The Bargaining by Carly West 403 pages
The fact that neither of her parents wants to deal with her is nothing
new to Penny. She's used to being discussed like a problem, a problem
her mother has finally passed on to her father. What she hasn't gotten
used to is her stepmother... especially when she finds out that she'll
have to spend the summer with April in the remote woods of Washington to
restore a broken-down old house.
Set deep in a dense forest, the
old Carver House is filled with abandoned antique furniture, rich
architectural details, and its own chilling past. The only respite Penny
can find away from April's renovations is in Miller, the young guy who
runs the local general store. He's her only chance at a normal and
enjoyable summer.
But Miller has his own connection to the Carver
house, and it's one that goes beyond the mysterious tapping Penny hears
at her window, the handprints she finds smudging the glass panes, and
the visions of children who beckon Penny to follow them into the dark
woods. Miller's past just might threaten to become the terror of Penny's
future...
