THE MOM???? I mean, I did not see this one coming. My heart was racing the whole time and I wanted Olivia/Arden to get the heck out of there the whole time. Spooky! Really grateful for the opportunity to read this book. Will recommend to others!

Megan Miranda does it again! This book drew me in right away and I honestly couldn’t put it down. The author has such an awesome way with words and phrasing. A way that I don’t think you normally find in the thriller genre. Her words at times are lyrical and poetic and show deep thoughts about life and our circumstances (especially in this book). This book was such a fast read and a great thriller!! I couldn’t wait to finish it!

What I liked: The main character was portrayed as a strong, self-aware woman who was able to survive a rather challenging childhood and rise above her circumstances. The way the author wrote the story and built the suspense, I had no idea who to trust. I doubted everyone Olivia came in contact with and suspected that they all had ulterior motives at some point in the book. I was also left guessing whether Olivia herself had committed the murder while sleepwalking. There were so many possibilities on how this story would play out and just when you thought you had it figured out, the author would lead you down a different path. I still didn’t guess the ultimate “bad guy” until the author lead you to them at the end of the book. It was definitely a surprise!!

What I didn’t like: The ending was a little rushed and I felt like there were a couple of loose ends that could have been tied up. I would have liked an epilogue or another chapter that jumped into the future to see how Olivia was doing once everything settled down. I felt like I connected to the main character and wanted to make sure she was okay when the story ended.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for a free ARC of this book!!

I have read this from a copy on Edelweiss!
This was a 5 plus star read for me, which instantly hooked me even more to Megan Miranda’s work. This book was so well written, with characters developed so well you had to find out exactly what happened, and original!! It had me flipping pages like a mad woman, trying to find out what had happened! Excellent thrills, spine tingling chills, and shocks are sure to be found when reading this book! I highly recommend to those who love the original thrillers!
Will make sure I buzz it up on all the different platforms!

Megan Miranda is a prolific mystery/thriller author, and I will continue to read her works. However, this story just didn’t hit all the marks. I felt like there were too many angles being examined and tangents distracting me from the nitty gritty heart of the story.

Confession time.... I literally took a personal day at my job because I was so invested in reading this book- I couldn't put it down. It was entertaining from page one, and I was completely thrown off by the ending, which doesn't often happen to me. Just a very well written, well-planned, highly entertaining roller coaster of a book. One of the best I've read in awhile!

As a child, Arden Maynor was famous for surviving a flood when she disappeared while sleepwalking during a huge storm. When she was found alive, everyone pronounced her a miracle, her mother went on to write a book and Arden became a media sensation. When all the attention and the creeps and weirdos became to much, Arden became someone else. Now an adult, Arden lives far from her childhood home and goes by the name Olivia, but she knows that with the twentieth anniversary of her rescue, the press will want to reopen the story. Her fears lead to another bout of sleepwalking, until the night she wake up in her backyard to find a dead man at her feet. A man from her past, one who knew her true identity. Miranda is fast proving herself to be one of the best thriller authors publishing today. Her legion of fans will not be disappointed
