Elite by Rachel Van Dyken, Book Review

Blurb from the book:

When I won the annual Eagle Elite College Scholarship lottery, I was thrilled. After all, my grandma had just died and I wanted to take care of my aging grandpa -- he couldn't be a farmer in Wyoming forever. And graduating from Eagle Elite meant opportunity.
But I wasn't counting on meeting Nixon.


Nor was I counting on the rules of the Elect.

1. Do not touch The Elect.

2. Do not look at The Elect.

3. Do not speak to The Elect.


And worst of all? Don't discover the secret they hide, because in the end, you may just realize... it's about you.
*This is a New Adult Book, blood, violence, cursing, sexual references, and drug use. Not recommended for those under 17*
(Releasing at the end of April)


My Review:


OH. MY. WORD.  I should have known better than to pick up a Rachel Van Dyken book to read at night.  I stayed up until 1:30 A.M. to finish!  Because I literally could NOT STOP READING!!!!  I kept thinking, just one more chapter...that didn't happen!  This story was literally a roller coaster ride that I didn't want to end!  In fact, I need the next book, like last night at 1:30, hint hint Rachel!  The characters were amazing, I loved Trace from the beginning, she had spunk that I admired and Nixon I loved to hate...until I got to know him!  Chase and Monroe, Tex and Phoenix, they were all different and fun as well.  I felt like I was a part of the Elite world that Rachel Van Dyken created.  This book seriously had me crying (I don't cry easily), laughing out loud and scared as heck.  I loved the mystery and trying to put all of the pieces together.  I am going to read this book again...tonight!  I know, but it was that fabulous!  I promise this book will exceed your expectations and leave you wanting more....a whole lot more!  Hurry Rachel (PLEASE) because I am dying right now, and I need more Trace, Nixon, Monroe, Grandpa, Chase and Tex.  I cannot get this world out of my head, it was so realistically created!  The story keeps re-playing in my mind like a movie.  BEST BOOK I HAVE READ THIS YEAR!  Can I give a book ten stars?  I want to, but five is the max so five bright shiny stars for an awesome read!!!

I was lucky and received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.  I would have gladly paid for this book!

Rating:  Cussing, violence, sexual references.


You can pick up Elite via Amazon or Barnes and Noble.


Happy Reading!!!
