Publisher's Summary

An Amazon top 25 best seller.

In the power struggle between two elite groups, one feisty girl will bring them to their knees...

Life is a cruel game, where only the most ruthless survive. It’s a truth my mother rebelled against, and she paid for it with her life. Now, I play their game. Publicly accepting the destiny that lies in wait for me when I turn 18. But behind closed doors, I plot my escape. 

Trent, Charlie, and my twin Drew rule the hallways of Rydeville High with arrogance and an iron fist. I execute my role perfectly, hating every second, but they never let me forget my place in this world.

Everyone obeys the rules. They have, for generations. Because, our families have always been in control. Until Cam, Sawyer, and Jackson show up. Throwing their new money around. Challenging the status quo. Setting hearts racing with their gorgeous faces, hot bodies, and bad boy attitudes.

Battle lines are drawn. Sides are taken. And I’m trapped in the middle, because I made a mistake one fateful night when I gave my V-card to a stranger in a blatant F you to my fiancé.

I thought it was the one thing I owned. A precious memory to carry me through each dark day.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Because, the stranger was Camden Marshall, leader of the new elite and my perpetual tormentor. He hates me with a passion unrivaled, and he won’t be the only one. Fire will rain down if the truth is revealed, threatening alliances, and the power struggle will turn vicious.

My life will hang in the balance. But I’ll be ready, and I’m not going down without a fight.

Note: Due to mature content and themes, this audiobook is recommended for listeners aged 18 and over. This is a full-length novel, and it's book one in a planned trilogy. It cannot be listened to as a stand-alone and ends with a cliff-hanger.

Amazing Book Series

This was an amazing book series. Be prepared to lose sleep, you will not want to put it down until you get through all 3 books. The beginning is a little slow, but it is a necessary part of the book to understand everything that happens as the book progresses. The author gave you amazing detail and understanding of each of the characters and twists and turns. This book give you suspense, steamy scenes, amazing friendships and bonds. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. It is definately worth the 3 credits for all 3 books.

Creepy.

She is such a joke. She gets aroused every time she is bullied and it’s really degrading. The male narrator Tor Thom is pretty annoying. He makes all the males sound feminine. I just don’t get it. It’s awful.

4.75 STARS

New money vs old money, forced engagements bullying and lots of secrets! There is a little bit of everything in this story. Abby is forced to play a role all the while planning her escape. You will definitely root for her and cheer for her when she turns into a boss b*tch. Cam is a jerk. Like HUGE! You'll love to hate him. There is more to the story than the old elite vs the new elite. Get ready for the lies, secrets and betrayals to come to light. Ends in a cliffhanger but luckily the trilogy is complete. Fair warning that there is triggers in this book. Narration was 4 stars. It was a duet narration and it was flawlessly executed. The only negative is that at times I didn't know which male character was speaking. Also while I really enjoyed the narration the voices sounded too old for high school characters.

Book 1 awesome book 2 im irritated

Book 2 ch 12 im rooting her dad picks her up and shoots her. Could she be any more irritating! Juvenile. Literally "Plotting and sulking and thinking of ways to hurt him." Her own words. The only guy to be real with her, ugh.

Library Must Have!!

If you don't already have this in your library, your depriving your soul lol Amazing!!!

twisted sister

thrilling and outrageous. on to the next one...listened to the entire book all day long.

LOVE THIS SERIES

HOLY SMOKES!!!!! This is my first read/listen by Siobhan Davis and I have been blown away by it!! If you are looking for a good bully romance, this is it!!! Its got all the drama, deceit and angst in spades!! And the ending...UGH...I really wanted to throw my phone at the wall 😳, it’s that freaking good. It left me wanting all the answers and wanting to slap a few people (I’m an emotional reader 🤷🏼‍♀️). I’m dying for the next book! I’d love to tell you more about the book, but I don’t want to give anything away. So, just make sure you have plenty of uninterrupted time to listen because you won’t be able to stop until it’s over. Carly and Tor did an amazing job with narration!! I could feel all the emotions!!

So obsessed!

I read this series about a month ago and was so sad there wasn't an audible version. It is one of my most favorite bully romances so I HAD to support the author and buy the audible version and listen this go around.

I Loved this book.

This book is full of betrayal, heartache, lies, dark moments and yet a thrilling story of a young woman trying to overcome her fate that her father thinks she deserves.

Great audible book

This story keeps you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed all of the characters and the narrators were easy to listen to.

I am totally blown away🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Omg this book....wow where to begin. The fire, the passion, the hate, the pull, the lies, the deceet, the tension, and chemistry of these two is pure🔥🔥🔥. This book is jam packed with so much going on that I just couldn’t put it down! So many twists and turns and that ending has me hitting the download button for book 2 faster than it ever has before💕❤️The only downside is the male narrator just isn’t right for Camdon, I felt it should have been a younger male given that he is only in his teens. The female narrator though was just perfect👌

Wonderful story!

If I loved the book when it came out, I love the audiobook even more!! Amazing story, hot, angst and that ending leave you wanting more and more. Love every book Siobhan has written, can’t recommend them enough!! Can’t wait to listen to the next audiobook! ❤️❤️

One word ‘wow’

Wow the audio was even better than when I read it the first time and it is one of my new favourite series. Addictive from start to finish.. an amazing cliff hanger which I am so excited to see where next book begins. I loved Cam and Abby.. OMG the feels for them. Even when he was mean I loved him, couldn’t help it! Jackson so funny and would love to know his story. It a must read it you love angst, angry men, strong heroine, mix emotions and confusion your in for a ride with this book!!!!

Amazing 😍😍

I loved cruel intentions as a book, but it’s even better in audio 😍 I’ll be honest , some audiobooks can ruin even my favourite reads, but this did not.. This is my favourite audiobook to date .. Carly and tor did this book proud .. I can’t wait to dive into the second book now.. It’s been amazing diving back into this world again . The story flowed so effortlessly, I didn’t even realise how quick almost 12 hrs can go . 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

An intense audio experience.

I have read a few books by Siobhan Davis and each has done their romance niche justice. I couldn’t wait to listen Cruel Intentions. This is the first book in the Rydeville High Elite series, and the series is off to a great start. This is a dark story so I would be remis if I didn't say that my review comes with a trigger warning for abuse and very dark behaviour. This was darker than my usual read, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment. This book has some complex and unpleasant characters. It has a feisty female lead in Abby and a great story-line. The plot was really gritty and intense, I was completely immersed in the story and felt quite the myriad of emotions. To me this is the sign of a really good book. If it doesn’t evoke a reaction then it hasn’t drawn you into it’s world. Ms Davis’ always manage to grab me early on and then spit me out emotionally wrung out at the end of then story. Seriously she is one of the authors that takes me into the book, out of reality and bam! Burned dinner and angry family members. A good book means a take-away or two in this house and Ms Davis is costing me a small fortune. Now for my gripe! Yes folks, I can strongly recommend Cruel Intentions but there is one of those pesky cliff-hangers. However, still worth it! While I read this book in arc form when it was released I have recently purchased the audiobooks in the series and asap stuck my headphones in and listened and listening was a different experience. The audio version made a huge impact, the shocks were more shocking and the intensity was amped up. (I love reading and this book did pack a punch initially) It took me a while to get used to the audiobook style. While I often listen to books with two narrators they tend to go a chapter at a time but in this audio version the male vocals were voiced by the male narrator and the female voices by the female narrator. Once I got used to it I was all in with the story and the characters. I am blown away by the vocal talents of Carly Robins and Tor Thom. They didn't read the story, they acted it and delivered a brilliant performance that really was an intense ride. Now onto book two

Cruel Intentions

I absolutely loved this story so much so I want all the rest in this series please tell me what’s the next book called thanks . My email is m. [e-mail] please let me know I’m really into Audible books now that’s all I do every day thank you xxx

Loved the book... the audible added to my love

Originally read the Rydeville Elite books on my kindle and loved them so much that I had to listen to the audible version and it did not disappoint! This is the first audible I have listened to and I found it gave the characters more depth in my head as it gave them a voice! This is the first book of 3 in the Rydeville Elite series and it is seriously hot with many twists and unexpected turns and ends on a major cliff hanger! The characters are amazing and the storyline is gripping!! Can’t wait to listen to book 2

Best guilty pleasure, ever!

One of my favorite stories is Dangerous Liaisons, and Cruel Intentions reminds me of it. You have characters that practically melt the pages, but their ability to maim with their words and deeds is palpable. I love the way Siobhan Davis culminates these characters with twists and turns throughout the plot. If I had to describe it in one phrase, its chemistry with a side of cruelty. This book is delicious on Audible as narration really gives this story added pop.
