Twenty-five
year old Ivy Rowan rises from her bed after being struck by the flu,
only to discover the world has been torn apart in just a few short days.
But Ivy’s life-long gift—or curse—remains. For she sees the uninvited ones—ghosts of loved ones who appear to her, unasked, unwelcomed, for they always herald impending death. On that October evening in 1918 she sees the spirit of her grandmother, rocking in her mother’s chair. An hour later, she learns her younger brother and father have killed a young German out of retaliation for the death of Ivy’s older brother Billy in the Great War.
Horrified, she leaves home, to discover the flu has caused utter panic and the rules governing society have broken down. Ivy is drawn into this new world of jazz, passion, and freedom, where people live for the day, because they could be stricken by nightfall. But as her ‘uninvited guests’ begin to appear to her more often, she knows her life will be torn apart once more, but Ivy has no inkling of the other-worldly revelations about to unfold.
The Uninvited is an atmospheric, haunting, and utterly compelling novel.

My thoughts: Cat Winters. Will read anything she writes...forever. :D This is her first adult novel but it sounds just as wonderfully amazing as the other two, and I'm sure just as incredibly researched to put the reader right into the time setting.
This sounds all kinds of great! Love that cover too. I'll definitely be reading this!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A COVER NOW. And exactly, will read anything of hers now. :)
