Wicked Regrets (Haunted Halls: Winter’s Cavern Book 3) by Juliet Vane is a wonderful story to read. This book number three in this series and I loved reading this story.I highly recommend this story to all.
When Winter finds out that her mom and aunt are still discussing selling Lago Caverns she has to find a way for them to keep it. Winter has been working in the family business ever since she was a little girl. Winter loves doing tours of the caverns and telling ghost stories to their customers. Winter is also in love with one their permanent residents at the caverns a ghost named Garrett.
Winter has an idea of how to save the caverns but it may be too danger for her alone. So when she learns of her best friend’s family’s predicament she enlists their help for her idea. If what she has in mind works out then it could benefit both families but could also put all of their lives in peril.
Winter’s plan to save the family business could also mean she loses her boyfriend Garrett but he has been distance as of late anyways. Garrett is not coming around as much anymore. He tries to tell Winter that she needs to get out more and be with her real, live friends.
Can Winter save the caverns? Will she lose her ghost friend? Can she save the caverns and keep her ghost friend too? What is Winter’s plan? How will she save Lago Caverns?
I love the world of Winter’s Caverns and hearing her tell her ghost stories. When I am reading Winter’s story I can see it playing out in my head like a movie. It’s like having esp and being able to imagine what the author has written of seeing the words come to life in your head.
When I picture Winter I see her with a dress on with a poodle skirt like but without the poodle and flat shoes sort of like ballerina shoes but leather. I can see the caves with the front desk and maybe a little gift shop with customers standing around waiting to be taken on a tour maybe inspecting all the merchandise.
I can picture the lights strung along the top of the cave. I can see the stairs that lead further into the caves and while their walking down the staircase I picture them looking over the side and down further in the cave and maybe it has water running. I can see Winter standing at the top of the staircase telling her ghost stories to the customers before heading down. I can see Garrett semitransparent like he is blinking in and out of existence.
Wicked Regrets is a short read but it reads like a full length novel. It will grab your attention on the first page and pull you into Winter’s world. Whenever I pick up one of Winter’s stories I can’t seem to put it down and have to read it all in one sitting. I can’t seem to get enough of Winter.
If you like reading ghost stories or just looking for a great book to read set in an amazing world with great characters then Wicked Regrets would be that book. I would highly recommend Wicked Regrets to anyone who likes a good ghost story.
This is a great book that I would highly recommend. It has a great range of characters and unexpected twists to the story. I love that the main character is such a strong female who would do anything for her family and friends but stays true to herself. I couldn’t put it down and it kept me captivated from the first word to the very last one.
What a wonderful wrap up for a series!
Ms Vane weaves such a wonderful tale, much like Winter in this story. Her characters are so easy to relate to and real and the setting of the caverns amazing. It makes me want to explore right along with Winter and her friends. All the creepy from the previous books exists in this one as well. I think that’s what I like the most. This is dubbed as a YA series but I’m in my mid 50’s and absolutely loved it. Please don’t let the YA classification turn you off because the writing is so well done. The series is wrapped up very well and all loose ends are revealed to us. Bravo Ms Vane for this series!!
I received an ARC. This is my honest review.
Oh wow! Everything comes to a head in this book! Winter and her friends face struggles, betrayal, and terror. Wonderfully written and sucks you into the story completely! I loved it!
