As we are getting closer to Christmas, I’ve decided to keep my book-buying to a minimum. I’ve also been so busy this month, that I just haven’t had time to look through the Amazon sales or even go to actual bookshops. I was hoping to finish a physical copy of Swordcatcher but I’m yet to come across it.
The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I’m really hoping this doesn’t disappoint. I’ve heard very good things about it and thought it was time I checked it out. Now, we all know I won’t actually read it anytime soon, but at least I actually own it now, so I’m one step closer.
Synopsis: Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why — or even who Tobias Hawthorne is.
To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man’s touch — and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he’s determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather’s last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.
The Mortal Instruments: The Graphic Novel Vol 2-4 by Cassandra Clare & Cassandra Jean

Synopsis: In the world of shadows, battling vampires and fending off wolves at knifepoint no longer frightens Clary. If it means finding her mother, she can deal with that much. But when a trusted ally betrays the Shadowhunters and Jace is nowhere to be found, she might have to face a truth too unsettling to bear…
