I'm all for the re-emergence of cheese and Open Road Media has a market for that. They've been re-releasing older YA titles as of late and, knowing me, I'm pretty quick to gobble them up. They usually end up being short reads, concise and to the point without much depth to them. Lead-up to mystery, solve it, story ends and that's pretty much it. THE INVITATION didn't let me down in this regard.
The issues that I generally have with these titles is that the characters are a bit too stereotypical and they're written so that they portray teens to how adults feel they are. The mean girls fit nicely into a little box and a character's brattiness is usually running a bit higher than what it probably should be. What makes that last part worse is that the story doesn't delve too deeply into the character's head so the personality isn't explained away or as a reader you do know what's going on but it's usually pretty petty. The antagonists in THE INVITATION fit this moniker. They're one dimensional and stereotypical, one being the mean girl to an extreme and the other being a straight up crazy b****. If this were in any other recent YA horror I'd scoff at it. But cheese gets a pass. Because it's cheese.
The cast of protagonist characters is pretty large but they fit their own molds just like the villains with a couple that probably could have been removed entirely and the story would have been none the wiser. The characters with the most emphasis, Ellie, Sarah and Shane were of course the stand-out characters, except Ellie ended up fading into the background towards the end. I would have liked to have seen her stand up a little more, break out of her self-deprecating shell a little more but it is what it is. Riley, Sarah's love interest, played a bit part and love was had at the end. Because it needed to end on an up note.
The biggest issue I had with THE INVITATION was the sex of the major antagonist. Once that person was introduced I went whole chapters without knowing what the sex of the villain was, despite the character actually being present on the page. Initially it was male just with a feminine name, Leslie (right up there with Shannon and Kim as male names, ugh). Even in the flashback Leslie was still androgynous. I couldn't place the sex. I got so confused that I had to flip back earlier to see if I missed something, some tell-tale sign that this person was male or female. Nope. It started off male and ended female. I know it's an uncorrected proof but that's pretty major. It was halfway explained by a confusion of people but even after that it still didn't make sense, especially with how the story was unfolding. I'd have to call that sloppy.
Overall it wasn't as big of a fright as I would have liked. Cass was far creepier doing what she did to the outcast group of kids she invited than the real antagonist was simply because she was so heartless. I would have liked that route better than the crazy person at the end. Not my favorite cheese read but it sits nicely in the cockles. I'll take it.
The Invitation is an entertaining book that took me back to my high school years, when teen slasher movies were the craze. The plot was a little predictable - a group of friends, a psycho out for revenge and a few strange occurences that keep you guessing who exactly is behind everything that is happening. But there were one or two twists thrown in which really and truly surprised me.
So basically the story is about five very ordinary teens who receive invites to the party of the year. Their excitement at having been invited out-weighs their suspicions, and they go to the party. But once they arrive, it is quite clear that something is not right. Or at least only to the MC, Sarah. The house has a creepy, dim atmosphere and their hostess is a little too happy to see them all, even though she cannot remember their names. Yeah, something is definitely up!
A quick game of muscial chairs singles out each of the five friends and they find themselves becoming the entertainment. Only, this supposedly innocent turn of events soon becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse.
The idea of a "human hunt" was quite interesting, and a fresh idea. It was only once the hunt began that I really got into the book. I love mysteries, and I try to keep track of everyone's movements, hoping to figure out who the culprit is before they are actually revealed, and everytime I thought I knew who it was something would prove me wrong. When the "bad guy" was finally revealed, I felt a little disappointed. The story behind why the person was out for revenge could have been a little more scandalous, and it don't think it warranted the deadly situtations that the characters were thrown into. I mean would someone really go so far off the deep end and try kill people, if faced with the same situation? I just had a very hard time believing it!
This book also has a touch of romance, which I felt could have been left out. It just didn't have a place in the story, and it was almost as if it was added as a filler.
I've loved this book for a while now, and whilst being the epitome of my reading habits, my recent rereading of it has brought me to the conclusion that it's actually not that good as it was.
Though it left me guessing as always, the ending and "plot twist" of Shane's past was rather disappointing. I still love this book, and it will always be one of my favorites.
