The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Summary: "When a Connecticut teenager inherits vast wealth and an eccentric estate from the richest man in Texas, she must also live with his surviving family and solve a series of puzzles to discover how she earned her inheritance."

I just wanted more. More everything. More puzzles, more intrigue, more drama, more romance. 

Curse my high and unrealistic expectations. I may have loved it more in my younger years.
