A BILLION-DOLLAR FORTUNE TO DIE FOR . . .

She came from nothing.
Avery has a plan: keep her head down, work hard for a better future. Then an eccentric billionaire dies, leaving her almost his entire fortune. And no one, least of all Avery, knows why.

They had everything.
Now she must move into the mansion she's inherited. It's filled with secrets and codes, and the old man's surviving relatives - a family hell-bent on discovering why Avery got 'their' money.

Now there's only one rule: winner takes all.
Soon she is caught in a deadly game that everyone in this strange family is playing. But just how far will they go to keep their fortune?

I was hooked from the first chapter in book 1 and I was so invested in the story and the puzzle myself. I highly recommend it. I loved it and I don't usually read a book twice. But this I will read again

It was fine for a trashy quick read, but characters were completely undeveloped and I couldn’t really be bothered to read the second one

I loved both of these books. The adventure and mystery kept me reading all while wondering which brother Avery would choose. I loved the short chapters, it really made me want to read more and more.
