Wicked Games (Hidden Valley Elite Book 7) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Christie Mitchum

Wicked Games by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow!!!! This is my favorite in the series so far!!!!

When I finished reading the prior book in the series, I thought I knew what this book would involve, but boy did Isla Vaughn throw me for a loop. I had no way of knowing what she had in store for me!!! I LOVED IT!!!

Shane has been an enigma for me since the beginning of this series! He has been a bit secretive, so I never really thought I knew who he was. To say he is complicated would be a huge understatement. He has actually become my favorite character in the series, and I feel like there is so much more I will come to discover about him. In the previous books, he has come across as extremely confident, but Vaughn showed me that he had to work hard to overcome some serious insecurities that our other main character, Winter, helped instill in him.

Like Shane, Winter, is a very complex, complicated character as well. To see Winter through Shane’s eyes, would make a person pretty much hate her. Thankfully, Vaughn gives Winter her own voice that allows readers to see her in a completely different light. I didn’t excuse her treatment of Shane, but she was just a child from a very toxic family. I was happy to see that she now had a family who loved her and supported her.

While this is a revenge, bully romance, it is SO MUCH MORE!!!! It is also suspenseful and full of twists. And, as usual, Vaughn leaves us with a HUGE cliffhanger. She outdid herself again…I will anxiously be awaiting what happens next for Shane and Winter!!!
