Review: A Deadly Inheritance

A Deadly Inheritance by Kelley Armstrong
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Liliana is trying to stay under the radar and survive until her eighteenth birthday.  Her life is turned upside down when her grandparents’ lawyer shows up at the same time as DCFS, and she is whisked away to an elite boarding school.  Westwood Academy is the same school her mother attended before being disowned.  Lili quickly learns that there are secrets and then there are SECRETS about the school, her fellow students, and her parents.  Will Lili discover why her mother left Westwood Academy and her inheritance behind?  What about the suspicious deaths in the school’s history? 

 

A Deadly Inheritance is a stand-alone mystery that is entertaining and enjoyable.  I was afraid it would be too similar to other recent books about rich families taking in an orphan, but I was pleasantly surprised that this one went in a different direction and had me waiting to find out what would happen next.  A Deadly Inheritance will be enjoyed by all fans of young adult mysteries.
