THE FINAL GAMBIT ( BOOK 3 OF THE INHERITANCE GAMES)

THE FINAL GAMBIT (BOOK 3 OF THE INHERITANCE GAMES) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

It's very easy to see why the Inheritance Games series is so popular. The books are based on a very unlikely protagonist (think modern day fairytale), the suspense is overwhelming, there are puzzles and games galore to be solved, and the prize is worth billions of dollars. There is so much to get into and enjoy. However, mixed into all of this are elements to be aware of.

Avery Grambs is close to the end of her year requirement at Hawthorne House to inherit the estate. That doesn't mean the intensity of others trying to get their hands on the billions has lessened. If anything, it's grown exponentially. In fact, it seems as if what's happening now is the result of events that took place years ago, way before Avery's time. How in the world does she play into all of this? That's ultimately what she and the Hawthorne brothers have to find out. Was she chosen for a reason? She had to have been. After all, she is "A very risky gamble."

HEADS UP- Language - is medium. No f-bombs. However, Avery's friend uses other words in place of profanities including the f-bomb. ("That faxing chick can go right to elf." )There is a gay couple. No intimate details, but their relationship comes up in conversation a few times. We know that Avery is sleeping with one of the Hawthorne Brothers. There are no details, but they wake up next to each other in bed, etc.
