A chilling ghost story with a twist: the New York Times bestselling 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 forty-four 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.

Crystal's Review
The Invited by Jennifer McMahonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I am happy that I was able to listen to the audio book version. I used a free credit to get it. That being said, for the price of this book I would have been a bit upset.
I enjoyed listening, but I am happy it was "free". I hate reviews that state such things, but here I am doing just that. The book didn't get GREAT until the last hand full of chapters. I have to admit if I had been reading it I probably would have DNF'd it. I am happy I stuck through though.
There seemed to be many fillers, unnecessary chapters. It all came together well at the end. I had predicted the ties almost from the start. It was good, just not as great as I had hoped.
