The Haunting of Jessica Raven by Ann Halam, YA pseudonym of multiple award-winning British sf/fantasy author Gwyneth Jones (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia), whom I've mentioned previously was one of my childhood influences in getting started reading sf/fantasy in the first place. This is 2nd in her Ghosts and Other Hauntings series of tween/YA sf/fantasy/supernatural adventure/suspense thrillers, originally out from Orion Books in 1994.
Jessica Raven dreams of finding a cure for her brother's fatal illness, but she knows it isn't going to happen. Then on holiday in France she meets a strange ragged band of children. Who are they? What do they want from her so urgently? And who is Jean-Luc, the attractive but mysterious young man who seems to be in charge?
Jess is caught up in a game that's more than a game. How can she free Jean-Luc from the terrifying children, undead guardians of a priceless treasure? Maybe only Adam could help her. But Adam is dying, and the only man who could save him is lost . . . lost in a nightmare of the Nazi occupation.
Don't Open Your Eyes by "Ann Halam", 7th in the Ghosts and Other Hauntings series, originally out from Orion in 2000. The blurb looks non-sfnal, but a customer review says this has ghost story elements.
Moving into a proper house with a garden was a dream come true for Diesel and her mum and dad. The dream quickly turned sour when they found out they were living next door to the notorious Knight brothers (a crime wave all by themselves).
Every night, all night it was noise and loud music. When the boys' mother was at home for a change it was even worse, the screaming and drunken abuse never stopped. But Martin Knight smiled at Diesel as she walked by. Diesel smiled back, and with just that one smile they'd started something doomed that couldn't be stopped.
