"Pledge" delivers a thrilling and addictive continuation of the captivating Palm South University series. Kandi Steiner masterfully weaves a web of drama, romance, and friendship that kept me engrossed from start to finish. The well-developed characters continue to evolve in this book, facing new challenges that add depth to their individual journeys. Steiner's ability to create authentic college experiences and emotions is commendable, drawing me into the tumultuous lives of the characters. While some plot points may feel predictable, the emotional intensity and relatable themes of love, loyalty, and self-discovery make "Pledge" a standout addition to the series, leaving me eager to read more into the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 4 stars 

All of the drama, secrets, and spice I have come to love from this PSU crew, continues here in season three and things are really shaking up.

This series is perfect for summer, and the way it's written like a reality TV drama broken down into episodes, makes for a quick and very entertaining read.

I've got Season 4 (Legacy) and Black Number Four queued up on my Kindle and ready to do the tandem read since they overlap each other in timeline.

Now I want this series on tv, this is going perfect for tv drama adaptation, it's even written for it already. Okay this is now Season 3, we get more drama, which makes it amazing. Our beloved characters are making me go on a rollercoaster of emotions, I am in love with all of them in their own way. The realism of the story in this book is what I wanted for them all. I need the next one!

i liked this one just as much as the other ones. i'm still not really into erin's storyline and find myself just quickly brushing through it whenever one of her chapters comes up. however, all the other characters continuously grow on me more and more and i'm excited what's to come. i wasn't too happy with some things that happened and some of the author's relationship choices but all in all it was a great book once again.

Overall I really enjoyed this book for my Reread. Just so much drama with everything especially Cassie and Grayson. Kandi Steiner never fails with this college series. Definitely a guilty pleasure read and if you love Greek the tv show you will love this series!

Amazing! So addicting and so good!! I need more... like right now! I don’t know how I got invested in these characters so fast and so deep. I need to know what happens to them and what is going on right this second! This is without a doubt the best guilty pleasure out there!

I have never read a series in this style, television drama form. I absolutely love it and wish there were more out there. It is such a fun, entertaining, and quick read. The short chapters, or scenes, within each episode make it a addicting, fast paced, story that is packed full of drama, lies, sex, and all kinds of relationships. I started it one second and it felt like only an hour or so later I was done. I ate it up and couldn’t get enough!

In season 3, we are introduced to new sides of our favorite characters. Some of those sides will make you swoon and fall in love while others make you angry, frustrated, and annoyed. Erin, Skyler, Lei, Jess, Cassie, Bear, and Adam are some of my favorite characters of all time! Please give me the next season right now please!!!

Go binge this entire series right now! It’s amazing!

Grateful to have received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Pledge by Kandi Steiner is book 3 of the Palm South University series. I love these books. They are written in episodes and it's like watching a television show. I'm showing my age but these stories remind me of Beverly Hills, 90210 or Melrose Place.

These are very female forward stories that could be written separately but I think that it would take away from the university/sorority focus of the books. These characters wouldn't be who they are or as compelling on their own.

If Kandi Steiner writes more of these books I will keep reading them.
