Purchase options and add-ons
Vanessa:
The devil doesn’t always wear an evil mask.
Sometimes, he appears in the most beautiful form.
Like the super-hot bad boy with the dirty-blond hair and a wicked glint in his blue eyes who swept in out of nowhere, stealing all the air from my lungs.
I thought he was my savior.
But he’s my ruination.
And he’s just taken a machete to my heart.
Jackson:
For years, my rage seethed under the surface. Hidden behind a cloudy haze of my poison of choice.
But now, the fog has cleared.
And I’m out for blood.
I will annihilate those responsible for taking my sister from me.
Except he’s not here, so I go for the next best target.
The woman he abandoned.
Until it suited him to drag her into this messed-up elite world.
Sucks to be her.
Because when I’m done with Vanessa, she’ll wish she was dead.
An interconnected standalone dark romance set in the Rydeville High Elite world. 126k word full-length novel. Due to mature content and themes, this book is recommended to readers aged eighteen and over. Some scenes may be triggering.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020Oh!! Heck Yes!! This book, my friends!! This AMAZINGLY PHENOMENAL Book was exactly what I thought it would be and then some. I knew Siobhan was gonna slay Jackson’s book. TBH I have been salivating for him since day.freakin.one when I met him back in Cruel Intentions. I am mentally spent after this book, though in the best way. This is the best kind of book hangover, y’all! I laughed, I cried, I swooned and I swore. It was a marathon of emotions. One that I would gladly run again and again. (I tend to do re-reads of the Rydeville Elite Series b/c It’s so dang addictive)
Jackson’s character is legit everything I knew he was gonna be multiplied by 1000! From the beginning he had a mission, a goal and nothing was gonna deter him from that. He was ruthless, a jerk, gorgeously hot, but he was also caring as well. He has a big heart, he just tries to hide that fact. We’ve all loved the playful playboy since day one, but here we get to see a different side with this more adult version of Jackson. I think we all knew it was gonna take one heck of a girl to bring that boy to his knees and Vanessa “Nessa” sure is the one to do it.
She was smokin hot, sweet, but she was so strong. The resilience in this character, y’all. It makes me tear up just thinking about it. In many ways she was broken, but not beyond repair. The strength she showed about how rise from the ashes was inspiring. My heart broke over and over again. I wanted for her to get everything good in this world and I wanted Jackson to give it to her. But I wasn’t sure if it was possible, they had so much working against them.
Now, with that said… Their journey was by no means an easy one. But it was a tragically beautiful one. Their connection was spectacular and off the charts of the “meant to be scale.” I felt like she brought out the best parts of Jackson, and he was able to give her all the things she was missing in her life. Not necessarily just monetary things but the things that truly matter. GAH! This story gutted me, before it put me back together. But I loved every single second.That’s not to say I didn’t have several moments of wanting to bash my kindle over the heads of several characters at many different times. But... I was obsessed with every word on every page, from start to finish! It.was.that.fantastic!!
Nessa and Jackson’s story is one for the books and MUST not be missed!
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book.
My Cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up :
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️-EVERYTHING!Jackson’s book was it. Everything I was yes and So.Much.More! Their spectacular journey has it all. Love, lies, suspense, thrills, so much heat, forgiveness, and all your favorites back together again! YES PLEASE! 🖤♥️🖤♥️
🔥🔥🔥🔥- I'm not sure there are adequate words to describe the level of hotness the book delivers. Vanessa and Jackson are next level. Siobhan writes these sexy scenes full of such delicious details you legit feel like you are there, almost as a voyeur. It’s beyond hot and makes for a super smokin read!
🌪Cliffhanger Warning🌪- I AM IN LOVE WITH THE ENDING!! 😍😍
🔫 Trigger Warning-This book is a Bully/Gang romance and does have some violent scenes, and scenes that discuss disturbing memories for one of our characters that could be considered triggers for some. If you have concerns you can PM for more information.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020Jackson wants revenge. He’s been waiting for the perfect time. The time is now.
When Jackson’s sister Dani died, it wrecked him. He spiraled into drugs, alcohol and women. It took a friend to give him a wake up call. He gave up the booze and the drugs and now he’s going after the men who ruined his sister.
Vanessa is part of Jackson’s plan. They knew one another from high school and summer’s in the Hampton’s. She was a wild, party girl who always wanted Jackson, but he turned her down. Now he’s determined to make her love him, so he can get close to her and find the man he’s been searching for.
She’s not the same girl that he remembers. She’s was forced to start a new life on her own. Vanessa has given up the party life. Now she works and she just wants her past to stay far away.
When Jackson shows an interest in her and starts his pursuit, she’s definitely leery of him. Jackson wasn’t ready for Vanessa. She was just supposed to be a means to an end. Neither expected their hearts to become involved.
These two both carry pain. Jackson had no idea how much Vanessa had suffered. She is a fighter and a survivor. However, the world of the elite is cruel. It’s a tangled web of deceit and twisted agendas. She’ll have to learn the truth or she’ll be dragged into that world. Jackson wanted to fight these evil men on his own, but he’ll need help. His friends would do anything for him, but he’ll have to tell them everything, including Vanessa, to get what he’s after.
Jackson knows how to make a girl fall for him and Vanessa was not immune. They definitely had chemistry. Their attraction built as they spent more time together. The tension was hotttt! Both of them were a little bit broken, but together they were able to heal their pain. It’s a dark road they’ll travel. Vanessa will be introduced to the world of the wealthy and morally bankrupt. The next generation of the elite are formidable. The tables are turning. Their’s new blood taking their rightful place in the elite and they want change. It won’t come easy. Blood will be shed, some of evil will be eliminated but there is more work to be done.
A dark, romantic suspense that will have you hot and bothered one minute and keep you on the edge of your seat the next. The series delivers an intriguing a storyline and characters that keep you coming back for more.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2024Pretty good story. A little wordy in some chapters and the constant repeat of danger/kidnapping is a little over -played.
The story begins with the FMC Vanessa who hails from a sick and twisted family. Her disgusting and morally corrupt stepfather throwing her out of his house to fend for herself. He’s crazy wealthy but gives her practically nothing and this happens with no warning. Her mother is a drunk who has never protected her own daughter against the monster she married. Her “parents” have twins a boy & girl and that’s who Vanessa loves and swears to protect. Especially her younger sister, her stepfather is a true threat.
Vanessa was severely abused in the worst way possible growing up but couldn’t say anything. So she turned to drugs, alcohol abuse and promiscuity to numb the pain of what she suffered at home.
Jackson is the MFC and he’s gorgeous. He and Vanessa used to run in the same social circles thanks to their families being friends. He never liked Vanessa. Thought of her as a loose drunk cannon that was annoying and someone his friends and him would make fun of and try to get away from. No one ever protected this poor girl.
She moves to NYC, works as a waitress and got herself cleaned up off drugs & alcohol. She’s just starting to heal and taking care of herself when one day low and behold Sawyer & Jackson walk into the diner requesting her to wait on them. Jackson wants more than friendship, Vanessa wears her pure heart on her sleeve….what does he have in store for this broken heroine and will be be able to keep his heart guarded and head on straight?

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved, loved, loved Jackson!!!
I have to be honest, i have loved the Rydeville series so far, the first three books were amazing and i loved Abby and Kai, i didn't think Siobhan could better them, i then read Charlie's story which was also very good.....however it was Jackson's story that i wanted to read the most and it was the one i was most nervous to read because i didn't want to be disappointed,........... i have to say Siobhan you have done him justice!!!
I loved it so much, to see Jackson's other sides, he was always the joker of the pack, so it was refreshing to see him in a different light, with him being more serious at times (even if i did want to slap him silly!) Of course he had a worthy heroine in Vanessa, another strong female lead character which i absolutely love. This story does have dark elements but it all adds to Jackson's story and still feeds in to the previous four books. I cant wait now for Sawyer's book, i really need to know that they all get their HEA, because the characters in these books are amazing!! Thank you so much Siobhan.
If you enjoy books that pull at your heart strings, stories that are a little more twisted and darker than normal and characters that stay with you long after you have finished reading then you really need to read Siobhan's books..........Amazing!! Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars das beste Buch
Diese Jackson gewidmete Geschichte ist für mich die beste zu dieser Gesamtgeschichte über die Rydeville Elite World. Ich konnte nicht aufhören zu lesen und war deshalb leider in Höchstgeschwindigkeit durch. Alle anderen habe ich auch schon längst durch. Bitte mehr von diesen Geschichten. Die Story mit ihren Wendungen und Unvorhersehbarkeiten, einfach mega, und dazu dieser gorgeous Boy ;-).
- Hannah MurrayReviewed in Australia on February 17, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars The story of two broken people
Nessa and Jackson have both had…difficult pasts. They’re handling it differently though. Nessa is trying to move forward on her own two feet. Jackson’s desperation for vengeance for his sister has left him stuck.
Jackson shows how hate can turn a person into something ugly. I’ll be honest - at one point I didn’t want Nessa to end up with him. Nessa is probably one of the strongest female characters I’ve read. Despite her own traumas she’s able to support people around her.
I love how the books tie in with Siobhan’s Kennedy series. The world she has created is so rich - I’m looking forward to seeing how it continues to grow.
- BrendaReviewed in Canada on May 27, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Angsty, dark, and absolutely delicious.
Make sure you cancel all your plans before you start Jackson, because you won't be able to put it down.
Siobhan SLAYED it. Jackson was everything you were hoping for and more.
Jackson and Nessa are absolutely perfect. Equal parts broken, dark and passionate.
Jackson is angsty, gritty and dark, a rollercoaster of epic proportions. A book you don't want to miss.
**Jackson can be read as a standalone, but is interconnected with the Rydeville High Elite series. For your reading enjoyment I highly suggest you start from the beginning**

4.0 out of 5 stars Besser als die anderen Bücher
Ich weiß nicht, woran es liegt. Kann schon sein, dass meine Beziehung zu den Charakteren mich mehr in die Geschichte involvieren. Aber ich fand diese Geschichte einfach besser erzählt, ausführlicher, realistischer und spannender. Ich kann Sawyers Geschichte kaum erwarten.
