A collection of all FOUR of the Best Selling Rejects Paradise books, plus BONUS NOVELLA - Black Widow! Tough Sh*t - Rejects Paradise #1 Cocky F*ck - Rejects Paradise #2 Barbie B*tch - Rejects Paradise #3 Ride or Die - Rejects Paradise #4 Black Widow - A Rejects Paradise Novella ---------- Moving in with a billionaire playboy is supposed to be some sort of Cinderella story, right? I’m supposed to be having the time of my life while living the dream. Wrong. When the bank took our home, it didn’t come as a surprise. The bomb was when mom told me we were moving out of Breakers Flats, away from my crew, and to a place that only existed in fairy tales—Bellevue Springs. Home of the insanely beautiful, rich, and famous. Only, Bellevue Springs is far from a fairy tale. It’s a nightmare full of secrets, horrors, and the ugly reality of the one-percenters, but without this move, mom and I are up sh*t creek without a paddle. We don’t belong here—not even as the help. I should have been prepared. I should have done my homework so at least that way I wasn’t blindsided by Charles Carrington’s son; my new housemate. Colton F*cking Carrington. He’s the definition of an arrogant, entitled prick and he’s determined to make my life a living hell. Guess what, Colton? Where I’m from, you don’t start a war unless you intend to finish it, and that’s exactly what I plan to do. You can’t take down a girl who has nothing left to lose. We may be on your territory, but this is my game. WARNING: Rejects Paradise is a Young Adult / New Adult Dark High School Bully Romance series. It features dark themes and mature content.

***As a whole, I rate this series 5 stars. It was masterfully executed. Individual reviews are below...
*
Tough Sh
A poor, relatable female lead with major attitude, dropped into an all-boys school … oh and her besties are high-ranking gang members. In typical Anne fashion, this gets juicy FAST and I was hooked by the third (or so) chapter.
Only Sheridan Anne can have me so engrossed in ridiculous high school drama. To be fair, these kids are dealing with very adult problems and it’s non-stop chaos.
Academy (high school) setting.
Rich kids.
Serious hazing.
Attempted SA and actual SA.
Mysteries.
Suspense.
Overall:
Loved it. 4 stars.
C0cky F
Thankfully, this picks up exactly where Book 1 leaves off.
There is no delay to the most epic, delicious and wild drama—completely on par with book one, if not slightly faster and … in some ways, even bigger.
Toxic teen love.
Bad boys.
Rich kids.
Billionaires.
Action.
Set in private, all-girls’ school.
Extortion.
Danger.
Fraud.
Mention of SA.
Other man drama.
G4ng war.
T0rture.
V|0lence.
C4pt|vity.
Extra love for Cairo’s antics which were hilarious.
The plot really thickened with this installment, thanks to some very interesting revelations.
Overall:
Things really heated up in this installment, on multiple fronts, and quickly. Even more addictive than book 1, somehow.
4.5 stars.
And
Possibly slight sp0|ler so read beyond the dots with caution but

THE WAY YOU COULD SEE/HEAR the INSTANT Ocean sorta turned dark WAS SO MASTERFUL. This is why I love Sheridan Anne.
Barbie B
Vengeance.
If you enjoy vengeance and darkness and a character evolving right before your very eyes (or ears) … you’ll enjoy this.
While I dislike the concept of revenge in real life, as it doesn’t really solve anything, generally, WOW is it delicious in fiction sometimes and this was kind of beautiful in a dark and twisted way.
Thankfully this installment does pick up right where book 2 ended.
Interestingly, we got some of Colton’s POV in this installment, so it actually gets even more delicious.
Other tropes, tr|gg3rs, attributes, etc. (aside from the vengeance) you’ll find here:
Non-c0nsensual surveillance.
‘Smex tape’ (ish) of a minor.
G3ng war.
Ass4ult.
Teen smex.
High school setting / rich kids.
Circle of friends.
Rival teenagers and some bullying.
Secrets and revelations.
Captivity.
Mentions of SA.
Extortion.
Massive amounts of family drama.
Hate crimes.
Unexpected pregnancy.
Overall:
Could not put it down. A couple of times continuity could’ve been better but these were super minor things. AND THE MOST EPIC SECRETS / BETRAYAL everrrr. Oh and a piece of that ending wasn’t expected, which literally never happens for me.
4 stars.
Ride or Die
Opens in Nic’s POV which, I believe is a first for this series and so incredibly dark, dangerous and dramatic. If I hadn’t read books 1-3, I’d still be all in just from that first chapter. That said, I do recommend reading this series in order. It’s epic and very worth it.
One thing that I can’t help but appreciate about this series is, with all the very adult, literal life-altering chaos constantly flying around, Anne still manages to build in lots of ‘kids being kids’ and just having dumb, teenager fun throughout. Truly masterfully done.
