GoodReads Description: "Everyone knows the story of “the girl from Widow Hills.”
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."
She's the girl who lived. Arden Maynor survived a hellish ordeal as a child and received national attention. But she doesn't even remember it and just wants everyone else to forget too and leave her alone...
She doesn't get her wish.
This book did a really great job of creating a creepy atmosphere. The characters were checking over their shoulders and locking doors and it made you want to do the same. That was what I loved best about this book.
Honestly... the plot seemed a little way out there.... BUT if you can suspend believability it was a entertaining read with a nice creep factor!
