Series: The Grandest Game (Book 1)
Publication: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (July 30, 2024)

Description: Get ready for a new series that brings readers deeper into the lush, romantic, and puzzle-filled world of the #1 bestselling Inheritance Games series (over 3 million copies sold!), set a year after we last saw Avery and the Hawthornes.

Seven tickets. An island of dreams. The chance of a lifetime.

Welcome to the Grandest Game, an annual competition run by billionaire Avery Grambs and the four infamous Hawthorne brothers, whose family fortune she inherited. Designed to give anyone a shot at fame and fortune, this year’s game requires one of seven golden tickets to enter. With millions on the line, those seven players will do whatever it takes to win.

Some of the players are in it for the money. Some for power. Some for reasons all their own. Every single one of them has secrets. Amidst it all is Grayson Hawthorne, tasked with a vital role in this year’s game. But as tensions rise and the mind-bending challenges push the players to their limits—physically, mentally, and emotionally—it soon becomes clear that not everyone is playing by the rules

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Lynn Barnes delivers a brand-new series in the world of The Inheritance Games, where fan-favorite and new characters collide in a game you’ll never forget.

My Thoughts: THE GRANDEST GAME returns us to the world of the Inheritance Games. Avery Grambs and the Hawthorne brothers have developed a game in which someone will win more than $20 million dollars. There are only seven places in the game which will take place on an island. 

This story introduces and follows a few of the players all of whom are in the game for their own reasons from Rohan who wants the money to secure his play in a secret organization to Lyra who wants to learn about her past and provide needed funds for her parents. 

All of the characters have intriguing personalities and intriguing reasons for wanting to win this new Inheritance Game. 

The story is filled with puzzles for the players and the readers to solve. I loved the story and can't wait for the sequel since there is definitely a cliffhanger ending to this one. 

I bought this one July 31, 2024. You can buy your copy here.
