Valentine Getaway: My Bloody Valentine Collection

The third book in the bloody Valentine collection!! 💕

Girl's weekend getaway, Hell yeah! Unfortunately something sinister awaits them. The stormy atmosphere, the chilling shadows, and cabin seclusion are the perfect elements to get you creeped out. And boy was I.

Michelle has ensured me that cabins are not a getaway spot.

This is the ultimate Anti-Valentine’s Day thriller and I was hooked from the first page. Three women swearing off romance, hiding out in a remote lakeside cabin with junk food and horror movies? Honestly, sign me up. The cozy-girls-weekend energy mixed with simmering tension was chef’s kiss.

The atmosphere in this book is EVERYTHING. The relentless rain, the creaking boards, the flicker of a lantern in the distance — it all builds this delicious sense of dread. And when that scream cuts through the storm? Absolute chills. I could practically hear it.

What I loved most was the friendship at the center of the story. Victoria, Megan, and Shawna felt real — messy, betrayed, trying to heal. Their bond is what makes the danger hit harder. You’re not just worried about who survives… you’re hoping they all do. The emotional stakes are just as strong as the physical ones.

The pacing is tight, the tension doesn’t let up, and once the nightmare begins, it does not slow down. Power outages, washed-out roads, a killer next door — it’s the kind of claustrophobic survival thriller that makes you double-check your locks.

This is the perfect read if you love:
• Stormy, isolated settings
• Female friendship at the core
• High-stakes survival tension
• A Valentine’s Day twist that leans dark instead of sweet

This book proves that sometimes the scariest thing isn’t love — it’s what’s lurking in the cabin next door.

“Valentine Getaway” by Michelle Powers, part of the My Bloody Valentine collection, turns a friends’ weekend into a terrifying nightmare. This story had me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath as the tension escalated with every page. The fear is relentless, the suspense sharp, and nothing feels safe. A fast, chilling read.

Valentine Getaway: My Bloody Valentine Collection by Michelle Powers

I’m just gonna jump right in and say it: I devoured this. I flew through it. Every 45 minutes of it went down smooth, like a dark little treat I absolutely did not ration.

We’ve got three 40+ single women who collectively decide, “You know what? Screw Valentine’s Day, screw dating, screw men,” and book themselves a secluded cabin in the middle of foggy nowhere by a lake. Which—honestly—already feels like a win. Add relentless rain, power outages, zero phone signal, and vibes that scream this will end badly, and you’ve officially entered Horror Rule Bingo. And yes, every single rule is ignored. Obviously.

Reading this felt like watching a comfort horror movie—the kind where you’re yelling “don’t go in there” while still enjoying the hell out of it. Two cabins. One is supposed to be empty. (Narrator voice: it is not.) I genuinely forgot I wasn’t watching a movie and felt personally offended I hadn’t made popcorn.

Underneath the creepy cabin chaos, there’s actually something solid here: friendship, buried memories, and the uncomfortable truth that the past doesn’t stay buried just because you’d really like it to. It will come knocking. Possibly with murderous intent.

So yeah—four stars. Not because it wasn’t fun (it absolutely was), but because there are books that crawl deeper under my skin and refuse to leave. This one settles in nicely, pours itself a drink, and causes just enough unease to keep you turning pages.

Bottom line: grab this book, snuggle up, embrace the dark getaway, and enjoy the ride. Just… maybe don’t book a foggy cabin afterward. Or do. I’m not your mom.
