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.

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.)

A dark, angst-filled romance series at its finest, Sweet Retribution was a great conclusion to Abigail (Abby) & Kaiden's story. It was a twisty rollercoaster right up until the very end. I love this Rydeville world and the cast of characters. Even though I have my conclusion to this storyline, I am curious enough about the other characters to continue reading about this world and see where their storylines take me. Sweet Retribution is a book I will reread, making it a 5 / 5 Star read, in my opinion.

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!

Sweet Retribution is the final book in this story of Kai and Abby and my gawd, what an absolute ride it has been! Right from the start, from the twists and turns that I haven’t seen coming (and I meant that!), to the twisted lies and betrayals to the damning secrets, the author and the story had me in its clutches right until the very AMAZING end. I’ve rooted for these two and after all they went through, I’m so happy that they’ve received their HEA. Well deserved! I couldn’t say anything more. I am out of words to describe the awesomeness that is this series!
Needless to say, I loved this and I want more! I can’t wait to read my next book boyfriend, Jackson. Need it now!
