The Invited by Jennifer McMahon

Helen and Nate decide to leave their comfy lifestyle and do something they've always wanted to do.  They bought a plot of land in the country and are going to build their own home.  But as the start on their new project they start to learn about the land they live on.  They keep hearing stories about a witch that lived on the property and that people still believe it's haunted.  Helen is open to the possibility after some strange things happen shortly after they arrive, but Nate refuses to believe.  And in their life comes Olive; a teenager playing tricks on them who offers to help them work on their house.  Helen continues to research, experience phenomenon and build her house and learns the sad and violent history of the Breckenridge family.



I love scary stories.  The synopsis for this on Amazon sounded a lot scarier than it was, but it was definitely a thriller.  I also liked the ending.  Not really what I had expected, but really good.  The chapters were written through different points of view which I liked and it worked really well with how the story was being told.  It wasn't too long either so if you're looking for a quick summer read this is a good one.
