Wicked Ends (Hidden Valley Elite #8)Wicked Ends by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isla does it again and again. This time it is with the delectably dark Wicked Ends. Wicked Ends is the explosive second book in this duet, but it is the eighth book in a series. Am I addicted. Yes I am!
This is one series that I have not been able to stay away from. I am sad to see the series end, but I have enjoyed the Hidden Valley Elite boys. I wonder if the wicked and darkness of these boys will carry over into a new series with them being older. Mmmmmmm food for thought Isla.
Shane may be one of the Elite but underneath it all he has a heart of gold. He is being pulled from pillar to post and it is that that could lead him further down the path of darkness.
Winter has had a life of darkness and one she thought she left behind. Together they could be toxic but apart they aren’t whole.
There is a lot of back and forth between these characters and some surprisingly shocking twisty turns that you don’t want to miss.
Revenge is a bittersweet thing!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This is an amazing ending to the duet and the entire series. It picks up right where Wicked Games ended. I would not start the series with this book. I think that is a given but I am just saying it. All of the books should be read in order in this series to really grasp onto the characters and their struggles. This book gave me some twists and turn from previous books that I didn’t see coming. It is what kept me on the edge of my seat reading this book. I loved seeing the other characters of the series in this book. I love the secrets that were revealed and it made me fall even more in love with this series. This book has the mystery, the steam, the amazing character development, closure, and suspense that make it a page turner. I couldn’t put the book down. I got mad at anyone who dare try to talk to me while I was reading. It is that good!!!! This series will be one that I will continue to reread, probably every year. I feel that with this book it almost makes you want to reread the whole series just to see if you can pick up on any hints throughout the other books that you missed the first time. This book is highly addictive and into it knowing you aren’t going to get much done but reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A bittersweet time, the end has come to this series. We pick up where Wicked Games left of with Shane and Winter. These two have already been through so much. Much of this book is spent dealing with and resolving the issues from their past. Many of the mysteries are solved. I do believe that these two turned into my favorite couple for resilience and strength. The battles they went through. The gang was in this story also: Cole, Damon, Phoenix, Riley, Skylar and Aspen. Mom and Grandad. Even Uncle Lucas had some issues resolved. The book will tie things up. I recommend you read this series in order. It really isn’t meant to be a standalone. It is one of the best darn series I’ve read. My favorite for the year.

Deceived by my heart.

Drowning in fractured memories.

Taken against my will.

Shane Bennett used me, and for nothing more than revenge.

I was a victim, and in turn, I made him one. But that was then. I’m different now—is he? Or is this the moment when everything comes crashing down.

The connection between us twists and stretches from the past to the present, abused and strained but undeniably intact.

Something—someone—is coming for me. As each threatening note is delivered, the secrets in my mind break free.

It’s in Shane’s arms that I feel the safest. But trusting him means that I’m putting everything in my life at risk.

Is he worth it?

Wicked Ends is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, bully romance with plenty of angst and a HEA. This is the conclusion of Wicked Games, and Winter and Shane’s duet. This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the seventh book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series. I am completely in love with this series. I am trying not to think that this is the last duet of the series because I just don’t want this all to be over. So finally we get Shane’s story. He has been such a mystery since the beginning of this series. At last his story begins to unravel. His and Winter’s story is so compelling. There is so much to dig into and uncover. I flew through this book and am now sitting here waiting until I can read the conclusion to this story even though i just really don’t want it all to end.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been reading all her series in Hidden Valley Elite and each time is better. I love all the characters in all her books. How each one has their own story to be told and each one comes together nicely.
In this story, we have Shane an athlete, plus a bodyguard to protect a female and then he meets with Winter who is his past from elementary.
Winter a new student, changing her life and hiding from her past meets Shane in a weird way. But toward the end can the past be forgiven or forgotten? Will this truth be revealed of who Shane really is?

Love her book’s amazing touch on the stories and the plots. Love the Enemies to Lover series.

This is the next installment in the Hidden Valley Elite Series.  Please check trigger and content warnings. Your mental health is important. This one follows Shane and Winter. And yes it ends in a cliffhanger. I am in love with this series and this one did not let me down! Their emotions and chemistry I just love it so much. And without spoiling too much you really need to start from the beginning to understand  everyone and everything.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Though this can stand alone you don’t want to miss the prior books in this series to understand who Shane is before this book starts.
Shane starts the series where we left off facing manslaughter charges for punching a guy for Erica the girl he was providing body guard services for. Thankfully video evidence clears his name but not everyone is happy about that outcome.
Enter Winter, a girl from Shane’s past, a girl that absolutely tormented him when they were kids and Shane has a plan for payback. What he doesn’t anticipate is the explosive chemistry and he’s caught between wanting revenge and wanting Winter.
She doesn’t remember Shane but he will make sure she does.
As always at the cliffhanger I literally say outloud to the author bro why you gotta play me like that???
But I’d read everyone of them over again and again full well knowing I’ll be desperate to read the next story because these characters are finally coming full circle and I’m going to be devastated when the series is over.

Within the first few pages I was drawn in and I could not put it down at all. I love how the author uses the other previous books in the series to intertwine what’s going on with this one. Also, there is a backstory on the history of Shane and Winter which is very well thought out. The story does flow very well together, goes from one character’s point of view to the other, very easy to follow.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book; it started right off where the last book in the series had left us hanging on the cliffhanger! Isla Vaughn is one of my favorite authors, she is an absolute genius when it comes to keeping you engaged in a book, that you never want to come to an end. The fact that every single major character that we met in the very first book in this series continues to get their turn at being the star of their mini-story in the Hidden Valley Elite series is so amazing. Not only do you get to know and understand them as if they are the stars, but their story does not end when their mini-stories, they continue to develop and grow as the story progresses in this series. Wicked Games allows us to get to know Shane, one of the twins, stories, as we learn about his struggles from childhood with the mysterious Winter. As Shane seeks to exact his revenge on his childhood bully, he doesn’t realize that he is starting to fall for her, all while dealing with his trial from a fatal accident he caused. I could not put this book down and am dying to see where the next book in this series will pick up, there are so many new questions that are left unanswered. I love the intrigue and the mystery that this latest installment in this series brings, from the twin’s dad and the role he’s trying to take in the boy’s lives. Aspen’s pregnancy is coming so close to her due date, the mystery behind Winter’s sister’s death, and her mother’s impending parole hearing. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book to come out!!!

Shane and Winters story is here! In this story Shane and Winter meet up again at Thane University, but Winter doesn’t recognize the boy that she once tormented on the playground. Shane on the other hand recognized her immediately. He has revenge on his mind but after they share a kiss he is having second thoughts. All of these books have been great and they all build on the one previously. If you intend on reading any of them you DEFINITELY have to start with book one. The twists and turns of this story will keep you hooked and wondering what happens next. It looks like the next installment of this series could be the conclusion and I can’t wait to see how the author ties it all up.

Wicked Games: A Dark College Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 7)

Just when I think I can’t get more addicted to these characters and this series I end up even more so then with the previous books. I have been involved from the very beginning and will there until the bitter end. These cliffhangers are killing me, but what a way to go.

Shane isn’t having the best year between what happened to his twin Phoenix, dealing with his grandfather and dealing his issues with his father and unfortunately it doesn’t improve from there.

Winter transfers in to Thane after a semester at her local community college not expecting to know anyone outside of her brother Jaxon. But runs into an old friend she hadn’t seen in several years.

So many things to discuss and questionsto ask, but won’t since I’m expecting all of it to be cleared with the next book. Though the thought of having to say bye to this group makes me sad.

I’m once again impatiently waiting for the next book to be released and have no doubt I will finish the same day as I have with each and every book before.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wicked Games by Isla Vaughn is book seven in her Hidden Valley Elite series. I would absolutely read them in order because they do all tie in and follow the same group from high school to college. After the way the last book ended I was shocked and so nervous for Shane. I’m glad to see things wrapped up but boy did he have quite the story with Winter. And Winter herself, she’s had a rough go with life and the things that she has seen and what happened to her sister. Without realizing it, Winter walked right back into Shane’s life and she can’t remember him. Shane on the other hand sees red when he looks at Winter, remembering the lowest point in his life. And yet, the attraction and pull between them is hard to ignore. Truly, I love this series and look forward to how everything plays out. But come on with these cliff hangers! I mean I’m going to keep reading so you don’t have to do that to me!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 7th book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series, and it can be read alone, but I would recommend reading all the series and the prequel in order as you get to know the other characters and see glimpses of who they are. As for this book, I have to say, “Wow, what a read!” This book has so much emotion mixed with highs and lows that I didn’t know whether to grab a tissue, or scream bloody murder during parts of it. Shane and Winter have a somewhat tortured past, but only one of them remembers, as the other has been trying to deal with things that completely altered her life. To me, this book by far has the most complex and well-written story yet! The way Isla Vaughn has interwoven such a storyline that evokes so much through the written word is so amazing and such a talent. I can’t wait to read the next book and find out what happens. Be aware this, like the rest of the books in this series, is a duology with the next book and ends in a cliffhanger that you definitely want to know more about.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this book we get Shane and Winter’s story, well at least the first half of their story as this ends in a cliffhanger that I didn’t see coming! Defiantly read the other books first as everything is intertwined. Winter has been raised by her foster parents and is now attending Thane University. She has memories that bleed through as nightmares that she can’t quite figure out. Her dad’s death, her sister’s murder. She meets Shane and she feels familiarity, but she can’t quite place it. She has been warned to stay away from Shane because he’s dangerous. She tries her best to stay away, but she can’t help the feelings that draw her to him. When Shane see’s Winter, all of the painful memories come back to haunt him as he sees the girl, now woman who nearly ended his life. He vows to get his revenge, but when Winter doesn’t recognize him, he starts to question if it’s really worth it. He has his own demons to deal with. I do not like his dad one bit. I think he’s got an ulterior motive and is up to something. I can’t wait to read the second book in their story. I have so many questions that I need answers to!

Winter never wanted to go back to where her life turned upside down. She was ready to face the past but she had no choice with her mother’s parole hearing coming up. What Winter didn’t realize is that going back to the source of her pain was exactly what she needed. Shane Bennet was going through his own turmoil. But when he had the chance to get revenge on the girl who nearly ended his life he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get revenge. What Shane didn’t know was that Winter was exactly what he needed. I am absolutely in love with this series. I can’t put any of the books down by this author. I can’t wait to see what else this author publishes.

This series has been absolutely incredible, but the installment I just read was astonishing!! I’m not sure how the author finds new ways to build the Hidden Valley Elite world that keeps me so intrigued, but they do it over and over again. I dove right back into this universe and was hit with ALL the feelings. I mean, this is such an emotional rollercoaster that kept me on my toes and guessing. Reading about Winter and Shane’s story was heart-wrenching and filled with danger, drama, and an intensity that made it impossible to put down. I definitely recommend reading the series from the beginning to get the best experience, but you won’t regret it whatsoever. This is one of my favorite series of the entire year!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wicked Games is Book Seven in the amazing Hidden Valley Elite Series. The characters in each book intertwine with the next book and builds on the previous one so I do recommend reading previous books in this series first. This book is full of angst, betrayal, love, deceit, lies, bullies, drama, tension, chemistry, passion, and an enemies-to-lovers romance. It centers around the characters of Winter and Shane and is told from each of their POV. The storyline starts off with intense tension and drama as Shane is pulled into a situation that could result in him going to jail on charges of involuntary manslaughter. Shane is a football player and is strong, smart, intense, dark, and dangerous. As one of the privileged ones of the Elite he has a reputation for playing to win at all costs and not allowing anyone to stand in his way. Winter has just started the semester at Thane University and is trying to put her dark past behind her. Although eight years have passed, she is traumatized by having to return to the place where her father died and where her mother killed her sister. When she runs into Shane at a local coffee shop, Winter is attracted to him and warnings of how dangerous he is fall on deaf ears. Shane recognizes Winter immediately and memories of her from his past come flooding back. Winter tormented him in grade school so horrendously that he wanted to end his life. When Shane has the opportunity to get to know Winter, he initially decides to plot his revenge against her for the years she bullied him. However, once they spend time together, he begins to see her in a new light. Can the two of them move past the hurt, lies, secrets, and dark pasts to have a bright future? This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride and was full of intense twists and turns that kept me riveted until the final page. And that cliffhanger, wow! Cannot wait for the next book in this fantastic series!

This book is book seven of the series. It is the first book of Shane and Winter’s Duet. This book was quite the ride!

Winter hasn’t had an easy life and now she’s choosing to go back to the source of all of her pain. She needs this though. She needs to work through and come to terms with the memories. When she sees Shane, she doesn’t know who he is but she can tell she’s meant to know him. The only problem is, Shane remembers exactly who she is. Shane didn’t think he’d ever have to see Winter again and now that he has, he’s not happy about it. He will, however, use this as an opportunity to destroy her. Will Shane’s plan work or will things change?

This book is just as good as every book in this series. You get sucked in and can’t wait to find out what happens. The character development is great. You can see them grow through the whole story. I absolutely recommend this book!

I am so addicted to this series, but these cliff hanger endings are killing me! Wicked Games picks up right where Cruel Love left off. We get to know Winter and see a new side of Shane. I can’t wait for the next one so I can see what happens next for them, both individually and possibly together. I hope the author releases a box set or the whole collection together so I can re read all in order. Now not so patiently waiting for November 30 so I can read Wicked Ends. But I don’t want it to end. I love these characters and am so invested.

Wicked Games is the seventh book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series and is a wonderfully written College Romance/New Adult Romance/ enemies to lovers Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I’m addicted to this series and I swear each book gets better and better. I’ve been patiently waiting for Shane’s story and holy heck she didn’t let me down. Listen folks if you haven’t already started this series do it now. There are characters that overlap with each book plus you get everyone’s backstory and get to know the characters better. This is Shane’s and Winter’s story we are taken back to where it all started. He’s out for revenge and she’s looking for answers . She doesn’t remember him but he remembers her. These two definitely had sparks. She is living in a nightmare that never ends and he’s dealing with his own personal nightmare as well. You guys this is a must read if you want to know what happens next. Bring on Wicked Ends I can’t hardly wait. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Shane Bennet feels like the whole world is on his shoulders: after his injury,  football is on standby position, school takes time if not effort, he cannot longer fight in order to release some tension, and now after an accident he must stay as close to perfect as he can.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t know why I expect any less than the best from this author’s books. I have been sucked into this series from the very beginning. I am so very sad to see the ending in sight.

This one picks up right where Cruel Love ended, with Shane in deep doodoo. Even though most of that situation is taken care of, the dark cloud it leaves hanging over Shane isn’t. He feels guilty about what happened and it is affecting him, probably more than he realizes. When a blast from his past is sitting in the local coffee spot, Shane just about melts down. The one girl he cared about since he was 10 years old. The only problem is that she did not return his affection, she teased and tortured Shane.

Winter needed to spread her wings after living with her foster parents for 8 years. Transferring to Thane University, where her foster brother goes, is one step she is taking to reclaim some of her independence. When Winter receives a letter about her mom’s upcoming parole hearing, being back where it all happened may not be the best thing. WInter’s mom killed her sister and nearly killed Winter when she was just 10 years old. Winter’s world was in turmoil when she met Shane and she did the absolute worst thing, she was cruel to him because she was in pain and no one seemed to care.

When Winter saw him on campus, she didn’t immediately recognize him. Shane had grown up and changed in the last 10 years. Shane understood this and, as part of his revenge plan, gave Winter a fake name. When Winter finds out who Shane actually is, it brings back a flood of memories from that time and the guilt and shame of what she did to him. Before Shane has the chance to explain, things start to heat up.

I don’t know if I can wait for the next book. I don’t know if I want to read it. I mean, I completely and totally do because I need to find out who did it. But that also means that the series is over and my heart will be broken. I imagine that the book hangover from this series will include a weekend in bed with some ice cream and binging the entire series again. I want to find out. I need to find out. I don’t want to find out. Bring on Wicked Ends.

Oh just in case I didn’t spell it out, this book was brilliant.

This book has some twist and turns. It was a great book. It’s a duet two strong stories in one. Winter was back and trying to work through all her trauma that she held. She has a trial hearing for her mom who killed her sister. Shane is the guy that always has one thing happen to him after another. He was facing charges for hitting a guy. Winter sees Shane and thinks he is soo cute, but Shane remembers what she did to him when they were younger.
