This was my first time reading a Megan Miranda book. Everytime I had mentioned to my thriller loving friends that I had never read anything by her yet, they gave me “the look.” After requesting this one to review, I can say that I am truly a fan. This book gave me many twists and an ending I did not see coming. That is an accomplishment because most of the time I do. To say that most of the time you don’t know what is going on is a good thing, since Arden has periods of blank memories where she was sleepwalking. It’s disorienting to the reader as much as to the main character. Highly recommend if you are a fan of thriller books at all.

Small Summary:
Arden Maynor was just a child when she was swept away while sleepwalking during a terrifying rainstorm and went missing for days. Strangers and friends, neighbors and rescue workers, set up search parties and held vigils, praying for her safe return. Against all odds, she was found, alive, clinging to a storm drain. The girl from Widow Hills was a living miracle. Arden’s mother wrote a book. Fame followed. Fans and fan letters, creeps, and stalkers. And every year, the anniversary. It all became too much. As soon as she was old enough, Arden changed her name and disappeared from the public eye.
Now a young woman living hundreds of miles away, Arden goes by Olivia. She’s managed to stay off the radar for the last few years. But with the twentieth anniversary of her rescue approaching, the media will inevitably renew its interest in Arden. Where is she now? Soon Olivia feels like she’s being watched and begins sleepwalking again, like she did long ago, even waking outside her home. Until late one night she jolts awake in her yard. At her feet is the corpse of a man she knows—from her previous life, as Arden Maynor.
And now, the girl from Widow Hills is about to become the center of the story, once again, in this propulsive page-turner from suspense master Megan Miranda.
