Beautifully done
Not gonna lie this story had me sobbing and I wasn't sure I could see it through. But I'm so glad I did. The ending was handled beautifully and tied up the loose ends really well. I would absolutely read this series again.

What an ending! I am seriously left with my jaw dropped after reading these books and this ending was the perfect ending to the story. It had so many twists and turns and surprises. I was on the edge of my seat the entire read. I also loved the emotion and angst that kept me coming back for more. I have become a huge fan of Siobhan Davis and I am looking forward to reading more.

All of the secrets and behind the scenes moves finally came to a head. This story took me a little bit to get back into even though it picked up where the other one had left off. I think this was because I wanted to get to the point and and get the conclusion that these characters needed AND deserved. This had been a very tumultuous and painful journey.
I'm glad to say that it was all worth it. I was worried for awhile. This had a lot of twists that I hadn't seen coming. There is some sick crap that the Elite were into. Thank goodness that is over. Looking forward to the next story.

⭐️ 5 "Ultimate Confrontation" Stars ⭐️
Since book one of the Rydeville High Elite Series, I’ve been obsessed with this world of depraved secrets and manipulation! I just couldn’t wait to finally get my hands on Sweet Retribution and see how Abby and Kai’s story would conclude. Once again, Siobhan Davis takes her readers on an electrifying ride full of duplicity, wicked surprises and sexy times! This is an extreme game of chess between Abby and her sordid father to determine the ultimate winner in this corrupt environment!
Abby and the gang stay strong in spite of all the ambushes to find a way to destroy her filthy father. They use the genius tech abilities of Xavier to discover long hidden secrets and put everything in place to discredit the awful man! I love how they’re all united in finding ways to play everyone against them to win this battle. Throughout my read, I was stunned by some of the totally unexpected secrets exposed! Let’s just say that Michael Hearst and his elite friends are sick men with all the awful acts that are depicted in this story!
Abby and Kai’s relationship is so perfect! Their love is so intoxicating and while I enjoyed their frantic passion in the previous books, it’s refreshing to see them in a gentler way. They share some really beautiful and emotional moments and their love is just shining so bright through the pages. It doesn’t mean that they don’t get some combusting moments where Kai uses his dirty talking!
Sweet Retribution is the culmination of a long awaited confrontation between daughter and father! The suspense and surprizing admissions had me completely ensnared by this story! It concluded in the most epic way and now I need more of this astonishing world. I’m really happy to know that some of the supporting characters will get their own stories! For all dark romance lovers that enjoyed twisted and thrilling books, Rydeville High Elite is a must read series for you!

This series broke my heart a hundred times and made me feel anger & hatred towards character like I never had before! Yet that was a satisfying conclusion to Kai & Abby’s story!!! I simply cannot describe all of the emotions I felt while reading!
I can’t wait for all the boys to get theirs!!

Siobhan has a talent for creating worlds where you feel like you are part of it. Truly talented writer to make you feel all the highs and lows and bring tears to your eyes. I am looking forward to the rest of the series, especially finding out about Drew and hoping he gets the happy ever after he deserves.

Amazing conclusion
There truly aren’t words to describe the journey the Rydeville Elite takes us on. This book concludes Abby and Kai’s story while leaving plenty of room to follow other characters in later books.
The intrigue in this story is next level. I’m pretty sure some characters changed alliances more often than they changed their socks. It’s a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat story - I’ve reread the first three books in just over 48hrs. There’s so much more to explore in Siobhan’s universe, with the Rydeville story just scratching the surface.
