Quinn Hadley thought she had left her sleepwalking behind when she turned 16. However, it has come back. Her long-suffering roommate Tobie Thomason has had to stop her several times. The condition is not only embarassing, it's dangerous. As a teenager, she was told the condition was caused by stress, and Quinn admits that life in college hasn't been easy so far. There are difficult classes and her main squeeze Simon Kent is seriously ghosting her. She has her friends' Ivy, Suze, Danny's support, and a sympathetic ear from some residents of Nightingale Hall, but Quinn is determined to not be a burden and deal with the problem herself.
Things are about to get worse, however. As Quinn discovers that she's getting up to a whole lot more mischief asleep then she could have dreamed of. Or something.
'The Night Walker' is one of my favorites so far in the series. It's well plotted and as ridiculous as some events become, the sense of danger here is much more realistic here, and therefore more scary. Quinn is herself proactive about her problem and takes some steps to get a handle on her condition instead of falling to pieces. She is a bit unreliable at times about giving us information, but that's part and parcel with most thrillers, so that's probably a plus to most other readers. As to where this fits on a greater timeline within the series, I can't say exactly, though there are character references to the first book and 'Scream Team' so we're still talking about a devastating level of attacks and/or deaths on campus in a small time frame.

Next #10: 'Sorority Sister'
