Oh my! This is the last of book to Kaiden and Abby’s story and man is it an explosion of an ending. I found myself with my jaw on the ground with no chance of it coming back up. Siobhan has shown us once again her talent as a writer and kept us on a rollercoaster ride full of twists, turns, loops, and overall intensive emotional turmoil that will have your heart stopping over and over. I learned to love these characters and im sad to have to leave these characters. The author has managed to not only make us fall for the main couple but also several of the secondary characters as well. This story is so well done and it wraps up into a nice little package that will leave you replaying the story in your head well after its over!
I’ve read a lot of books written by Siobhan Davis; she has written another excellent book. She is one of my favorite authors.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book. The story continues from the Rydeville High Elite Series and keeps getting better and better. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
I loved the chemistry between Abby & Kai.

Sweet Retribution [Rydeville High Elite Series, Book Three] by Siobhan Davis
– . ’ , . ’ , . . . -Abby
*~*~*~*
: The final book in this series picks up right where book two left off…at the impromptu wedding of Abby and Charlie wherein SO MANY secrets have been revealed, but certainly not all of them.
Abby is ready to do whatever it takes to ensure Kai’s safety. She is hell bent on seeking revenge from those who have done nothing but use and abuse her—her own father topping her list.
Can Abby exact her revenge without losing her soul? Can Kai keep her safe? Even if it means keeping Abby safe from herself?
Or will the Elite prove to be too much for these teens?
*~*~*~*
: Hot, hot, HAAAAWWWWWT. .5 out of five, folks! After reading the first two books you KNOW we are gonna get some HEAT. Siobhan keeps it full of steam, variety, and frequency. There’s a conference room scene that had me sweating!
*~*~*~*
$: FREE with KU! This is a MUST READ series if you’re a dark and twisty romance lover like me. We get it all! Angst, secrets, steamy AF scenes. Go for the DL, clubbers!
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole series. It’s always sad to read the conclusion but this was wonderfully done. I was truly invested in these characters. I love how strong the characters turned out to be. There is still some twists and turns in this book but it’s done perfectly. I enjoy every series from Siobhan and this one is no different!
Siobhan Davis I bow to you lady!!! Not only did this book captivate me to the very end but the whole series was brilliantly written. This intense read will leave you cheering the underdog and salivating for every revenge move that is intricately though-out.
It was so wonderful to be back in Kai’s and Abby’s world. They are a force to be reckoned with but my heart is with Abby. In this conclusion she is my bad-ass heroine that makes me fall madly in love with her because of her strength and resilience. You wait with bated breath for every single retribution to be exactly what her enemies deserve but one wrong move will leave Kai and herself with everything to lose.
I will scream this from the TOP OF MY LUNGS!!!! READ THIS SERIES, YOU WONT BE SORRY!!!!
Siobhan you deserve a trillion stars!!!
Sweet retribution – initial reaction? WOW!
This book was the perfect conclusion of Abby and Kai’s story. As usual Siobhan writing style didn’t disappoint with all the feels and the nice flow which really takes you in the heart of the story.
Also, you can forget everything you thought was going to happen because you would be wrong!
This story was clearly very well planned and I found myself going ‘no way!!’ a few times. I always enjoy when a story manages to take me by surprise and this one did it from the get-go.
As usual the characters, main and secondary are taking you keep in this story full of mystery, secrets, love, heartbreaks… You keep telling yourself ‘one more chapter’ but you keep on going.
I’m attached to all of them and even some I didn’t expect to feel for I actually do and I’m pleased that Siobhan decided to give him his own book because no matter his mistakes he deserves better (sorry no spoilers guys you will have to figure this one by yourself).
Whilst I will miss Abby and Kai dearly ( I hope I will get to see them in the other books) I think this story is concluded perfectly and couldn’t really ask for more.
All in all this series was great and well rounded and would please any fan of dark/bully romance.
5/5

“When I’m touching some part of him. Everything feels right with the world, and I know we can conquer mountains.” -Abby
What an epic conclusion to Kaiden and Abby’s story! This story was jam packed with action, suspense, secrets and steaminess.
Sweet Retribution picks up right where Twisted Betrayal left off and it literally has action exploding from the pages. It was non-stop suspense and I was not able to put this book down.
Readers will finally see the big picture and the corruptness of The Elite. The evil that resides within this secret world was nothing I could begin to imagine. Secrets will be revealed, and revenge will be sweet. No one is safe….
I loved the growth of the characters in this series. The development and growth of Abby and Kaiden from the first book until this last book was phenomenal. They are such a strong couple and they both love so deeply and so hard. Their protective instincts for each other and the ones they love known no bounds.
In this book, there were a lot of new characters introduced which brought lots of drama to the story. They created more demented twists and turns too.
I was very satisfied with the ending but I’m not ready to leave this world of Rydeville. I need more Abby and Kaiden and hope to see them in the upcoming books!
5 stars!
Loved it! There were some very intense scenes in the book but that’s no surprise coming from Siobhan. I was hooked from the very first page all the way to the last.
Abby is such a bada** but she really showed how strong she truly is in Sweet Retribution. When she’s knocked down by her fathers manipulation and schemes, she just shows how she’s a step ahead. Kai’s love for Abby is undeniable. He’s definitely an alpha and very possessive. Together they make a team that can’t be beat.
I’m so looking forward to any and all books for any of the side characters!
Well, I am happy to have a conclusion to the whirlwind that was the Rydeville High Elite.
But I feel a little let down, overall. And I think I’ve narrowed it down to why.
-Kaiden and Abby.
In hindsight, I never got behind Kaiden and Abby’s love story; I never felt it. And thus, I have a hard time believing in their love or caring about them at all, honestly. I’m more invested in the side characters, honestly.
There were certain moments and scenes that made me roll my eyes pretty hard (talking about you, near the end!), and others that I felt were OTT and not necessary to the story.
All is not lost, however, dear readers. Because Sweet Retribution still was an addicting and enthralling read. More OTT situations and circumstances, with twists and turns and secrets everywhere. I’m still 100% onboard with the next in the series as I can’t wait to see if Drew gets his own story.
Overall, I liked this series. But much of the angst and issues felt forced and unnatural. There truly were moments were we jumped the shark, so to speak, and that makes it feel like a caricature of itself.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
The name Sweet Retribution says it all. Siobhan Davis has outdone herself. She takes us on Abby and Kais journey to take out the elite members of a society. Finally after years of being degraded and humiliated Abby seeks and gains the revenge she so desperately needs to take her father out. This trilogy is very well written with sex romance and so many twists and turns you don’t want to stop reading.
OMG, what a ending to a fantastic series. I DREADED the end of Kai and Abby’s story. I feel complete with how it all ended and it was one hell of a roller coaster rides with what every character goes through. My heart hurts for everything Abby has been put through. This story was so well written. Their is no words for how crazy Abby’s father is and the elite. You will not be disappointed in Abby and Kai’s conclusion. I literally don’t want to give anything away from this story. It is definitely a 1 click buy and Siobahn never lets her fan base down. She is brilliant and Sweet Retribution was phenomenal. Bring on Jackson and Sawyer. I am hoping Drew and Xavier and Charlie all get their own story! I got a ARC for my honest review.
The first thing I want to say is just how incredibly PROUD I am of Siobhan Davis. She’s at the absolute top of her writing game with Sweet Retribution. Every aspect of Siobhan’s craft is honed and polished in this book, showcasing her incredible storytelling and character creation. Even though I chewed my nails off completely and experienced most every emotion known to man, I was left feeling so unbelievably content and satisfied with how this trilogy concluded.
Our two leads, Kai and Abby are right up there with Devin and Ange (from Inseparable) as my favourite Siobhan couple of.All.Time. You can feel their love bursting off the pages and the depths they go to for each other is incredible. #swoon. It was never smooth sailing for these two but the best love stories never are.
Without giving away any spoilers, expect the unexpected and hang on for one hell of a finale! The retribution was indeed sweet however the journey getting there was anything but. You’ll be utterly consumed by this book so make sure you clear your schedule in advance .
Sweet Retribution was the final instalment of the Rydeville High Elite trilogy focusing on Abby and Kai however this world will continue and these characters with further develop in Jackson and Sawyer’s books, releasing in 2020! I am so here for it!!
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book and rate it 5/5 stars! Congratulations Siobhan Davis .
Her future life and freedom to choose stolen as once again the puppeteer pulls on her strings.
The line is drawn, her job is to walk along it and behave accordingly.
He needs her, wants her and belongs to her, but wait he must.
Until the time is right, he must protect her from afar and trust in all that they are..
Ohhhh wowsers what an explosive edge of your seat conclusion!!
The good, the bad and the downright evil all collide in this final book of Kai and Abby.
This is a direct continuation of the story, so you do need to read “Cruel Intentions” and “Twisted Betrayel” first to understand all that was, and all that is.
So many untruths and cover ups, so little honesty and trustworthy characters.
What a world!! fantastic to read but oh my I wouldn’t want to be a part of it!!
The firecracker that is she, still burns so bright through the darkness that surrounds her.
She fights like no other, she loves with all her heart and she bounces back like a real trooper!
The caveman is strong, resilient and resourceful. No is not a word he understands, and sharing isnt in his repertoire any longer!
Two characters that will make you scream, sigh, swoon and cringe but all for the greater good.
I’m sat here with goosepimples and shivers going down my spine, that’s how affected I am by their story!
I’m sad that it’s the end of them, but I cant wait for the other characters to take a stand!
To summarise this is a series like no other. You will be shocked and repulsed by some of it. The twists and turns will keep you guessing, but my god the chemistry between them will have you as obsessed as I am!!
Oh this book and the ending was everything to me and so much more than I expected it to be. I absolutely loved Abby and Kaiden and how they wouldnt let anything, especially her after all shes been through from the very first book to the end of this one, put her down. It was an intense read that will keep you on edge the entire time and not let go with your emotions at an all time high. All the twists and turns in this book, you just really cant put down.
What a stunning finale to the Rydeville High Elite series this is. A complex tale of lies, betrayal and heinous crimes is brought to its conclusion in the most twisted, breathtaking way.
Tying all the threads of the storyline together is a mammoth task, but one that Siobhan Davis does with aplomb and a sense of the dramatic. Scene after scene of confrontations, scheming and double-crossing pack this book and at times you can hardly remember who is blackmailing whom.
The author does a great job of getting you to the Happy Ever After, concluding all of the storylines whilst leaving the door open for the supporting characters to have their story told, which I am immensely excited for. The whole series is an engaging and captivating read; one to be highly recommended.
There was no way that the conclusion to this trilogy was going to be any less dramatic, twisty and exciting than the first two.
As the title suggests, this story is all about retribution. Abby, Kai, the whole cast we’ve come to know and love (and hate) is present and accounted for as we move toward this explosive conclusion. There’s so much here, it’s nearly impossible to say much without spoiling!
There’s the same tense, careful navigation of the elite world we’ve come to expect. The love story is better than ever. The bad are doing their bad thing and the good may finally get their turn. Surprises, victories and pain – all here!
If you are a fan of dark romance, this is a great trilogy to dive into!
Sweet Retribution was the epic conclusion to Abby and Kai’s story.
I had a love/hate relationship with this series but the writing was exquisite.
The Elite were despicable in every way.
I’m not saying anything else..read the series…today!
Not a stand-alone..you must read the first two books prior.
Siobhan Davis can seriously weave a story. She is definitely a one click author for me.

Okay readers I am going to say this once and for all this is FREAKING AWESOME. When I started this series I thought how can this even be a dark romance and then it all came together in part 2 and 3. Siobhan Davis just blew me away with this series with Abby and Kaiden. It is definitely not something any reader can read for you have to a strong heart and stomach to see what Abby goes through. In the first one we see them meet filled with hate, lies and tons of rough sex. Part 2 we see lies and betrayal starting to show making us wonder what else does Abby not know. Then we have the finale which was just wow what Michael, her own father has done to make sure his reign of terror so to speak continues. Through everything though no matter the secrets, lies and heartache Kaiden’s love is what makes her a survivor through all this well carnage. I so did not want it to end but in a way it was bittersweet the way Siobhan Davis did this book coming full circle in a way that will just make you wish it was a movie seeing all this. FREAKING AWESOME.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
Sweet Retribution is definitely an apt name for the third and final book in the Rydevile High story. Abby rises above all the trauma and emotional blackmailing that the elite has thrown at her over the years. She has become a strong warrior that seeks to destroy the ultimate evil organization all while trying to protect her family and friends from the fallout. As each new battle for control, betrayals coming from all sides and long held secrets are revealed, Abby and Kai have to decide who to trust. I highly recommend the Rydeville High series. As a member of the ARC Team, I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Dear Lawd, this is one mind f*&K of a book! Sweet Retribution by Siobhan Davis is the third book in the Rydeville High Elite series. With so many twists and turns your stomach will be in knots worrying about what is going to happen next. I loved all the characters in this series and look forward to it continuing when each of the boys get their own story. As usual Davis writes a gripping and twisted story that is just incredible and enthralling. 5 stars for Sweet Retribution by Siobhan Davis.
