Inherit Midnight

by Kate Kae Myers

The Competition:

Outlandishly wealthy Grandmother VanDemere has decided to leave her vast fortune to the family member who proves him or herself worthiest--by solving puzzles and riddles on a whirlwind race around the globe, from the mines of Venezuela to the castles of Scotland. There will be eight competitors, three continents . . . and a prize worth millions.

The Players:

Seventeen-year-old Avery is the black sheep of the VanDemere clan, the ostracized illegitimate daughter. Finally, she has a chance to prove herself . . . and to discover the truth about her long-lost mother.

Marshall might be Avery’s uncle, but there’s no love lost between the two of them. He’s her main competition, and he’ll do anything to win--including betray his own children.

Riley is the handsome son of Grandmother VanDemere’s lawyer. As the game progresses, Avery falls hard for Riley. Suddenly, losing the game might mean losing him, too.

As the competition takes treacherous turns, it becomes clear there can only be one victor. Who can Avery truly trust? And is winning worth her life?

Inherit Midnight was like a mix of The Amazing Race and National Treasure. It had a few plot twists that I liked. While I did like Avery, the main character, there were times when she annoyed me. I also really enjoyed seeing the other characters develop. Even though I thought the romance was cute, I did have a few problems with it. I also had a problem with the ending. It wasn't really conclusive enough for me, had a few plot holes, and I thought there were some unnecessary plot twists. Overall, I enjoyed reading this.


Final Rating:

3.5/5
