It was an invite to die for…

When the anonymous invite arrived, we knew exactly who it was from.

Elle Romero, the beautiful, charismatic Texan who burst into our lives when we were teenagers.

We'd gone our separate ways and lost touch. Until now.

Elle, the legendary prankster, is back.

She's invited us all—me, Claire, Lizzie and Megan—to a swanky country house for a reunion.

We arrive excited for a weekend of reminiscing and reconnecting. A chance to step out of our uneventful lives for a while.

But when Elle fails to show up at her own party, we begin to wonder if she's up to her old tricks.

And when a body turns up in the cellar, it seems this time the joke might just be on us…

The Invite is the twisty, addictive new thriller by A J McDine, author of No One I Knew.

I enjoyed all of the different stories building and changing as they grew. The characters were more than surface people as the book went along. The main story kept a good pace and kept you wondering exactly what was going to happen.

Good buildup and fast paced thriller

There was a lot of dialog. The book seem unnecessarily long. It wasn't a horrible book, but I wouldn't want to reread it.

Not too bad

Enjoyed this one. Sometimes got lost with the characters, but that was probably more my distraction than anything else. Good narrators as well.

Good one

This author is completely new to me so I was very skeptical going in.
But the summary truly peaked my curiosity and seemed like it might be exactly the kind of book I love.
I’m delighted to say this is a well crafted story filled with throughly developed characters and a super creepy setting.
I’ve read all of these “isolated place/girl’s weekend/the call is coming from inside the house” kind of books but this one truly freaked me out, spooked me.
I loved it.
The narration is exceptional, the characters are relatable, and premise is absolutely terrifying.
Certainly a book I will revisit, it’s that good.

Fantastic

Outstanding!

I enjoyed the development of the characters and their old friendship carried through the story. The excitement of a "girls weekend" turned into doubt, tension and terror. I did not love the ending of, but did enjoy the story greatly.

Relationships and old friendships

If you’ve read a thriller mystery before, you know “the big twist” pretty early on. McDine’s books tend to be easy to figure out. But it was still an interesting book and an easy read.

An ending you see coming…
