Amazing!

Palm South just gets better and better. Everyone is growing up. Graduating college, appreciating their friendships and relationships!! The narration is addicting.
I love Kandi Steiner, her writing, the rawness, the twists… I can’t wait for Greek!

Gahhh my hearttttt 😭😭❤️‍🩹💞✨

This 6th season was another rollercoaster of emotions... The final chapters had my heart racing, and I was literally bawling 😭 So much happened!! Some great, some awful, but tear worthy nonetheless…



Main highlights:

1. The love triangle between Jess, Kade and Jarred… I can’t deal 😭 #teamKade (✨that dream tho 🥵✨)

2. I LOVE Gavin’s character. He is so quirky and fun… …and he broke my heart 😭😭😭💔

3. So proud of Ashley!! She makes a big move and takes back control of her life. Love that she knows how to ask for what she wants!! 💪😤✨

4. Bear finally shoots his shot. He truly is a protector. I love him so much!! He’s perfect for a certain someone 🥰 Also… seeing him with his family was so heartwarming 😭❤️

5. Adam and Cassie are such adorable hot messes 😂 They seem to be heading in the right direction, but the future may present some obstacles…

6. Kip and Skyler have to face a big issue of their own… …and it broke my heart, tbh. They are a favorite couple of mine. That was hard to read 😭 I am jumping straight into the next season, cuz I need to see what happens 😭😭😭💔

7. Can we talk about the steamy scenes in this book?? I mean, the entire series is 🔥 but dang, there were some favorites in here for sure 🥵🥵🙈🙈



🎧 Audiobook narration, like the others in the series, was top notch 🔝💖

My heart is full!

Erin and Bear are everything and they finally find their way back to each other and I’m on a heavy book hangover. So happy for Ashlei as well winning back her Prince Charming. Such a good series!

A Chokehold of a Series 🤍

This season shows the relationship bonds holding strong and a certain permanence. I could feel the end coming but absolutely loved every bit of this listen read. The characters feel like real life friends and their stories are comfort reads. This season also solidified my love for Skyler and Bear's (Clinton) friendship. I love all the couples and all the dynamics between everyone but their friendship is like coming home, comfortable and accepting no matter what. My favorite Kandi drama, angst, and love was in full bloom. If I haven’t mentioned it yet in my previous reviews of the series- the narrators are absolutely phenomenal and really bring this group to life!

The ANGST!

This season…whew! So much angst & tension. I cannot wait to dive into the last book (even though I don’t want to say goodbye)

The best college series to ever not hit my screen

How I've missed my PSU peeps! This series is seriously addicting.

As I've come to expect from Kandi and par for the course for the PSU crowd, Hazed has it all: Angst, Drama, Love, Lust, Heartbreak, Hope, Secrets, Lies and twists galore, perfectly performed by the narrating cast.
By now, each and every character is etched in my heart, and I deeply felt all their stories, struggles, highs and lows. I can't believe another class of my favorite people are now graduates!

With one final year to go, and one final season still ahead, I'm praying for HEAs or at least HFNs all around.

5 stars and one more season

Favorite so far!

Another PSU book done! This one was probably my favorite so far. I felt so much growth and maturation in the characters in this one. Once again, the full cast narrating was wonderful. Having been the sixth nook in the series, I have really started to get attached to these guys. Only one story to go before I have to say goodbye!

I don't want this series to end!

This series! I think I'm left speechless after every book because they make me feel so many things that I don't know where to start! I loved this audiobook. I love these characters and I love every snippet we can get about them. This audiobook, as per usual, made me happy, mad, jealous, nervous, scared, and just a mess. There were so many highs I had been anxiously waiting for and yet some new lows that made my heart break all over again. We have one more book to bring everything where I'd like to see it and I know Kandi is going to deliver. I can't believe this series is almost over and if you haven't started yet, you're missing out because I'm addicted to this series and will probably be a blabbering mess when I read the last page of Greek, the final audiobook. More amazing work by Kandi and by these phenomenalnarrators that bring these books to life!

This series has me in chokehold

*some spoilers ahead*

This installment of Palm South University was DEEEEEP. I felt all the feels. So many relationship changes in this season. The characters who I thought were solid are falling apart, and the relationships that were broken apart are coming together (thank god Mr. Church came to his senses!!!). Also, can we talk about the love triangle dream Jess has?? Why choose babe?? 🤣 in all reality, I’m team whoever makes Jess happy and I have no idea who she is going to choose. I am so happy for Bear and Erin. It’s their time to shine! Also, Kandi I am BEGGING you to make this work out for Kip and Sky, although we need a big grovel from Mr. Jackson asap. So sad there is only one season left! I am not ready to say goodbye 😭😭😭

Love PCU

I am loving the PSU world- and I just love the creatively unique, high drama, deliciously angsty way that Kandi has developed this story and world. It's loads of fun, as juicy as a soap opera, and gives me all that yummy collegiate nostalgia. In this 6th outing we know these character well- and it's been fun to see how they've evolved over the course of the series. We're seeing them grow up- as individuals and in their relationships, both figuring out how to be more evolved adults and humans AND seeing them grapple with the complexities of young love and friendship. I especially loved Erin's journey in this story and how she sparkled in this book- seeing her overcome, how she's handled her challenges. And all the Skyler and Jess content- I love them both! And Bear- oh my yummy Bear. Hazed solidified my love for him even more- his heart, the way he shows up for his crew, he's just so sweet and endearing! I've loved seeing him evolve from a player to a big hearted devoted friend and love interest.

While the PCU series might not be the story construct I'm used to, I've found it so immersive. Getting to spend so many books with the whole crew- it feels like a real ensemble story, and you really start to root for and care about them all. As usual drama and misunderstandings abound, but these co-eds are evolving, and I can't wait until they have it all figured out. ON to the next!
