As someone who devours mystery and YA novels, 'The Inheritance Games' series is a standout. The first book, 'The Inheritance Games', sets the stage with Avery inheriting a billionaire's fortune and moving into his eccentric mansion. The puzzles, family dynamics, and tension between the Hawthorne brothers hooked me immediately.
The sequel, 'The Hawthorne Legacy', escalates the mystery with hidden clues and darker secrets. The chemistry between Avery and the Hawthorne siblings becomes even more compelling, blending romance and rivalry seamlessly. The final book, 'The Final Gambit', delivers a satisfying yet bittersweet conclusion, tying up loose ends while leaving room for imagination.
What I adore about this series is how it balances brain-teasing riddles with emotional depth. The pacing is perfect, and the characters feel real, flawed, and unforgettable. If you love books like 'Knives Out' or 'One of Us Is Lying', this trilogy is a must-read.

I'm obsessed with 'The Inheritance Games' series and have reread it multiple times. The order is straightforward but packs a punch. Start with 'The Inheritance Games', which introduces Avery Kylie Grambs and the mysterious Hawthorne family. The second book, 'The Hawthorne Legacy', dives deeper into the secrets and twists, making it impossible to put down. The third installment, 'The Final Gambit', wraps up the high-stakes puzzle with emotional and intellectual fireworks. Each book builds on the last, with riddles, romance, and relentless suspense. I love how Jennifer Lynn Barnes weaves intricate plots that keep you guessing until the very end.

What makes this series special is the way it combines intellect and heart. The riddles challenge you, but the emotional arcs—especially Avery's growth and her bond with the Hawthornes—keep you glued to the page. Jennifer Lynn Barnes crafts a world where every detail matters, and the payoff is worth the wait. If you enjoy smart, fast-paced stories with a touch of romance, this series won't disappoint.

***This is the third book in the series***
I lost the girl, the love of my life.
I lost my family.
Now I’m lost.
I thought after the war for Riocht, life would get back to normal.
I was so very, very wrong.
Kellen, now King of the werewolves, thought after Lamia and Mathias claimed the throne and became the King and Queen of shifters, life would go on as normal. That he would rule his kingdom and search for his own mate and live happily ever after.
There was still so much to do. He still hadn’t completely taken control of his position as King, leaving his father’s Beta and Delta in charge. Kingdoms and packs still needed to be repaired; he still needed to be officially crowned.
And he still needed to grieve the death of his parents.
Kellen wakes up to find himself on a boat, going to Goddess knows where and the last thing he remembers is saying goodbye to Lamia and heading home with Mike.
When he finds himself in a strange land, sold to a bloody thirsty Alpha and his deranged Luna, for their packs entertainment, his title, means nothing. A man who cares only for three things; the games, the money, and blood; the more shed the better.
While Lamia and Mike search for him on the wrong continent Kellen is thrust into the Gladiator games. Kellen fights for his survival and the lives of many, including one beautiful girl who has captured his heart and has been promised to another as their chosen mate.
Can Kellen survive the Gladiator games when the odds are stacked against him, save the people and claim the mate the moon goddess promised him?
**This is book 3 in The Delta's Daughter series**
Five years ago, Seraphina Vale’s life ended in front of a crowd.
On her wedding day to billionaire CEO Cassian Thorne, she was publicly accused of corporate espionage, betrayal, and greed. Security dragged her out of the ceremony as cameras flashed and the media tore her reputation apart.
The man she loved never gave her a chance to explain.
What Cassian never knew was that Seraphina walked away carrying his child.
Now, five years later, Seraphina has rebuilt her life from nothing. Stronger. Independent. Untouchable.
But when fate brings her back into Cassian’s world, a shocking truth surfaces her son, Lucien, is the only biological heir to the powerful Thorne empire.
The Thorne family demands the child.
Seraphina refuses.
The only solution Cassian offers is a contract:
Live under his roof.
Pretend to be his wife.
Secure the heir’s future.
But the past is full of lies, enemies are still watching, and the truth behind Seraphina’s downfall is far darker than either of them imagined.
This time, the woman he once destroyed isn’t coming back to beg.
She’s coming back to win.
Pledged by birth to ancient obligations he barely understands, the unnamed heir grapples with a destiny that demands secrecy and sacrifice. Cloaked in shadows within his ancestral keep, he learns to read arcane symbols whispered through generations. When political machinations from the gilded twilight city threaten to expose his lineage—and his potential—he must navigate deception and hidden loyalties to claim what is rightfully his. Guided by a devoted guardian, and haunted by the weight of prophecy, he must choose whether to embrace the power he fears or shatter the silence that has long protected him.
SYNOPSIS:
In the high-stakes world of the Sterling Group, three half-siblings are forced into a ruthless six-month contest to determine who will inherit their father’s billion-dollar empire. Riley Sterling, the youngest and only legitimate child, is determined to prove her worth through integrity and hard work, despite being constantly overshadowed by her siblings.
Bella Harington, the manipulative eldest sister, sees the contest as her birthright and is willing to destroy anyone—including Riley—to seize the throne. Meanwhile, Kael Ashford, the brilliant but cynical middle child, plays the game from the shadows, driven by a dark secret regarding his mother’s death.
When Bella frames Riley for corporate espionage, shattering her reputation before the contest truly begins, Riley finds an unlikely ally in Kael. They form a fragile alliance to expose Bella’s crimes and uncover the truth about their family’s past. But as they work together in the shadows, their rivalry turns into a forbidden love that complicates their mission.
With time running out and their father’s health declining, Riley and Kael must navigate a web of betrayal, blackmail, and family secrets. In a final showdown, they must decide if their love is strong enough to overcome the legacy of hate they were born into, or if the fight for the crown will destroy them all.

The Moon Goddess may have written the rules, but these she-wolves are tearing them apart.
In this sweeping five-book saga, the Lycanthrope species—creatures of power beyond mortal imagination—dare to defy destiny itself. Mate bonds ignite passion and peril, but every she-wolf knows love can be a weapon as much as a gift. Tradition demands obedience. They choose rebellion.
It begins with Ana, a Hybrid caught between worlds, whose collision with Romani, the ruthless Lycan Crown Prince, sparks a bond that could either save her—or destroy her. His dominance threatens to consume her, yet Ana refuses to bow. Every choice she makes twists the Goddess’s plan tighter, until fate itself trembles.
From Ana’s defiance to the cunning of wolves who wield mate bonds like blades, each book unveils a battle where freedom clashes with love, rebellion with tradition, and power with vulnerability. The Goddess watches. The wolves fight back. And destiny will bleed before it breaks.
This is not a tale of wolves who obey.
This is the saga of wolves who refuse to surrender…
After the death of her estranged grandmother, Ayla inherits a crumbling estate—and a ring etched with runes she can’t read. But the moment she slips it on, the barrier between the mortal world and the realm of night cracks.
Enter Lucien, a vampire noble exiled for treason, bound by oath to protect the bloodline that nearly wiped out his own. And Ayla? She’s the last of that bloodline—and possibly the key to restoring or destroying his dying realm.
Ayla doesn't want anything to do with vampires, ancient wars, or cursed magic. But when hunters come for her, and she starts hearing voices in her sleep, Lucien becomes her only protection—and possibly her greatest threat.
Publication order is key, but also consider the format. The trilogy is a complete puzzle. The newer books are like opening a new puzzle box with some of the same pieces but a different picture on the lid. 'The Brothers Hawthorne' requires knowledge of the family dynamics established in the first three books to really hit home.
Jumping around would dilute the impact of the character arcs, especially Grayson's. Read them as they were released.
The perfect way to think about it is as two connected series. Series A: The Inheritance Games Trilogy. Series B: The Hawthorne Brothers Duology. You must complete Series A before starting Series B. There's no overlap or alternative starting points.
From a fan's perspective, reading order is sacred. The shipping dynamics alone! The will-they-won't-they tensions that develop across the trilogy would be completely undercut if you read the later books first. You'd know who ends up with whom, or what familial secrets come out, which ruins the slow-burn romance and the shocking family revelations. For the full emotional rollercoaster, you have to experience the story as it was released.
I think a lot of people get tripped up because 'The Brothers Hawthorne' has a different protagonist. But it's still a direct sequel in terms of timeline. Read the Avery trilogy first to understand the Hawthorne family, the mansion, and all the games. Then the brother-focused books will hit much harder because you'll already care about them.
I'm only on the second book, so maybe I shouldn't even be in this thread. Too late now! I'm avoiding spoilers, but from what I gather, there's more after the third book? Good to know. I'm just taking them one at a time as my library hold list delivers them. Seems to be working fine so far.
