The supernatural comes to life...
Spooky. Creepy. Eerie. Unearthly. They may all essentially be the same word, but, believe me, they ALL apply to Invitation. I wanted to read this book for two reasons: Frank Peretti and Bill Myers. I grew up on The Cooper Kids and Forbidden Doors so I had something of an inkling what I might be in for. The other two authors, Angela Hunt and Alton Gansky, are new to me, though, I've heard good things about both of them.
Yeah, I kinda got what I asked for. A book I couldn't put down. One that I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to finish. And caused me to keep the lights on after I turned that last page as I tried to go to sleep. Anyone who has ever read a Peretti or Myers book knows exactly what I'm talking about. Once you start, you can't stop reading, and Invitation was no exception.
The idea of taking four very different characters in four interconnected stories, each one from a different viewpoint penned by four authors was quite interesting and they pulled it off well. I'm curious to see where these four talented authors will be taking this story, and characters, in the future. I know there are a number of episodes already out, and there will be more 4-episode books, so I have some good reading to look forward to....
