a fun scavenger hunt - can Avery work together with his four grandsons to find out the reason why Avery is inheriting this stranger's fortune? I did love the twist at the end of this book and it had me going OMFG and wondering if he plays a huge reason, why Avery was the "chosen one".  If you love YA mysteries and authors like Sara Shepard, then you will love Jennifer Lynn Barnes and her story "The Inheritance Game".

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
