About "You're Invited" :
Morgan Michaels and her friends invite an unpopular girl from their high school to a Halloween party as a joke…but the joke backfires, and the girl ends up murdered.
One year later, they receive an invitation to a mysterious Halloween party. It’s all fun and games at first, but Morgan soon discovers there’s a psycho in their midst, and he’s slaughtering them one by one, using a prop from each of their costumes.
Now the
killer is in hot pursuit of the remaining survivors. Can they unmask
the maniac before they, too, meet an untimely end?
Excerpt:
WTF…where
was he? She took her phone from her pocket. At least it provided her some
light. She wished she’d checked the time when he left so she’d know how long
she’d been waiting. And, she wished she had his phone number. She could text
and see when he’d be back. Because she was really getting scared. And he’d been
gone, like, forever. Screw this. She was going back. Hopefully, she wouldn’t
get lost.
She
stood and headed back the way she thought they’d come. There wasn’t really a
path, Axel had just forged his own. And she hadn’t paid attention because her
mind was occupied with other things. Was this the right way? She peered through
the darkened woods, hoping to catch a glimpse of Axel’s house. Even with the
fence surrounding it, she should be able to at least see some lights—
A
crack sounded behind her, and she whirled, her heart diving into her stomach.
She knew that was something…someone…?
“Axel?”
Her voice trembled. Maybe he was back and couldn’t find her. “I’m over here.
Sorry. I wasn’t sure you were coming back, so I—”
Something
lunged at her from between the trees. She couldn’t make out the features, but
it was definitely human—a man.
She
opened her mouth to scream, but he grabbed her and clamped his hand over her
mouth. A sickening horror rose when she felt him reach for the dagger in her
pocket. She whimpered, begging…crying…but the sound was muffled beneath his
hand.
