Release Blitz and Book Review : Hazed by Kandi Steiner

 

3.75 Stars 🌟

Hazed is the 6th book in the Palm South University Series and can not be read as a standalone as each story carries on through to the next.

It's always so much fun being back in this world. Hazed picks up right where Ritual (book 5) left off. WWe're thrown back into another season at PSU where half the crew are navigating their lives post graduation while the rest are still current students at Palm South University. Some relationships are tested, some are strengthened and some are just a roller coaster of emotions.

The flow of the story as usual is addicting, engaging and highly entertaining. I always find these books so easy to read & even though I flew through this book I was also a little underwhelmed by it. This is the 2nd last book in the series and it definitely read like it. It felt like a setup for a big series final yet to come.

We get a deeper dive into the main characters Jess, Skyler, Bear, Cassie, Adam, Ashlei and my forever favourite Erin. I found some of the storylines for specific characters didn't grip me as much as they have in previous seasons & 1 in particular just frustrated me to no end, but that's just me being nervous about how it will play out. This truly is a book best served when you jump right in and enjoy the ride.

As for the characters I still have plenty of thoughts :

Skyler - after book 4 I lost a bit of interest in Skyler's part of the story. I still like her & Kip but I'm not drawn to them however I actually really enjoyed how their story played out in Hazed. It added some of that drama that initially drew me into the series & I'm excited to see where it goes next.

Cassie & Adam - are forever bae's & I'm hoping they continue being their cute selves & are allowed to just be after everything they have been through (and put each other through) they deserve happiness and here's to them getting it.

Jess - yeah we are not even going to discuss it because I'll either cry or scream. I'm honestly not ready to see how it goes.

Bear - I love how things are finally falling into place for him. Seeing him with his family is everything and more. If his story keeps going the way it is I'll be one happy reader.

Ashlei - in previous books she was never my favourite. With a cast so big some of the people are bound to fall through the cracks & I've just never truly connected to Lei but oh my watching her become the Boss Babe she is was such a joy. This was one of the first times her character really shone for me.

Erin - beautiful, broken yet resilient and strong. I love her so much, always have always will. I know she isn't always everyone's favourite but I'm super protective of her & just want her to be happy.

I'm beyond excited to see where the series goes next and how it all wraps up in Greek (book 7). As much as I love these characters and this world I definitely think it's a great time for this gang of 7 to get one last hurrah & hopefully find their forever hea's and if there is ever a spin off with a new set of characters I'd be ok with that too.

Spring is here and it's time to heat things up. Welcome to Palm South University.

Hazed: Palm South University #6 by Kandi Steiner is now live!

Half the crew is back at Palm South.
The other half has graduated.

Jess, Ashlei, and Erin move downtown together after graduation. While Ashlei recovers from heartbreak and makes a new plan of attack, Erin is trying to survive law school -- and her new relationship. And after the explosive season finale of Ritual, Jess has found herself in quite the pickle.

Meanwhile at PSU, Bear and Adam are in their final semesters, which means one last Spring Break to rule them all. That’s not the only thing on Bear’s mind, though -- not after he has a realization that changes everything. And while Adam and Cassie are finally back on track, their next chapter may not be as easy.

Skyler and Kip are back together after a semester apart, but while they expected a fairy tale ending, a newcomer might throw a wrench in their plans.

Meet Kandi


Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing "emotional rollercoaster" stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance -- in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you're a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she's your gal.

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.
