Trick or Treat

Martha's Dad has just remarried, and his new wife, Sally, has found a perfect house for them to move into. When Martha and her Dad arrive at the house, which is isolated in the woods, Martha really hates the house. It's dark and creepy with shadows in the corners, her bedroom is abnormally cold, and she feels as if she's being watched. Also living in the house is Sally's son, (Martha's stepbrother) Conor, who is a year older than sixteen-year-old Martha. After Martha makes some friends at school she finds out that her new home (the old Bedford house) is supposedly haunted. A young girl was murdered there a year ago on Halloween---in her bedroom! The worst part is Martha bears a resemblance to the dead girl. And she's starting to receive threatening phone calls. One night, a scarecrow is found hanging outside her bedroom window with a knife in its head. Then her Dad gets a phone call and he has to go work on an assignment in Hawaii, and goes with wife Sally, leaving Martha alone with Conor in the creepy house.This was an enjoyable read, it started and ended well, even though the middle was a bit slow. It had a dark, spooky house, a cemetery/mausoleum out back (in the woods), whispers and cries in the night, and surprisingly, a little/slight romance. There wasn't much Halloween in the book, except for the last couple chapters. This was an okay young-adult suspense story.
