The whole sleepwalking thing was kind of creepy it’s so scary to think that you can just get up and wander around doing things and not know it. But as the 20th anniversary approaches, Olivia is finding it harder to maintain her anonymity – especially when someone from her past appears in her front yard… murdered. Years of being harassed and judged (she and her mother received a lot of money as a result of the rescue) has led her to change her name and try to escape the pressure of the past. As a child, Olivia was swept into her town’s drainage system while sleepwalking, yet managed to survive three days and was rescued, becoming a national story in the process. This one is a slow burn yet has weirdly addictive writing. The Girl From Widow Hills by Megan Miranda – 3.5* So all in all a fine, middle-of-the-road read, but filled with those annoying little nags that so often mix into romcoms these days. Almost sounds… hypocritical? My final eye roll for this book was the fact that DeLuca dedicated the book to herself for being so amazing. It also really annoys me how frequently her female characters complain about men objectifying women, while also constantly going on about how hot men in kilts are. However, I do always find DeLuca’s books to be quite sexist against men, and this one was true to form, with Lulu constantly going off on mental rants about how all men are inherently jerks. I really liked these characters together. If you’ve enjoyed the earlier books in the series, you’ll probably like this one as well, as it has a lot of the same ingredients. I’ve enjoyed the other books in the series (although not as much as the first book if I’m honest) and appreciate the creative ways DeLuca finds to keep us on the RenFaire circuit. This series started with Well Met, in which the main character gets sucked into helping with the local Renaissance Festival.
