Book Synopsis:
Everyone knows the story of the girl from Widow Hills.
When Arden Maynor was six years old, she was swept away in terrifying storm and went missing for days. Against all odds, she was found alive, clinging to a storm drain. A living miracle. Arden’s mother wrote a book, and fame followed. But so did fans, creeps and stalkers. It was all too much, and as soon as she was old enough, Arden changed her name and left Widow Hills behind.
Now, a young woman living hundreds of miles away, Arden is known as Olivia. With the twentieth anniversary of her rescue looming, media interest in the girl who survived is increasing. Where is she now? The stress brings back the night terrors of Olivia’s youth. Often, she finds herself out of bed in the middle of the night, sometimes outside her home, even streets away. Then one evening she jolts awake in her yard, with the corpse of a man at her feet.
The girl from Widow Hills is about to become the centre of the story, once again.

My Review:
This was a beautifully written, addictive story which I really enjoyed. I’ve been a fan of this author for a while and in my opinion she keeps getting better and better.
This story gripped me from the start when the reader is first introduced to the intriguing storyline concerning Arden’s disappearence. I found myself quickly intrigued as to what it would have been like to be trapped in such a way and how utterly terrifying it would have been. Having read a few of the author’s books I also wondered if everything has actually happened as Olivia/ Arden remembered or if things weren’t quite as they seemed. All of this helped ensure I was soon thoroughly engrossed in the book as I wanted to find out what would happen and if I was right.
Olivia is a very sympathetic character who I quickly warmed to, especially when I realised how affected by the incident she still was. I felt sorry for her as she seemed to have cut herself off from the world in her remote cabin and hardly has any friends to talk to. I found the fact that she had no memories of the incident very interesting and I slowly felt more concerned about her as I read.
This book was a bit if a slow burner, with the pace gradually increasing throughout the book as the investigation continues. The author manages to blend past and present together really well, using interesting extracts from various sources as snippets from when Arden originally disappeared. There were lots of twists and turns which kept me guessing, along with a few false leads which had me unable to put the book down towards the end.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Corvus for my copy of this book.
