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.

A new favorite!

Absolutely loved this book! Couldn’t put it down. Definitely in my top 5. Highly recommend

Really entertaining

It’s a really fun and engaging read. I don’t know why people had a problem with the narrator. I almost skipped this because of those reviews, but she was fine.

Fun story

Fun all the way through, I love treasure hunting stories in big old mansion and a twist.

Good story, horrible Tex accent

The story was good. You wanted to see where the clues went. The performance was pretty good EXCEPT the Texas accent. It sound like someone trying to do an Alabama accent. It was nothing I’d heard in Texas…and I’ve lived or visited in pretty much all regions. It def was distracting at first.

Great Story.....Not so great narrator

I really enjoyed this story. However, the narration was pretty bland. The southern accents were really bad.
