Unraveling Isobel

(2) YA Isobel's mother's remarriage means a creepy new stepdad, a hunky but hostile stepbrother, and a ramshackle mansion (complete with ghosts) on a foreboding island. Isobel, all snark and sharp edges covering some intense vulnerability as she continuously checks to see if she has crossed into mental illness (as her father did when she was young), is a compelling narrator.
