You Are Invited

By: Sarah A. Denzil

Narrated by: Robyn Addison

'There are those who claim the ghosts walking the corridors of Sfântul Mihail are not ghosts at all.'

During a midnight journey snaking through the Carpathian Mountains, these are the words whispered to Cath Fenwick. It is the warning she will later wish she'd taken more seriously.

When Cath receives her invitation to The Event - a monetised retreat for social media influencers - she can't believe her luck. Irene Jobert is the most famous influencer in the world, and now Cath will be one of the five participants chosen to stay with Irene in a renovated Transylvanian monastery.

The catch? Their every move will be live-streamed to millions of people around the world. Patrons pay for constant access to their favourite social media stars: Irene, the model, Nathan, the gamer, Jules, the blogger, Daniel, the fitness guru and Cath, the writer. Nestled halfway up a mountain, surrounded by forests teeming with nature, the five are isolated, with nothing but the internet to connect them to the world. That is, until eagle-eyed live-stream followers all around the globe notice a sixth participant. A dark figure lurking in the background. Who - or what - is in the monastery with them?

Wolves roam the nearby forests. Shadows haunt the long corridors of Sfântul Mihail. Slowly, five lonely people begin to lose their minds. You are invited to The Event.

Not typically a fan of paranormal but love the story

This book captivated my attention from the beginning. I guess I started reading it because of Halloween but thoroughly enjoyed it. I read a few of her other books and they were great so I’m going to continue following this author.

Pretty good

I won’t say that it’s my favorite story but I did like it. The narrator gets on my nerves sometimes but she did a great job with the different accents of characters.

Great story, mediocre narrator

The narrator was hard to listen to at first but I enjoyed the story enough to suffer through it, and the voice became more tolerable over time. I really enjoyed the book and was thoroughly pleased with the ending.

Not much mystery but ghosts aplenty

I found this book a bit far-fetched but I don’t believe in spirits much.

Spooky and fun

Loved the narration. Story was pretty good, but I liked the spooky bits more than the psychological stuff. Maybe it’s because I listened during Halloween week? It was fun for whatever reason.

Captivating

I’ve read and listened to thousands of books and audiobooks and this one kept me thoroughly engaged right up till the end! It’s a great listen!

Constant unbalanced plot keeps it moving

What a whirlwind this psychological horror novel is, and it is a great reminder of how social media drives people to do much for money. Wonderfully creepy setting with believable characters who can’t trust their eyes, what’s happening to them, or one another. The unreliable narrator works exceptionally well in this tale.

Narration bothered me

The story was good as usual with this author but this is not one of my favorites. I did not pay for this one so I can live with it. The narration really bothered me. I can't even say why. It is ok for plus catalog.

Complex, layered, worth the time

My first ever Sarah Denzil novel and my first ever haunted social media thriller. Kind of a new take on a group of strangers gathered in a spooky place. I can identify and sympathize with flawed protagonists if they’re well-drawn, as they are in this story. Excellent performance by Robyn Addison.

Title

The story was okay. It had an interesting atmosphere about it. But the narrator did really well. I could definitely listen to more from this narrator.
