Blurb:


A girl in love with a ghost. A ghost in love with a girl. Neither of them believes in happily ever afters.

Eighteen-year-old Winter doesn’t believe in happily-ever-afters, even though she helps support her family by weaving stories about them. While some people visit Lago Caverns to experience the absolute darkness and ghostly atmosphere deep below the ground, most visitors come to hear Winter’s stories.

When a teacher goes missing amidst some ghastly rumors, Winter is the only person who believes something more nefarious is at play…especially when the teacher’s absence spells trouble for Lago Caverns. Armed with the friendship of a ghost, her own fearlessness, and her ability to craft stories that leave listeners spellbound, Winter will get to the bottom of this mystery and save her land.

My Review:

Hollow Wishes is not only a ghost story but has a little mystery mixed into its mist. Hollow Wishes tells the story of a young girl who likes to tell stories and when she was a little girl she asked her mother for permission to work in the families business Lago Caverns where she is a tour guide and she tells stories about people and things that happened in the caverns.

Winter has always loved being in the caverns and telling her stories especially when people listen. When Winter tells a story people are mesmerized. Winter has found a friend, who lives in the caverns, a ghost actually.

One of Winter’s teachers goes missing and Winter believes that it may have to do with rumors that have been going around the school. She is not a sleuth but is set on finding out where her teacher is and what happened to him.

When I read the summary for Hollow Wishes I though yeah I got to read this one I had a few questions that could only be answered if I read the story. Like does Winter, as a tour guide tell stories that are true or legend from the caverns or does she make up her own stories. Another question I had was what was it like to be in love with a ghost? Yeah how does that one work out for her?

Hollow Wishes was very quick read that kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next. When Winter was telling her stories it was very thrilling and chilling and I got so caught up in it so much so that it was like I could feel the chill in the air running through my bones. Oooh…..oooh…. I can’t wait to see if Winter has more stories to tell us.

If you like a good ghost story with a little mystery to solve then you are going to fall in love with this little gem, Hollow Wishes.
