À propos de cet audio
A chilling ghost story with a twist: The New York Times best-selling author of The Winter People returns to the woods of Vermont to tell the story of a husband and wife who don't simply move into a haunted house - they build one....
In a quest for a simpler life, Helen and Nate have abandoned the comforts of suburbia to take up residence on 44 acres of rural land where they will begin the ultimate, aspirational do-it-yourself project: building the house of their dreams.
When they discover that this beautiful property has a dark and violent past, Helen, a former history teacher, becomes consumed by the local legend of Hattie Breckenridge, a woman who lived and died there a century ago. With her passion for artifacts, Helen finds special materials to incorporate into the house - a beam from an old schoolroom, bricks from a mill, a mantel from a farmhouse - objects that draw her deeper into the story of Hattie and her descendants, three generations of Breckenridge women, each of whom died suspiciously.
As the building project progresses, the house will become a place of menace and unfinished business: a new home, now haunted, that beckons its owners and their neighbors toward unimaginable danger.

Connie can't deny she's nervous about meeting her boyfriend's family. Spending the weekend at their ritzy woodland summer home, Evan's already given her fair warning that his parents are cold, snobbish, and especially unpleasant toward those outside their usual social circles. So when Evan's mother warmly greets them with open arms, Connie is as confused as he is. They're so friendly, in fact, Evan himself can hardly believe they're real. Then, while helping Evan's mother with dinner, Connie overhears strange noises coming from the basement—what almost sounds like voices calling out for help.

Genevieve has secrets that no one knows. In Rome she can be whoever she wants to be. Her neighbours aren't nosy; her Italian is passable; the shopkeepers and restaurant owners now see her as a local, and they let her be. It's exactly what she wants. One morning, after getting groceries, she returns to her 500-year-old Trastevere apartment - it's exactly as she left it, not a thing out of place...except for the small box on her kitchen table. A box that definitely wasn't there this morning. A box that is addressed to "Lucy Callahan." A name that she hasn't used in 10 years.

Julie is missing, and no one believes she will ever return - except Elise. Elise knows Julie better than anyone, and feels it in her bones that her best friend is out there and that one day Julie will come back. She’s right. Two years to the day that Julie went missing, she reappears with no memory of where she’s been or what happened to her. Along with Molly and Mae, their two close friends from college, the women decide to reunite at a remote inn. But the second Elise sees Julie, she knows something is wrong - she’s emaciated, with sallow skin and odd appetites.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“Entertaining. . . powerful. . . supplies a plethora of frights that emerge from believable characters trying to navigate normal lives. McMahon again proves that the modern ghost story is more than things that go bump in the night. It hinges on reality, slowly building to a terror that seems real and sometimes personal, as it does in THE INVITED.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“McMahon blends her historical tale of rural Vermont with some crafty ghost stories and makes it impossible for the reader to turn away.”—Suspense Magazine
“[The] blend of ghost story and modern mystery is flawlessly compelling and evocative. A masterful twist on the haunted-house story.”—Booklist (starred review)

Worth the Bad Narrator
As other reviews have said, the narrator has some weird accent/inflection to her voice that is very annoying. Examples:
kill = kell
phone of the hook = off the hawk
trick = treck
for = forre
It is very distracting throughout the book, but if you can get past the first couple chapters you do get mostly used to it. I'd say I'm still happy with the audiobook because the story is engaging and well written. The main character is a bit unlikeable at times, but realistic. People have faults and don't always think rationally, as do the characters.
This is the second Jennifer McMahon book I've read and I really like her writing style and the spooky environments she creates. After listening to this one, I'll go back for more, just hopefully with a different narrator.

Great story
I enjoyed the story even though the ending was predictable. I did NOT enjoy the narration! At first I thought it was a robotic voice because of the odd inflection at the end of words. It took me a bit longer to get through because I needed breaks from the voice.

Listen To The Sample Before Purchase
You may, like me, be able to get past inadequate narration. I found that the subpar reading of 'The Invited' got more tolerable as the story progressed and setting playback speed to 1.15X softened some of the deficiencies in Justine Eyre's performance - but other reviewers are correct: the reading is hard to get past. You could legitimately decide to pass.. or perhaps buy the text version of this decent ghost story instead.
Eyre has an odd lilting cadence, a nasal tone, and a striking sibilance (hard 's's are softened admirably by the Random House Audio sound engineers.. but still notable).
[N.B: The chapters read by Amanda Carlin are marginally better, but the overall narration is not good].
More fortunately, Jennifer McMahon's story about intentionally building a portal house for spirits on haunted property is an interesting twist on the 'Haunted House' trope. McMahon incorporates some clichés, but does a very good job generating relatable characters, building tension, and describing creepy events vividly.
In toto, this book is likely worth 8.5 stars out of 10.. but the narration takes it down to 4.5. It's still well-worth reading, but the performances may be a game-changer for you. Regardless, horror fans who decide to give it a go should run the playback speed a little higher.

Can't get past the narrator
I'm aborting this mission less than 2 chapters in. The narrator is unlistenable. I don't know what she's doing with her voice at the end of every sentence but it's weird and totally distracting.
