A brand-new cozy gothic series that's The Inheritance Games for middle grade readers-filled with family curses, talking cats, and clever clues!

""Mix Mr. Lemoncello with Wednesday Addams, and you'll end up with the dark fun of The Grimlore Game!""-Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mr. Lemoncello's Library series

SOLVE THE PUZZLES. SURVIVE THE GAME.

Orphan Kit Devlin knows two things for sure about her scheming relatives-

1) They're cursed, with someone doomed to croak every three years like clockwork. 2) They only care about one thing- themselves.

When wealthy Grandpa Amos dies, all the Devlins come running to his remote Scottish manor for their piece of the inheritance-only to find a mysterious, magical game instead. Whoever solves his riddles will win his fortune. But everything is not what it seems, like the crimson-eyed cat who only talks to Kit and the misfit cousin with secrets to hide. As the clues grow more perilous, Kit learns there's more to the family curse-and her spellbinding connection to it-than she ever suspected. If she wants answers, she has to survive the game... and win.
