Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

An utterly addictive and twisty thriller, full of dark family secrets and deadly stakes. Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying and Knives Out.

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?

Funky

A very imaginative story-line with an intriguing conclusion. I really enjoyed the tone of this book and the performance was a cherry on top.

Absolutely amazing

I was kept on my toes the entire time with all the twists, turns and secrets. All the individual stories weave together in a way that only lets the full picture be seen right at the end and I could not put it down.

👍👍A😻😻maz😊😊ing😃😃!!!

Jaw Dropping, I absolutely adore this audiobook and the real book. I read the book after listening to the audiobook and I when I read something I just imagined Christie Moreau saying it. Jennifer Lynn Barns so much, and this series, like I said is jaw dropping. I feel like Christie Moreau is the perfect narrator for this story!! In all, this story and narration is perfection!!!❤️❤️❤️

Narrator killed this story for me

I gave up on the audio halfway through because I just couldn’t with the narration.

The narrator managed to make 4 late teens / grown adult men sound like they were 8-10yo boys. Their voices were pitched higher than the FMC’s! It was so bad that when Avery talked about having ‘feelings’ for one or another of them, it felt super icky to me, like she was a 17yo crushing on a child.

I’m hoping I can pick up the book where I left off and remove the bad taste from my mouth because I otherwise love the story!

This audio is a no from me for the brothers

I had to push through this book more than I expected to. I stopped listening to the audio and just read the book. The narrator made the brothers sound like they were 10. I had to stop myself when I realised that these brothers were supposed to be hot and potential love interests 😆 Xander sounded like he was 6 or something and then read he was 6 foot 3 and was like - wait a minute, something ain't right 🙈

Simple and easy to read yet captivating

This book is well written and the narration was easy to listen to at a pleasant speed (rather than too fast especially in tense moments as some others can be) and variation adapting to the storyline and characters well.
The story is uncomplicated yet with enough twists and turns to keep you interested. Its a story of interaction of characters and alliances, secrets and assumptions. This is a book made to enjoy the journey rather than racing to the end. It ends in a way that hopefully indicates a sequel or series, both giving a satisfying end point while leaving plenty of uncertainty that the characters are fully who they seem (not to mention potential love interests and alliances).
Also the characters express themselves well without bad language or having to be too graphic on gore, sex or hostility.
So in brief, easy to read/listen to, a pleasant light read well suited for young teen to adults that possibly may lead to more books in the future. Well done!

Anticlimactic Ending

Really enjoyed the entire story up until the last hour. The ending was such a disappointment
