"When Arden Maynor was six years old, she was swept away in a terrifying storm and went missing for days. Against all odds, she was found alive, clinging to a storm drain. Fame followed, and so did fans, creeps and stalkers. As soon as she was old enough, Arden changed her name and left Widow Hills behind.
Twenty years later, Olivia as she is now known is plagued by night terrors. She often finds herself out of bed in the middle of the night, sometimes streets away from her home. Then one evening she jolts awake in her yard, with the corpse of a man at her feet."

Wow. 'The Girl From Widow Hills' is brilliant. I was mesmerised by the captivating style of writing, the distinctive plot and the interesting characters. I easily became emotionally attached to Olivia, and urged her on, to find the truth.

This book came so close to being my first five star review, but I do feel that the ending was squeezed (a bit too tightly) in to the last twelve pages. It was a good ending, but I just needed a little bit more..
