4.25 Stars 🌟
The Palm South University books are a super addictive new adult series full of angst, drama, sex, lies, fun and sun. These books are written in episode format with alternating chapters from the POV of 7 different characters and their intertwining stories. These books should be read in order as the stories carry on throughout the entire series.
Ritual is the 5th instalment and we jump right back in with our core 7 Cassie, Adam, Skyler, Jess, Bear, Ashlei & Erin as well as some of the other characters we've met in previous books and some new additions.
Cassie & Adam // are the golden couple we have been rooting for since day one and now they are finally in a real relationship and all you want is for them to be their cute and happy selves and run off into the sunset together but this wouldn't really be a Kandi book if we didn't have people trying to come in between these two. They had some incrediblly sweet moments and a few super steamy ones but also very many frustrating ones. Their lack of communication/miscommunication was beyond annoying. I got where both sides were coming from and could empathize with their situation but I didn't like how it took other people to talk sense into them before they had an open and honest conversation but I did really enjoy how their story ended up and fingers crossed they can just be allowed to breathe next book.
Skyler // I liked seeing what she was up to and how she was dealing with her relationship now that Kip is in California and they were doing the long distance thing and I loved seeing her involvement in the future of the sorority also. As much as I love Skyler I'm glad her story wasn't a major part of this book since the last book was heavily based on her and Kip.
Jess and Kade // Holy Moly I'm am officially jumping on the Team Kade, Jarrett who? train coz woaaah these two were HOT. This new part of Jess' story fits her perfectly and I absolutely adore seeing her take the reigns and going after what she wants without feeling pressured to. Jess and Kade together are fun, sexy and sweet. Something about them feels so genuine and I will say really early on I did predict how their story would end off/that big bomb drop and now I wanna scream because I'm nervous for whats to come next but I'm staying #TeamKade
Ashlei // I do like her but I will say her storlyine for some reason is the one I've connected with the least throughout the series. There is nothing wrong with her but I'm just not as invested with her and haven't been since pretty much the beginning. With a series full of so many main characters and storylines this is bound to happen but I'm still curious to see where her story goes next.
I saved my FAVE BABIES for last
Bear // AGGHH stop breaking my heart please. I know he had A LOT to process this book after how things ended last book but gosh I wanted to smack him so hard while hugging him and never letting go. Watching him in this numb like state then seeing him breakdown was painful but I love him and need to know whats going to happen with him next.
Erin // My number one Baby. By far my favourite character in this entire series. She really crept up on because if you had asked me in book 1 who my fav was I doubt I ever would have said Erin. She is definitely is a character you will either love or hate. Throughout the series her perfect image slowly unravels with every heart breaking situation she goes through and in the last book she definitely hit a breaking point with lashing out at the people who love her the most and the more broken she became the more I fell in love with her. I'm so happy we finally get to see her making steps towards healing. It's not going to be an easy process but I'm waiting for the day she finally lets her Sorority sisters in on all that she has been through and watch them all heal together.
This season there was also a new addition Gavin and he intrigued me the minute he stepped on to the scene and the more we get to know him the more conflicted I become. I def love him whole heartedly but I had been team Erin & Bear for so long and now I'm moving towards team Erin & Gavin but honestly no matter what happens I will always be team Erin.
I love this series so much. Its super easy to read and I loved being back in the PSU world and can't wait to see what happens next in book 6

Meet Kandi
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women's Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her "freedom of press." She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn't writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine -- not necessarily in that order.
