What happens when five old friends reunite on a stunning, remote island after years apart? Roy Kren’s latest novel, The Invitation, dives into that question, offering readers a gripping, emotional, and mysterious journey they won’t soon forget.
This story takes place on Larkspur Island, an exclusive paradise where luxury meets intrigue. Amelia, Ben, Claire, David, and Emily—all once inseparable—are brought back together by an enigmatic invitation. What starts as a dazzling New Year’s Eve reunion quickly spirals into something far deeper, unraveling secrets and confronting the past they thought they’d left behind.
Let’s be honest—The Invitation is more than a story about friendship; it’s about the truths we hide and the moments that define us. Each character brings their own baggage, their own regrets, and their own hopes for a fresh start. The drama unfolds with breathtaking twists, heartfelt revelations, and an atmosphere so vivid it feels like stepping into the island itself.
The mansion on Larkspur isn’t just a setting—it’s a stage where memories resurface, mysteries deepen, and relationships are tested. Imagine opulent rooms tailored to each character’s life, the allure of an island steeped in history, and the unsettling feeling that someone—or something—knows them better than they know themselves.
The characters? They’re unforgettable. Amelia, the driven attorney with a lonely streak. Ben, the tech genius whose charm masks his restlessness. Claire, the quiet bookstore owner with dreams still waiting to be fulfilled. David, the journalist with a past he can’t escape. And Emily, the fashion designer whose vibrant exterior hides her own insecurities. Each of them will feel like someone you know—or someone you’d like to meet.
From the first page, The Invitation pulls you in with its richly detailed setting, complex characters, and a plot that keeps you guessing. Early readers are calling it:
- “A modern-day Big Chill meets Knives Out.”
- “Atmospheric, emotional, and downright addictive.”
- “A story that made me want to call up my old college friends—and maybe forgive a few.”
