The Invited by Jennifer McMahon My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fast paced and suspenseful, you won't want to stop reading once you start!

Two former teachers, who decide to build their dream home in order to live in peace and quiet, find out the past does not want to stay buried as soon as they start using "haunted" items in the construction. A must read for Jennifer McMahon fans! View all my reviews
