Abby & Cam

Siobhan certainly took us on a journey with the first three books of Rydeville Elite.

Abby, daughter to one of the Original Elites, isn't treated like the princess in this fairytale. Not a bit. What he father puts her through makes you want to take him out yourself. Her mother is gone and all she has is her twin brother who can't even stand up for her the way he needs to. But don't get it twisted, Abby is a fighter. This girls goes toe to toe up against the originals and forms the New Elites.

Cam, one day he's just minding his business and boom a beautiful broken girl stumbles upon his path. Years later those paths cross again, only the girl that was once broken is ready to fight back. Cam is definitely one of those Hs that you hate one minute and love the next. You're not sure if you want to root for him or beat him with a bat.

This is not a light read whatsoever, there are things that occur that will make your jaw hit the floor, but our girl does get her HEA.

Performed in Dual POV, Carly Robbins and Tor Thom were great on the audio.

Ever listened to a book that you have to make yourself turn it off because you have been listening all day for 4 days straight and you are running out of things to make you look busy cleaning? That is this book for me. Wow its intense and the characters were so well created this has just taken over my mind the whole time I was listening.

The endings of books 1 and 2 had me chewing my nails and desperate for the next book to answer some questions. This is an amazing series and Im so excited for more from this author and the narrators. They gave this book so much life as well. Well wort a credit.

Hooked from Beginning to End!!!

Book One- Cruel Intentions
Cruel Intentions in book one in the Rydeville High Elite series. It is a high school bully romance chock full of action, drama, and manipulation. It has an intense story line that keeps you constantly trying to figure out what is going to happen and who has good intentions and who does not.

There are definitely some jaw-dropping moments in this book. I really liked Abby's strength and determination. I love her relationship with Xavier and I love how easy it is for Cam to get bent out of shape when people press Cam's buttons over Abby. 

Book Two- Twisted Betrayal 
Book two picks up at the jaw dropping moment of where book one ended with Abby in great danger and everyone wondering what in the world is happening. This book starts off with some even more dark and twisted moments that will seriously have you wanting to wish you could reach through your Kindle (or headphones) and hurt someone, while at others my heart truly broke for some of the characters.

The drama and manipulation and betrayal continues to be thick and wild and crazy and it still is unclear who can be trusted. I have both read this and listened to this and each time I continue to be wholly invested in the story line. The narration on my second time around adds a whole new dimension to the story! 

Book Three- Sweet Retribution
What a wild and crazy ride to conclude this twisted series. Sweet Retribution started with Abby and Charlie getting married where book two in the series left off, which also brought about an insane amount of plotting to right all of the wrongs which brought this group of people to this point in time. Kai, Drew, Abby and the crew worked diligently to uncover the secrets of the past with their parents and everything at Parkhurt to help ultimately take down Abby's father and ensure that Abby could have her HEA with who she belonged with.

There were so many crazy moments and surprises. The elite men in this story lacked all morals to say the least. I really enjoyed Kai and Abby and Xavier and Jackson and I loved that Drew was able to redeem himself. 

I am always astounded when authors can write these complex stories with so much detail and deception and betrayal. Very well done!!! Carly Robbins and Tor Thom did a wonderful job with the narration of this epic story. I do wish there had been some more variation between the male voices at times because of all the male characters (and there was in book 3) but otherwise the narration was fantastic and I would highly recommend both narrators. #TheFlock #PinkFlamingoProductions

Twists, turns, and triggers! This set stands alone

The first three books in this series need to be read together (and are combined in this box set), and the later books stand alone. I actually listened to books 4 and 5 before these first three. I had put off listening to the first three because the high school setting isn't usually my thing, but this didn't feel like a high school book.

There was probably every trigger imaginable in the first three books of this series. What I enjoyed about it was that there was constantly more twists and turns throughout the series, and I never quite knew what to expect next. Books 1 and 2 end on a cliffhanger, which I why I was really happy to see them sold in this set. Even though I had already listened to books 4 and 5, I had no idea how crazy books 1 - 3 would get, and now I'd like to listen to 4 & 5 again. I think I would feel differently about those main characters after having met them in the original books and seeing entirely different sides to them

Tor Thom and Carly Robbins performed the audiobook in duet style. Their narration got even better over the course of the series as they added more distinct character voices to the narration.

Sexy Bad Boys

This story is so dark and twisted and I couldn't stop listening! It is raw, gritty emotional, angsty, sexy, steamy dark bully romance at it's best. It does my favorite trope- enemies to lovers to perfection.

This series is so intense and suspenseful and you don't know what is going to happen until the very end. I love the way the author makes this series so full of twists and turns.

I also really enjoyed how different each character was yet they were all such sexy bad boys.

The narration was really good and distinct for each character.

This will definitely be a reread for me.

All the intensity!

So many questions! So many things to unload.. How do you leave a bomb like that, drop the mic and walk away??

Siobhan is such a queen at cliffhangers and this one did not disappoint!

Camden Marshall is new in school and his idgaf attitude about who rules what is *chef's kiss* perfection.

Abigail is promised to Trent. Trent, Drew and Charlie rule the school, they are the old elite and they hold all the power... until Camden, Jackson, and Sawyer come barging through and destroy everything Abby thought she knew. Now her secret isn't as safe as she thought and her life is hanging in the balance. If the truth gets out she is as good as dead and her plans are now harder than ever to follow through with.

Abby and Camden are the traditional enemies to lovers, they have this major bully vibe/love-hate thing going on, but at the same time their story is completely different. It is unique and intense.

I loved watching the push and pull between Abby and Cam. I hated Trent from the start and still am not sure how I feel about Charlie and Drew.. the jury is still out.. HOWEVER, the bomb that Siobhan not so surreptitiously dropped detonated in a major way and now I really don't know how to feel or who to trust and my heart is torn. I want the HEA I hope is coming but now I'm just not sure.

Wow.. after the ending of book 1 I was shook. I didn't know what to think, but after the ending of this book I am just stunned. I have no words to describe my complete and utter shock.

Abby and Kaiden have an undeniable connection, I want them to find a way even when they aren't sure themselves. I can tell they are meant to be, but life is intervening in the cruelest of ways and the betrayal and hurt are intense. It's painful and real. I feel it in my soul and my heart hurts for Kaiden and Abby and even Drew. I know it has been hard on them but I know they are all strong, I just hate how deep it is. How much it hurts.

Abby is strong and her strength is tested time and time again but she gets back up every time and gets stronger with each hit. Just when things seem like they can't get worse, they do. Just when you think you know who is the bad guy and who is good, the rug is pulled out from under you. I'm in a total love hate relationship with this series. I love it and hate it all the same. It hurts so good! I can't believe the twists and turns this book is taken. This is a true work of art, the story and the characters are so well defined and feel so real, it's like I am experiencing the hardships with them not just reading about it and they don't feel fictional they feel real.

I thought I liked Charlie and I really thought he was one of the good guys, then this book came and destroyed everything. I want Kaiden and Abby to find there way and things were so hard I couldn't see an HEA for the longest time. The hardest part was dealing with Charlie's betrayal. Charlie is not what you think and that was a tough pill to swallow. Jackson has more issues than I ever thought and that hurts too, I want to see him find his happy. Sawyer is definitely not what I expected from the first few books and I am officially intrigued. I still don't trust Drew and hated the way things played out between the first few books with him yet I hated his pain and turmoil. I hope for his happiness too even after everything. I absolutely LOATHE Atticus, Abby's father, and Trent! Such trash, No other words to describe them, I miss Jane tremendously and want to see things come full circle with that.

Abby and Kaiden have had so much pain in their lives and they are so young. Abby's father is a monster. I can't believe all the things he has done. He is unredeemable in my eyes and I wanted so badly to see his demise. I craved it!!

I was so back and forth throughout book 3. It was so hard to tell if I could trust certain people and I wanted to see the good in them but I was worried they would get the best of me. The heist was so thrilling! The suspense killed me and I couldn't wait to see what happened. The climax was so worth the wait! The fact that they are all high school students amazes me. They are so young but yet they are trained for this and that saddens me but thrills me all the same. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" Phew you got that right!

I loved watching the fall and the demise. The ending of the book was everything. I loved it so much! I loved the finale more than anything it was perfect! The love shown and the justice served was perfect.

Carly Robbins and Tor Thom were amazing! They gave each character their own voice and their own personality and it was everything. They absolutely made this book so much better!
