"IAIN ROB WRIGHT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME!" - JA Konrath
Alfie Everett is living his best life as a successful online content creator, exposing 'wolves' online with his friends. A wolf is an adult man or women who chats with minors online, grooming them and gaining their trust before trying to meet up with them in person and...
But Alfie never lets that happen. Instead of innocent young lambs, these predators only ever find themselves face to face with a camera and a folder full of evidence, exposing their faces–and their perversions–to a massive online audience.
Alfie's latest target is a wolf named 'Claypole83.' But this online episode is going to turn out very differently than planned. Claypole is an extremely dangerous individual, and it's a very very bad idea to piss him off.
Some wolves are not meant to be teased.
THIS BOOK IS A STANDALONE ENTRY IN THE 'CURSED MANUSCRIPTS' SHARED UNIVERSE
On December 21, 2012, according to the Mayan Calendar, the world was supposed to end. It didn't. But on that day, 113 mysterious manuscripts were discovered around the world, each one written in blood by an unknown author. After several dozen unexplained deaths befell the finders of said manuscripts, a decision was made to lock them up for good in a secret vault beneath the Vatican. It is said that anyone who reads the stories will die, and as such they are now referred to as 'The Cursed Manuscripts.'
In December 2020, new manuscripts started turning up around the world. 'Bad luck' was one of them.

Rough entry
I don't know about this one. I've loved all the Cursed Manuscripts so far but this felt like the weakest entry, especially with subject matter. I didn't care for Alfie and his friends (Ezra was only decent person) and I didn't relate to them. One part I found completely unbelievable was explained in the end, so I'm glad that wrapped it up (spoiler listed below). I really didn't enjoy this anywhere near as much as the other entries.
****Spoilers****
The part I found unbelievable is that the police refused to work with them to catch these predators. I don't think there is a cop anywhere that would pass on the gift of arresting pedophiles. This was explained away though in the end because the sister of this family of pedophiles/serial killers is the Chief Inspector of the police department. So I'm guessing she made the police stay away from them as the very first video was of her little brother getting caught. But that begs the question of how is she not investigated for that coverup since it is very clearly her brother. And how, in the investigation of her brother, does the rest of her family's murders not show up?

It was fine.
Pretty annoying characters though, wish they'd dug into the stuff regarding their channel a little more.

Probably a 3.5 read from me. The writing was good, as usual, and the story was ok, a bit predictable as elements are revealed. I felt it kind of dragged after the first few chapters, I would have liked a bit more on their channel rather than diving quickly into Claypole terrorising the group. It felt rushed, and then it dragged, and then it upped the pace again for the ending. And as for the ending, I didn't really feel there was any need. I mean, a sequel? Really? I didn't feel the story deserved one. Would have been fine as a standalone book, as per the other "Cursed Manuscript" books.

I had to give up ar 50% because of a huge plot hole I simply couldn't get past. The story wants us to believe the police can't find the villain, he's this mysterious cipher AND, AT THE SAME TIME, he's known. He mentions at one point how he's lost his job and his family. If those losses occurred, wouldn't the police be able to find him easily and arrest him? Maybe it's me and I'm missing something, but what I perceive as a lack of sense destroyed my sense of disbelief and wrecked the entire novel for me. And that's a shame because this was a new-to-me writer and his other books, as this one did, looked intriguing. Now, I'll never check into any of his work. NOT recommended.

2.5*
Perhaps inconveniently for the story, I picked up Invite the Wolf without intending to read any of the other Cursed Manuscript novels, but I was fortunate to find an experience that works well as a standalone, managing to tell an engaging and high-stakes story without requiring knowledge of the previous books in the series. Invite the Wolf caught my eye because its plot promises a fast-paced game of cat-and-mouse between a group of vigilante hunters and a man they severely underestimated, and it definitely delivered that... but sadly, that was all it delivered.
The novel is okay; it doesn't leave much of an impact or provoke thought, but it is a heightened and intense read that keeps the pages turning. I did, however, find it difficult to connect with the characters because of their cringeworthy language and actions, as well as their overall lack of redeeming qualities. Perhaps I'm not the right target audience for this, but I recoiled every time the phrases 'that's fire' or 'chill bro' appeared on the page. I would have appreciated a bit more depth—perhaps exploring their individual backstories or delving deeper into the internal dilemmas faced by Alfie and his friends. The premise here is very intriguing, but sadly, the execution falls short.

vivid imagery , compelling story
I was quickly taken in by this book. It’s a well executed story that really delves into a twisted nightmare for its characters. I read it and felt the characters pain. I love this author, all of his books have been amazing, I can’t wait to read more!

Plot mistake after plot mistake after plot mistake
First off, if you are more than 25 or 26 years of age, you are probably not going to be able to handle this.
It's written well enough I guess. I had heard this guy was the second coming of Stephen King and that is laughable to say the least.
As I say, it's written well enough. There is a little bit of character development but it is very superficial.
Things just happen. There is a scene in people are around and then something just happens. There's no explanation you don't know why it happened things just happen. There's no build up and there is no fallout.
Spoilers from here......
And let me tell you, about 42,000 times after the bad guy enters the scene, the good guys have opportunity after opportunity to put him down for good, and they don't.
You are seriously going to be yelling at the book like I was at the absurdity of what they do and don't do after they realize how dangerous this person is.
I am serious. I understand in dramatic books where you think the bad guy is going to be defeated, he comes back miraculously and makes a final stand.
In this book, the four main characters go out of their way Time after Time to do everything they can to put their lives in danger and allow this maniac to continue to do whatever he wants.
The ending, where two characters survive, is going to upset you so much like it did me, considering which two characters were allowed to survive, that probably like me, you will never read another piece of this author's writing.
There were so many reviews that made me think I was really going to get into a well-written, dramatic, horror story that I was excited and planned my time for a two-day read.
I gave the book it's chance and read the entire thing. I am not happy I did. About 10% into the book I could tell it was written for teenagers and 20-somethings who are mentally and emotionally immature, and not for mature adults.
And believe me, if you hang in there long enough, and I don't recommend you do, to find out the so-called "twist" regarding the killer and his family, you will literally laugh out loud like I did.
I appreciate that this writer has lots of books so at least he is prolific, if not very good.

Invite the Wolf by Ian Rob Wright
☺️☺️☺️☺️
I honestly really enjoyed this book. I've always wanted to write a story about luring and catching pedos, mine would definitely lean more into splatterpunk territory, though!
Ian's books never disappoint. He's a solid writer and a great storyteller. If you're looking for more PG-13-style horror, he's definitely your guy. I personally prefer more gore, but I always know what to expect when I pick up one of his books, and he delivers every time.
The entire Cursed Manuscripts series is worth checking out. Each book stands on its own and is entertaining, though I do wish there were stronger connections between them. Still, it’s a fun series with consistently good writing.

I really have enjoyed The Cursed Manuscripts up to this point. This entry was fairly weak. The story started out with promise, but quickly turned into just another sort of spooky, kind of bloody, mostly schlocky horror book. The characters were unlikeable, the plot was rushed and yet felt like it dragged in places, I actually fell asleep at one point and dropped my kindle on my face.
It is an easy read, Iain is a good writer, though this jumps around a bit and it does seem as though things do not flow as well as some of his other writings. I give it 2.5 stars by comparison. No spoilers here, this one was not for me. It was a quick, bloody read, and I really hope that there isn't a sequel.

A twisted tale of hunters becoming hunted
Invite The Wolf, like the other Cursed Manuscripts, is a standalone horror novel which follows a group who pose online as children, luring paedophiles to expose them to the world online, and destroy their lives, hoping they end up not just ostracized, but imprisoned. Needless to say, things don't always go to plan and someone, whose identity they can't discern, comes after them. The torment escalates culminating in a surprise finale I won't ruin. Highly recommended!

Wow… Iain is a fantastic author but this book was next level. The ending was wonderfully written and without spoiling things, really brought a human quality to the characters. The finality of the book was a gut punch as it didn’t go the way I thought, but this further made me love this. The intertwining of the plot was so easy to follow and summed up quite nicely. The only bad thing about reading this so quickly (one night till 1am) is that I’ve got to wait for the next one…thanks Iain, such a privilege to let us into your world.
January 21, 2025
Another brilliant and disturbing addition to the amazing Cursed Manuscrips. I can truly say I have enjoyed every one of these books. This one dragged the violence and gore out over a more sustained period of time than the others, which isn’t really my thing, but the little pieces falling into place as I read, making connections between Claypole and the guy who took Alfie’s sister Daisy all those years ago and of course they left it on a cliffhanger to let you know that Sadie and Jaydon weren’t going to get away with it that easily. Awesome book. Will be waiting on the next.
March 26, 2025
I wanted to like this book, but instead became annoyed within a few chapters due to the incessant use of the words "babe" and "bro".
"You're good, babe."
"Come on, bro."
"Babe, it's not worth it."
"Bro, you know I love you like a brother."
ad nauseam
I also could not stand the higher-than-thou attitude of Sadie, especially at the very end.
Conclusively, I enjoyed many of the other The Cursed Manuscripts stories. This one, though, despite its interesting premise and beginning, quickly became underwhelming.

I've stopped wanting connections between the books in the series and now just enjoy them as standalones. And this is one of the better ones. Nothing supernatural, but a lesson on what can happen when hugely ill equipped laypeople inadvertently take on a family of psychopaths that mostly operate from the shadows. The main characters are psychologically messed up and deeply flawed, but in ways that allow them to remain relatable. And, as you should expect of Iain Rob Wright, the violence is plentiful.
November 23, 2025
Not my favorite book by this author but it was entertaining to say the least. Alfie and his friends expose predators in attempt to avenge his kidnapped sister. I really liked the idea and it read pretty well, there were just some aspects of the characters themselves that irked me. Alfie needed to do lots of self reflection, Sadie and Jay… well i don’t need to say anything there, and Ezra was a sweetheart who did no wrong. The beginning and the end were world class, the middle just got a little muddy for me

Another great book!
I love this series...well all of his series, but tis series is great because they normally all end bad...no happy endings here! This one was also hard because honestly it delves into something that's real in real life and when you read the end, it'll make you think " I wonder if there's a family like that out there like that " because if so it should scare you. Its a fantastic addition to this series!!

What happens when the wolf takes your sister? Then the wolf spends his life regretting he didn't get you too. What happens when you grow up and start to catch the undesirables on the Internet?
It's alfies life but is it the right life?
Good book and good premise. I didn't like Alfie though, I'm just not sure if he was meant to be likeable or not? It didn't spoil the book for me though but he did annoy me a lot.

Picked up towards the end
This was readable however for me it was not as engaging as Ian Rob Wright's previous work. The lead character was not likeable and fairly stupid, some of which was part of his character I guess, however made it difficult to build any empathy. The end of the book did turn into a good old Jason Voorhees level slasher-type fare with good pace which did redeem this a little

unexpected thrill
A bit different than most of his other reads but still very entertaining. I didn’t want to put it down and finished it in two days.
Most books are somewhat predictable with quick endings, but i feel like this one had a great ending with an epic battle. Like most horror movies where the bad guy just won’t dang die.
Ian has quickly become one of my favorite horror authors!

YouTube crime stoppers
Alfie and his friends ran a site that caught and exposed paedophiles. Their cha Mel was watched by millions and had made them quite well off and they lived well.
All that was about to change when they tried to expose Claypole. He wasn't who they thought he was. He was dangerous in a way they could never have imagined a d would hurt them.
A brilliant book that will keep you booked from the start. This is Iain Rob Wright at his best.

Inviting but not engaging
This story has the potential to be much more than what it was, i found myself wanting to hurry and finish it not due to the excitment of enjoying the book but to get through it i can move on to something i might like better. The only character that had substance was the main character the others just pop up making it impossible to feel anything when they're hurt or dying. I've read two other novels from IRW and i may add they were great thrilling joyride,thrillers but borderline horror yet still great stories well told especially holes in the ground check it out if that's your genra.

Loving the cursed manuscripts series. Love how you don't have to read them in order. This one was pretty good at the start and middle, that had me wanting more however once we got to the end and all the filming done and the never ending cycle of busey ready to kill I just couldn't do it. Started strong but finished weak for my taste.

2.5 stars rounded down.
The start of this book was more interesting than the end because it seemed like it was going to grapple with questions about vigilante justice and to what extent heroes become perpetrators. But, the story devolved into a seemingly supernatural threat. Wright certainly sticks to his genre, which is a shame because I like how he engages in contemporary debates.

A really good read
I liked this as lve actually watched programming about people doing exactly what the characters are doing in this story.
It seemed entirely possible that something like this would happen
I found the barn having no weapons kitchen knives ect, unbelievable. Also l would have assumed that the would already have alarm and cctv been in the middle of nowhere

Well I was a bit unsure of this at first with it not being my usual read but after some trepidation about the subject matter I really enjoyed it. So much so that I actually cried at the ending and that doesn't often happen, believe me. I haven't read any others by this author but I'll be looking out for them now.

Oooooh these cursed manuscripts are excellent bite sized horror books!
This one was horrific in that it was a hunt against hunters of paedos.
Gruesome in parts, exactly as expected from this author. Each one just gets better

Great as always
Another amazing addition to The Cursed Manuscripts, I am so addicted to this series. Each storyline is crazy good, and I am looking forward to many more. Lain Rob Wright is a great author, right up there with Steven King.

A rollercoaster
Exceptional tale exploring the human psyche. A great thriller and action packed. It makes us explore ourselves and our motives which is more scary in itself. This novel will change you.
