Finally. I feel like I’ve been waiting forever on this book. Honestly it wasn’t too long I just couldn’t wait to get it. This book was unbelievable. I don’t even know where to start. There are so many great parts. Kai & Abby are a duo you definitely don’t want to mess with but I loved how fierce Abby is in this book. She is holding nothing back and determined to get what she wants. There was a favorite moment of mine but I can’t say because SPOILERS but oh my gosh. I laughed way too hard. I can’t wait to read the continuations of this series about the side characters. Jackson is still my favorite and the most sexy. This series is one you don’t want to miss. Talk about a page turner. Drew was absolutely incredible and is the BEST brother anyone would want. As always with Siobhan Davis you are about to go on a rollercoaster and there’s going to be a twist but this time it’s not what you think.
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
OMG this book is phenomenal!! I knew the conclusion of this trilogy was going to be amazing but Davis really outdid my expectations as she wrapped this all up. Full of drama, suspense, and curve balls on every page as Abby fights for what she wants in the only way she knows how in the toxic world she is stuck in. I couldn’t put it down. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
What is not to like about this book…or better yet the whole series. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve been angry and I’ve been in love with these characters. Siobhan, you never disappoint. The wait was sooooo worth it. I’ve already recommended this series to some friends and family members! I am sad that I finished the series because now I don’t know what to read until Jackson’s story comes out, but I could not be happier with the ending! I just love your writing Siobhan and I an patiently…or not so patiently awaiting another page turning, can’t put down, take the weekend off book written by one of the favorite authors of all time. You are absolutely amazing with a pen/pencil/computer or whatever you use to. You’re writing skills are off the charts. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
We finally have the conclusion to Abby and Kai’s love story. This trilogy has pulled out every emotion from me. I’ve been happy , sad , mad , angry , enough to want to throw my kindle and disgusted .
I love when books make me feel so much. It isn’t every book that I feel like I’m a part of the story. Siobhan has a way of writing like you’re right there with the characters, living in their world.
My biggest thing with the story is I feel like I still have questions that need answers. I think I know why one didn’t get answered. The main reason this book didn’t get 5 stars is because I don’t feel like I got the closure I needed.
I have to say some characters surprised me in this book! I fell even farther in love with a couple of them!! I really hope Drew gets a book because I’m so curious about him!!!
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!!
Wow…just wow!! I knew Siobhan Davis would not let me down. I entered the world of the Rydeville Elite only 5 short months ago and I feel like it has become a part of my life. I have never had a series that has consumed me quite like this one.
Abby and Kaiden are back. You can’t help but fall in love with them and the love they share. I caught myself hanging on to every word, waiting to see how they would overcome their trials and obstacles, for their ultimate happily ever after.
My favorite crew was there to help spice it up. I did catch myself rooting for the underdog in the story, because I wanted him to find the happiness he deserves. I am ecstatic that some of my favorite Elite’s, will be getting their own books next year!!!
Thank you for writing this amazing series. I absolutley can not wait to see, what else you have in store for us. The conclusion to this series was everything. 🙂 Thank you!
This book is so good!! This trilogy is AMAZING!! Siobhan has outdone herself and on top of her writing game with the Rydeville High Elite Series!
My emotions were all over the place. So many twists and turns.
Do I like this character? Do I hate them?
Are they good? Are they bad?
The rollercoaster of events continually kept my head spinning and my emotions in an upheaval. I hated putting the story down even for one second. Siobhan completely upped her writing game in this series.
Abby is one of the strongest, young characters I’ve probably ever read. With everything she has endured in her young life, she keeps her emotions in check even under the hardest of times.
Kaiden is a panty-melting heartbreaker and the love he has for Abigail makes him one of my favorite characters that Siobhan has ever created. His transformation throughout the series will make you fall in love with him too.
Sweet Retribution cannot be read as a standalone, you need to begin with the first book and continue with the second. The entire series is seriously her best work to date!
(This review will stay entirely spoiler free. Sweet Retribution picks up right where Twisted Betrayal left off and with the high intensity, suspense filled story you will need to read it to find out what happens to Abby, Kai, and the rest of the Rydeville High Elite.)
My head is still swimming from everything that happened in this. I thought the drama was intense in the first two books in the series, but this one upped the ante. Abby is back and ready for revenge, and it is epic. It was such a roller coaster of highs and lows, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. I love how this wrapped up Abby and Kai’s story, and I am so excited for the story to continue with some of the other characters in the future. I am already feeling the book hangover from this one.
***I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary ARC of this book.***
5 Amazing Stars!
What a wild ride! Siobhan never disappoints! This whole series…and this book in particular is absolutely amazing. Full of angst, suspense, revenge, heartbreak, twists & turns, and heat ! SO GOOD!!! It grabs your attention and interest from the first page. The characters and storyline was fascinating. Siobhan has really outdone herself! Bravo!
I was lucky enough to be a Beta reader for this series, and OH. MY. GOD!
I have one word to say right now, and one word only . . . EPIC!!!!!
I know we’ve all been waiting on pins and needles for the conclusion of Abby & Kai’s story, and let me tell you – it was so worth the wait! Siobhan Davis did not disappoint!
From Cruel Intentions to Twisted Betrayal to Sweet Retribution we have been in one helluva nail biting roller coaster ride of epic proportions – and the retribution is sweet indeed!
As always, I can’t say too much because I don’t want to spoil anything. I can’t say enough how much I loved every element of this series and I’m so looking forward to what’s to come – that’s how intriguing the secondary characters are. Hope we are more of Rydeville soon!
You’ll have to pick your jaw up off the floor multiple times- the world of the Rydeville Elite is patriarchal at best and horrifying at worst, but these are the realities of these privileged and talented teens. What is expected of them, how those around them operate, the mystery and twists and surprises will knock you off your feet, but you’ll get right back up again but at the core of this story with this crazy and dark world of the elite is a story of interesting, complex, soulful, and enigmatic characters that you love to hate and hate to love.
Like All Siobhan tells get ready for nothing to be as it seems, for some nuanced and complex story telling, for fatally flawed but endearing and full realized characters, for a story that has more twists and turns than a mountain road, and for an EPIC finale for this couple- with promise to come for some additional stories for our side characters. This world and these characters are so intriguing- by far one of my favorite series of all time! Dark, depraved, shocking, twisted, and totally addictive!
I cant get enough of this series Rydeville Elite #3 and this authors amazing work. Once I started reading this series I knew it was going to be one to capture the readers heart and mind and this had got me hooked. I highly recommend that everyone reads this series in order so you can see just how far these characters have come. In this book this author does give us a conclusion to these two and I’m not giving anything away as you must see for yourself.
Kaiden and Abby have and are still going through so much and every time they think that they have stuff in order and huge curve ball hits them again, but can these finally get the revenge that they so desperately seek? These two will grip your heart and not let go and in this book I was rooting for them both so much to get there very own HEA and I wasn’t sure how they would ever achieve that. They had my emotions up and down as I felt for what Abby had been though, but she is strong and she is a fighter I loved that this author written her this way.
This dark bully romance book was addictive and just like the other two in this series it was unputdownable and I cant wait to read the next in line. This is an amazing trilogy and this story was completely addictive and gripped me right fro the start, its full of twists and turns and oh my complete shocks that the reader will not see coming and will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is an amazing read and I truly enjoyed it.

I didnt want this series to end. I wanted to hang onto Abby and Kai forever and ever. And ever.
This definitely was the epic conclusion Ive been on the edge of my seat for since book one
I couldn’t put this book down, just like the other two. In Siobian style there’s twists and turns and your mind is blown….
Im telling you the surprises are endless.
Abby is my bad ass babe. Kai is my sweet heart in tats.
I can’t wait to get me some Jackson and Sawyer.
You’ve done it again ..i bow at your feet.
5 sweet stars
OMG this was the perfect ending for a couple that more than deserved their HEA. Abby and Kai go through so much ish in books 1 and 2… and yeah in this one too… because it wouldn’t be a Siobhan books if you didn’t feel a little bit stabby at some point…but, gah, their ending *heart eye emoji*
After the way Kai made me fall deeper for him in book 2 I didn’t think it was possible to love him more, but damn if he didn’t do just that in this book.
Our girl Abby maintained her queen status and was the architect for her own Sweet Retribution and *the word I want to use here would get my review blocked* but to keep it PG the bad guys should have never messed with her.
Get ready to duck and cover because this book is full of bombs dropping everywhere.
All the damn stars for this book!
Sweet Retribution indeed. Daaanngg, Y’all! So I had been chomping at the bit for this last installment of Abby and Kai’s story. Wondering to myself, is it really possible for Siobhan to top those first two books in the series? I mean come on… they were fantastic. Almost beyond being able to put into words, kinda of fantastic. Well folks SHE DID IT! Holy Crap on a stick, this book y’all! She took this one and kicked it up so far beyond anything I could have fathomed.
I went into this book with so many theories and predictions in my head as I’m sure you did too. Did she go through with it and Marry Charlie Barron? Will Kai walk away if she does? How could she even move on after learning what her father did to her anyway?
You might as well Chuck your theories at the door my friends, and buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride on a dark road, full of twists and turns. There’s gonna be forks in the road, crashes and casualties. I’m still trying to come down from it all.
I feel like my heart and brain and maybe even my stomach have been put through tumble dryer. This book gave me a thorough workover, that’s for damn sure. I loved every heart-stopping, stomach-clenching, mind-boggling, and jaw-dropping moment. Some of my theories were correct, some were not! They were ALL plotted to PERFECTION!!
The ones that weren’t, I totally get why she didn’t go in that direction. There were so many unexpected twists in this book. Now, I have no idea where in the world this amazingly talented author thought up these things, but I am BLOWN AWAY! This book was nothing short of twisted delicious perfection. This whole series is. But Sweet Retribution. GAH!! Abby and Kai make up my ultimate fantasy couple.
So many details and fine tuning had to have went into being able to wrap this story up the way it was done. I’m not going to give any specific details on anything, I will just say, I am in AWE! This is better that I could have predicted as far as the conclusion, and like I said some of my “hopes” or “theories” didn’t necessarily come true for this book. But I wouldn’t have her change a thing (if she asked my opinion. Lol) NOT ONE THING! I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Abby is a total Kick Ass kinda chick! In a world where women are viewed as less than, she’s dominated and decimated. Even in secrecy. She can kick ass and take names like no other. She can pound you with pearls on and a pencil skirt. Talk about Cut you with Class!!
She proved to everyone just how tough she is and how she won’t lie down and take what’s being done or allow anyone or anything to break her anymore.
Everything that happened in this book needed to happen in the way, in the order and in the timeline in which it did in order for us to get then ending that Siobhan delivered. I am so happy with the way this ends. I’m excited to know that while we are done with Abby and Kai’s story, we are not done with the world of
Rydeville and those we fell in love with along the way!
I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for “I wanna Jump him Jackson” and “ Serious but Sinfully Sexy Sawyer’s” books!!
My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
-Siobhan’s writing and The Rydeville are an actual OBSESSION for me! This book was so much more than I could have ever thought , or imagined.
I’m adding in a sixth star because this book actually deserves ten and because I’m as rebellious as Abby and the Rydeville Boys. Plus it’s My Blog.
– Holy Hot Day in the Morning !! Abby and Kai couldn’t be any hotter between the sheets, or in the shower, or on a desk… well you get what I’m saying. DAAANNNGGG! So Yummy Y’all!
Cliffhanger Warning-NO CLIFFY on this one. #PERFECTION more to come in this series. YAY!
I am so happy at how this turned out. So many things could, and have gone wrong for these two, but no one could be more suited to the other. Kai and Abby have is real, and intense and deep. Something that can not be altered.
“His arms around me are like a comfort blanket. His scent is like the familiar scent of home. The way he affects me is something I thought only existed between the pages of a romance novel.”
~Abby~
This book, and their story is epic. There is so much that goes on in this book, and it ends in such a sweet way (not normal for them) that you fall in love with the characters, and their story every new page. It was written so, so well, and it has everything you could want in a book. This is one of my favorite by this author so far. I loved this. Everyone needs to read Abby and Kai’s story.
“You are still the f****** air that I breathe. The blood pumping through my veins. The only reason my heart beats in my chest.”
~Kai~
This series became one of my top favorite bully series ever, I absolutely loved it, all the characters, Kaiden and Abby story had me feeling every emotion you can have in one story. Kaiden is on my top favorite book boyfriends ever. I didn’t want it to end, this story is just fantastic, superb, amazing and every other word you can add. Sign me up for a front row if these books get a TV of Movie deal. Siobhan Davis I am adding this to my review, you better invite me if it ever happens, I will be rooting for it.
#ABBY&KAI4EVER
FIVE CRUEL, TWISTED AND SWEET STARS FOR ABBY AND KAI !!!
I have to admit that I hate writing reviews for books like this one because I’m always afraid that I won’t say everything that is important about books/series like this one, that took my heart at beginning of the story and keeps it forever.
Yes, this book is one of those that keeps you awake all night and when you finish it, you just want more and more.
You want that series doesn’t have an ending because you feel like a part of that fictional family.
The first book I’ve read by Siobhan was “Cruel Intentions”.
That was the first time that I had a chance to read extremely dark high school bully romance which is definitely not for everyone because the whole series has a lot of triggers but luckily I didn’t have a problem with that.
So, I can say that the “Rydeville High Elite” series was the reason why I fell in love with dark high school bully romance trope.
Also, it was also the reason why I fell in love with Siobhan’s writing style which is unique and beautiful that makes you want to read all of her books.
And yeah, like I said before Siobhan is the QUEEN for good cliffhangers but she knows how to write the amazing ending.
So, this book surprised me in every kind of way and that very important because nobody loves predictable books.
I love Abby’s character so much.
There were moments when I thought she will give up but she didn’t.
She kept fighting and I’m amazed at her.
I’m sure that rarely anyone will stay normal after things that Abby was going through and that why she is so special.
She is the character who needs to be a role model to no just every girl but every woman because she showed in these books that women are not weak.
Women are strong and they need to be heard out and they also have the freedom to do anything they want.
Women need to show the world their confidence, fearlessness, and stubbornness because they are not the picture that man’s world made for them.
Yeah, I think that is the most important message in this series.
Kai.
Why can I say about this perfect boy?!
Of course, he took my heart but I wasn’t his fan in the first few chapters of “Cruel Intentions” but I must say he earned my love with his protective side for Abby in the other two books .
His love for Abby is palpable not just in his word and actions.
There is so much more than it can be described in words.
It just exists.
Abby and Kai’s relationship wasn’t easy from the beginning but they kept fighting through the whole series for their love and they did it.
And they got it.
They got what they wanted.
Because true love always wins.
I highly recommended these books to everyone who loves dark high school bully romance because they will keep you awake all night and give you a chance in some new world which will make you forget about your real-life!!!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
OMG, yes this is what I call a perfect ending to this awesome series.
As Abby tries to process all that has happened to her at the hands of her own father, she wants revenge in the worst way. With the help of her brother Drew, Kai, Jackson, Sawyer, and Xavier she knows those she can trust and those that must go down with her father.
While there is so much going on in this book and the whole series for that matter, you do not want to miss anything. Because this series has it all from suspense to drama, to lies and truth and sex and love. But what you won’t believe is what her father and the rest of his Elite friends are capable of.
So all I can tell you is you NEED to read this series, get something to drink, a quiet corner, a blanket and enjoy. You will not be disappointed. You will be surprised, intrigued and not able to put this book down. I can not wait for Jackson and Sawyer’s stories.
**I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.**
Hip hip HOORAY!!!! Sheer poetry in motion! Firstly if you’ve not read the previous books in this series then S T O P immediately, and start with book 1. It’s imperative to do so our you don’t understand all the crazy undercurrents of this story.
Book two picks up right where book one left us. ANYONE that doubted Abigail, her fortitude, fiery strength and backbone didn’t pay attention . She willingly marries Charlie so she, her twin Drew, and the guys can burrow into the mire and muck that The Elite organization, and specifically her father had been involved in. Looking for videos, paperwork, proof of deeds gone wrong. They’re more determined now to bring them.down than ever before. Not just for themselves but for the many innocent wives and daughters within The Elite dunno have no clue what happens behind closed doors. The ones that are aware can go down with the ship. *IF* of course they can find said proof. In the meantime Abigail had to grit her teeth and like a happily married woman to a man she no longer trusts or respects.
This series is filled with action and intrigue. Every move they make, her father and his lackeys are two moves ahead! How and why?!? All Abigail and drew knew, with more they’re learning daily is this organization MUST go down no matter what.
Sit back and enjoy watching A in her element . Not a door mouse any longer, she charges ahead with plans and back up plans. Pitching ideas that are respected. Even in book three there are some massive shockers!!! Yet some are thankfully of the wonderful side! We see every phase of humanity in these books. Everything from remorse, grief, love, respect, anger, apathy, loathing, relief and justification among a few. I LOVED seeing Abigail rise and with help from those she trusts yield punishment. The Elite won’t ever think women weak again after this
I’m THRILLED we will continue to see these characters in future books about all the guys. Catching up with faves while seeing new faces possibly find love. One thing I’m fairly certain of us this group will ALWAYS remain close!
Oh my Siobhan has destroyed me and then put me back together completely through this series. This book has the most appropriate title! I’m not going to get into much detail because I don’t want to leak any spoilers but I am going to say that every good that could happen pretty much did in this book with only the exception of a couple of things! I love the ending Kaiden and Abby get! I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the series because I have fallen in love with the side characters as much as the main chapters in this series. Perfection!!!
