What. An. Ending. I don’t think I have the right words to express how seriously EPIC this book was. I don’t know that I could have asked for a better ending. The title says it all. I won’t say much, because I don’t want to give ANYTHING away for readers, but just know, this book picks right up where book two left off, and takes you on a freaking emotional journey. Just when you think you have it figured out, Siobhan throws you for another loop.
‘Sweet Retribution’ is the most perfect ending to Abby and Kai’s story. I also love that we aren’t done seeing these characters, as Siobhan has confirmed more books are coming involving some of the secondary characters in the series. So we will still get to visit with Abby and Kai and I couldn’t be happier. Siobhan made me fall in love with these characters, and for that I am grateful. This is a series that will be on my list of books that I reread because the entire series is that good. If I could give this book more than five stars I would because it is that amazing. Siobhan has a way with words that just grabs you from the start and keeps you turning the page until the very end. This is truly the epic conclusion we’ve all needed!
The final in the trilogy and it’s so worth the wait!!! We get an even deeper dive into the way the old elite do things, even at Parkhurst. Abby and Kaiden, along with Drew, Sawyer, Jackson, and Xavier are determined to bring down Michael and the old elite. New players in the game and a few character surprises (think Easter eggs here). Tearing down the old elite has become the end game for the group, if they can make it happen. All in the name of Revenge.
An EPIC conclusion to an EPIC series. This book had me on edge from page one until the very last page. This series is hands down my favorite out there. So many twists and turns. Kaiden and Abby’s story was pure perfection.
Perfect title for a perfect book! I wish I could give it all the stars in the world.
Sweet Retribution by Siobhan Davis is a dark high school bully romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Carly Robbins and Tor Thom. This is the third book in the Rydeville Elite series.
The book comes with a caution: “This is a dark romance, and some scenes may be triggering. Only recommended to readers aged eighteen and older.”
I absolutely love Siobhan’s books! She did an amazing job wrapping up Abby and Kaiden’s story. They started off messy, but they are amazing together. I am going to miss them! I can’t wait to read the next books in the series that will follow the other characters.
Carly and Tor did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life.
I would highly recommend this book if you like dark romances, bully romances, or romantic suspense.
Audio review: I loved the audio of this whole series. It made me remember things I forgot the first time of reading.
Wow what a book Kai and Abby amazing couple. Loved the twisted and turns and the unexpected.
Normally you can see what coming but I couldn’t pick up everything for this one. Loved the whole 3 book series and it one of my favourite of this year.
Anyone who likes dark romances i recommend this series!
I am looking forward to all the future books in this series!!
I can’t get enough of this series! I’ve been totally sucked in since book 1 and there’s no stopping me! This book was freaking fantastic! I loved how devious Abby is. She is a badass! I seriously wanted to kill her dad myself for what he’s done and UUUUGH!! If one evil villain isn’t enough you add in Christian AND Trent! Like father like son with those two degenerates! I was on totally high alert during this book. My heart was in my throat the whole time! Loved
Wow! This series had me up reading late every night. This series is loaded with betrayal, drama, suspense, sex & most of all love. It’s a page turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I can’t wait to read everything from this author.
This books totally deserves 5 stars and I will talk about why.
This was not only a well written story but had so much excitement it had my head spinning. While yes there was quite a lot more going on than in the previous book in the series it made sense for the way the author had split up the story. This book would not have had such a satisfying end if it hadn’t.
While there were still a few disturbing tidbits here and there, it was less haunting than the last novel making it a better read. The author took a lot of time developing characters and interweaving different storylines to create a cohesive story.
If you love bully romances, this is definitely the series for you!
Sweet Retribution picks up where we left off with Twisted Betrayal and the web is getting more twisted and dark. It’s an explosive and action packed, wild ride as they take on The Elite and try to bring down the evil of their parents. Kai and Abby are as perfect as ever and had the most perfect ending after everything that was thrown at them. But the thing I love the most about this book and the series is the side characters. I was just as invested in those characters as I was the main characters. I can’t wait to see more from these characters and where Siobhan takes the Rydeville story. Abby and Kai’s story is now a complete series and totally binge worthy. Five huge stars for this series!
This book was even better than the first two, but every time I thought it couldn’t get weirder, it did. The twists in this story are epic. Every time I thought I knew where things were headed, they detoured in a spectacular way. The prior story ended with an attempt to force Abby into marriage with Charlie Barron and I won’t say exactly what happens but this storyline adds so much to the plot and nicely sets up both the ending of Sweet Retribution as well as book four in the series, Charlie.
Abby and Kai are truly a team. The bickering has stopped. He’s no longer trying to control her and she doesn’t feel the need to prove anything to him. Now they’re working together and the surprises they have in store for the rest of us are impressive. There are a lot of times I was expecting the worst and, considering how the first two books ended, I was braced for a heartbreaker at the end but these two get the happily ever after I wanted for them all along.
The revelations they uncover in their quest are shocking and their world is more dangerous than ever but Abby and Kai really kick ass here. They couldn’t do it without their friends and they pick up an unlikely ally along the way who ends up being one of the keys to their victory. The ending is bittersweet for a few reasons because nobody comes out of this without scars but our MC’s are better off than ever before. Some of the villains get what they deserve, others escape. We’re left wondering if the elite has truly been neutralized or if that kind of evil is simply indestructible.
One of the things I really enjoy about this series is that it continues after this book but the rest are standalones because Abby & Kai’s story ended here. I love the idea of revisiting some of my favorite characters, especially Charlie and Jackson. And while there are rumors that Xavier plays a significant role in Sawyer, I would love for Xavier to get a book of his own. It doesn’t even have to be a romance because his life is fascinating already.
Explosive final to Abby & Kai story.
This final book was well worth the wait the twist and turn continue as your on the edge of seat flipping the pages biting your nails as you can not believe how the story evolve’s this is a brilliant epic love story with eye opening content. And I can not wait to see more from the characters as new beginning start from the explosive Finale. Well worth reading the whole series.
I’ve been so bookhungover since I finished these amazing and so damn captivating books from @siobhandavisauthor !! I actually had to keep away from reading a few days to heal my bookhungover, my emotions and my head. It was spinning!
5/5
How can I start to review these books? I can only start by saying, oh hot damn. What a rollercoaster! This is so much more than just a high school bully romance. There’s a lot happening and I couldn’t stop reading when I started. These books kept me awake at night, they kept my mind and body occupied from doing anything else but reading.
I will not spoil anything from this books other than that the main heroine in this book, Abby, is one hell of a girl!
I just habe to say it; READ THESE BOOKS, and you will understand why I’ve been so damn bookhungover for the past days
Incredibly intense roller coaster ride!
This series was such an incredible amazing all consuming roller coaster ride that involved cluster f after cluster f , shocking twists and turns around every bend , leaving me feeling like I need to take a deep breath because I held my breath so many times !!!!!!
Just a warning though these books are not for the faint heart or anyone easily triggered ! It’s a DARK , forbidden love , enemies to lovers , romance but also so much more .
Abby is the daughter of a founding father of the elite , and he’s a bastard – calculated , manipulative , cruel and just evil.
She’s forced into many horrible situations but she’s a fighter and she won’t let him break her.
Kai is new in the elite circle and he and Abby share some unchartered chemistry ! It’s HOT ! He’s a bully and he shows no mercy .
Their journey is not pretty and it’s not smooth but they are meant for each other and they do get their HEA !
I have devoured these books in just a few short days and loved every minute ! There are more books to this series too with other characters from this story so I’m excited to keep reading and seeing where else the author can take them !
Wow! This book picks up right where the last one left off. And what a ride! I loved Abby and Kai. This was such a good trilogy filled with twist and turns that I didn’t see coming.
Wow, this trilogy was absolutely amazing!!! I have loved everything I’ve ever read by Siobhan Davis, and this is right up there with my very favorites! Kai and Abby’s chemistry was explosive, and I loved their banter back and forth. This whole trilogy was action-packed from beginning to end, and I just could not put it down. Needless to say, all three of these books are highly recommended!
Each book in this series was twisted, but so good!
I am glad there were plenty of curveballs thrown out unexpectedly. Glad things turned out different than expected, as well. Can’t even imagine how it would have all turned out if the story would have stuck with the course of things.
The characters were out of this world. Many were screaming to have their stories told. Originally, I really believed there was no chance of redemption for Charlie. I even screamed at my sister that no matter the outcome, there was no way Charlie would be in my good graces again. Still not sure if I can move past everything he did, but at least I don’t hate him anymore. I am dying for a taste of Sawyer and Drew’s stories, though. Those two have so much to say.
And though I am glad the story has reached its HEA, it is still very much bittersweet. Abby and Kai really steal your heart. Glad they finally got the ending they deserved.
Retribution not sweet enough for these terrible men, especially Abby’s father. Death was too easy for him, he should have suffered for all the wicked things he did. Underestimating a woman that is scorned can be a dangerous thing and Abby was never going to be broken no matter how hard they tried. She had the help for wonderful friends. They made a lot of mistakes and she lost trust in the but when she needed them they were there for her. Even though I think the consequences for the elite men should be more harsh, the conclusion is still good. It’s a brilliant series.
So very good. Couldn’t put it down.
Epic conclusion to the Rydeville High Elite series!! It was twisted! This book took me on one heck of a roller coaster ride! I’m so sad it over! This is definitely one trilogy I will forever have in my heart!!
I truly struggled to enjoy the conclusion to this series.
Our main characters just don’t speak like the teenagers that they are and it was really hard for me to continue looking past that.
I did love the hard won justice for these characters though. Siobhan Davis was able to truly make my heart ache for all the characters within this story as well, not just our main two Abby and Kaiden. Specifically Charlie … I mean, it takes some talent to make a reader feel for him the way I did. I can’t wait to read his story later on as well as the standalones for Jackson, Sawyer and Drew! I’m super excited about those!
