The Narrow

When Eden White can't afford her boarding school tuition, she agrees to move into a nearby house to look after a remote learning student named Delphine Fournier. Delphine is so allergic to water that she must be kept indoors at all time. She wasn't always allergic to water, but since she fell into the deep, narrow creek just off school grounds, she could die if she gets close to too much water or humidity. She's not the only one who ever fell into "the narrow" since it's a school tradition to jump across it, but she is the only person ever to survive. When Eden starts to see wet footprints on the floor, hear strange noises, and see a strange silhouette, she realizes that Delphine is keeping a secret and now it's threatening to hurt her as well! The Narrow by Kate Alice Marshall is a spooky fast-paced read for those who enjoy supernatural stories with a bit of romance included.
