Family secrets, dark academia, mystery, and romance, set the stage for Kelley Armstrong’s A Deadly Inheritance. I tend to love Kelley Armstrong’s books but this YA mystery about a teenager who finds out that she is an heiress to a billion-dollar corporation, was lacking a bit for me. I had higher hopes for the book. I was intrigued about Liliana, who was alone after her mother’s death, being saved by a lawyer and finds herself enrolled at an elite boarding school and involved in the solving of a murder mystery. What else does a 17-year-old heiress do at an elite boarding school?
While I didn’t love this book, I enjoyed it. The characters were interesting, the murder mystery was engaging, and there were a few twists which kept me turning the pages. I wasn’t a big fan of the love triangle but overall, this book was fine. Not my favorite book by Kelley Armstrong, but not a bad book either.
Thank you to Tundra Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
