Ritual (PSU #5)
Kandi Steiner
July 30, 2020

A new year at Palm South University means new classes, new chances at love, and of course, new fresh-off-the-grill drama.

Cassie faces a ghost from her past in her new Genetics class while Adam fights for his brothers’ respect as second-term president. Jess has some fun with her latest distraction, Erin discovers an unexpected friend at therapy, Ashlei deals with a threatening new intern and Skyler balances her new job with her new long-distance relationship.

Bear finds himself lost after the bomb drop last semester, and when an unexpected blast from the past shows up at the end of the semester, he won’t be the only one.

How does one even begin to review a book like Ritual, or even all of the PSU books? It’s definitely how Kandi describes it, like your favorite drama tv show, in her case it was Greek. It’s a struggle, for sure, but I’m going to do my best.

Ritual starts off almost right after Legacy ended, a new school year for the PSU crew, which really means more drama. I mean, how could it not be dramatic? We have six different POV’s and that in itself is a rollercoaster, don’t get me wrong, I live for these books. I would read about the struggles that they go through for the rest of my life if Kandi would keep writing them, as is, I’m already dreading the day I finish season 7, I’ve been attached to these characters since the end of season 1. It’s hard to review a book with 6 POV’s because each character has their own struggles and unfortunately this is definitely a series that needs to be read in order.

Cassie is the youngest, she’s super smart but when I say I wanted to slap her around a bit this season, you should believe me. Erin, while I hated her a lot last season, I also know why she is the way she is now and if you read Black Number Four, you probably hated her then too. Skyler is my favorite this season, I think, she’s so different from who she was at the beginning of these books, I love who she is from the start. Jess, she’s a badass now and I low key want to be her. Bear, he kills me this season and I know why, but it’s so hard to read about, I just wanted to cry every time I read about him. Adam, y’all should know I love him, I know most of you want to kill him but he’s my favorite and, he was right. That’s all I’m going to say. Ashlei is also very different this season, I mean, with age comes growth? That’s definitely valid for every one in this season and I hope they continue to grow as better people, I can not wait to see what happens next season.

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.

Hey all, welcome to my blog! I'm Meagan and I live in Central NY, I've been reading since I was 14 years old and it all started with James Patterson's 'Sam's Letters to Jennifer'. I took the book with me every where I thought I might have a second to read. It's been my go to book as well and I can't imagine what I would do if I never read that. When I'm not reading, which is almost never, you can find me watching my favorite shows which include Bones, Vampire Diaries, Grey's Anatomy, Castle, The Originals, Once Upon A Time, NCIS, The O.C. and Hawaii Five-O! When ever I start a book, I'm almost always instantly hooked, I will stay up all night reading if I can't put it down just so I know the happy ending. My favorite authors include Julie Prestsater, R.S. Grey, Leigh Talbert Moore, Jenn Sterling, P.C. and Kristen Cast, Richelle Mead, Lauren Kate, Gillian Flynn, Kandi Steiner, Brittainy C. Cherry, Staci Hart, Molly McAdams and James Patterson. I always love learning about new authors and talking books, if you'd like to get in touch, feel free to send me a DM on either instagram or facebook.
