The Invitation: A Horror Movie LitRPG

The Game at Carousel, Book 2

Five heroes trapped in a horror movie must find their way out—and avoid dying for good—in the second installment of this imaginative LitRPG series.

Since they were lured to the festival at Carousel, Riley (the Film Buff), Antoine (the Athlete), Camden (the Scholar), Anna (the Final Girl), and Kimberly (the Eye Candy) have lived through entire horror movie plots. So far, Riley's survival strategy is working. He's high on his Moxie, Hustle, and Savvy stats. But his Mettle and Grit have dropped dangerously low, leaving him vulnerable. If he gets caught by a killer, he's done for. Plus, no one seems to understand what use Film Buffs are to begin with. What good is knowing the killer is coming if everyone else does too?

Worse, the stakes are only getting higher. Die in a successful storyline and you'll be back for the next one. But die in the wrong storyline and you won't come back at all. Because Riley has learned the secret of Carousel: that behind them every step of the way is a man with an ax, there to ensure any wrong storylines are immediately culled. And now Riley's beginning to think Carousel itself may be talking to him . . .

The second volume of the hit LitRPG horror series—with more than three million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Wow what a ride

Never did a LitRPG book consume me like this one. Must read. Probably one of the best written stories out there.

quality

unique take of litrpg that's been improved from book one. horror suspense and a taste of anthology. high quality of writing looking forward to book theee

Different experience/perspective from novel to audio

I really enjoyed the audio version of these chapters and found out I somehow missed the scrunchies story when reading the book. Also, the audio gave me a different perspective/feeling on Riley and how he’s treated in the story. I felt bad for all the characters equally when reading but I can’t help but feel especially sorry for Riley. It feels like he’s the ‘odd man’ out in his group after listening to the audio version but that may just be me. This book was totally worth an audible credit.

It's a nice change

I have never read a LitRPG like this before, but I really like how they do it. The whole series so far is a great read
