The Grandest Game (The Grandest Game Volume I) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
After reading The Hunger Games, I wasn’t sure Suzanne Collins could top it. Then Catching Fire blew me away with its ingenuity. I felt the same way after finishing The Inheritance Games series. In this first book of the sequel series, Jennifer Lynn Barnes does not disappoint. A psychological thriller of enticing intensity, The Grandest Game takes place in the world built in The Inheritance Games series, of which The Brothers Hawthorne is recommended reading to truly understand this book.

Chock full of intrigue, logic, puzzles, and romantic tension, this book is hard to put down as the characters compete to win a life-changing fortune. Fans of the inheritance series will enjoy getting to know twin siblings Gigi and Savannah Grayson, as well as their half brother Grayson Hawthorne better in this book. Other characters from The Brothers Hawthorne who get compelling storylines are Rohan, who grew up in a secret underworld club, and Lyra who is haunted by her father’s death at the hands of a Hawthorne.
