Oh my God!!!!! This book is freakin' PHENOMENAL!!!! I'm still in a state of numbness since I finished reading it. I can't pick up another book!!! I can perfectly remember all the books that have kept me awake at night. The books that make me want to become invisible to the world until I read the last page. The books that leave me breathless and keep me wanting more. Elect is one of these books or should I say series. I read Elite and Elect back-to-back and I am now suffering from one of the worst book hangovers EVER!!! I need more of Nixon, Trace and Chase. They have been in my mind non-stop. Their story is SUBLIME! The writing style is perfect and the fact that this book is written in not one, but three POV is just AWESOME!Elect picks up where Elite left off. Nixon and Trace are now a couple, but they are far from their HEA. Deception, betrayal, heartbreak, many obstacles are on the path to finding happiness. What they never saw coming is the love that Chase (Nixon's cousin and best friend) feels for Trace. Decisions will be made, hearts will be broken and shocking confessions will be revealed!Action ... Check!Passion ... Check!Love triangle ... Check!Mystery ... Check!Outstanding story ... Check!I'm so in love with this series that I don't even know how to put into words how I feel! For two days I lived for these characters and I devoured every single chapter. I don't want to give anything away because you need to FEEL this story. I won't deny that i'm still an emotional mess. I HATE love triangles!!!! I know that one person can love two people at the same time, but never at the same level. In Elect I did not feel that way. My heart broke for Nixon, Trace and Chase. Both these guys love Trace. She feels a connection to both of them and she has a difficult decision to make. I was switching between Team Nixon and Team Chase all.the.time. I was seriously starting to have a nervous breakdown :( It's like when I want hot chocolate ... I never know if I want it with or without marshmallows. I can't make up my mind!!! Thank God I was not the one making that heartbreaking decision! Both of them are amazing and their love for Trace is intense and beautiful. Watch out ladies! Swoon attack!!!The action was non-stop. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time with all the twists and turns. I was shocked at how the story played out! While I was reading Elect, it was like a movie was playing in my head. I was absorbing every little detail so that I could try and figure out who was behind the mystery that was revolving around Trace's life. What a shock to discover who was behind all of it. I never saw it coming!I give Elect by Rachel Van Dyken 5 strong, passionate, intoxicating, jaw-dropping, unforgettable stars! I'm so glad that I discovered this series. Rachel Van Dyken is now on my favorite authors list. I really connected with all the characters. I can't wait to see how the rest of the story will unfold. That ending was EPIC!!!! You need to add this series to your TBR list. It's F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!Favorite Quotes:''Then breathe in me.'' I released her and took off my soaked black t-shirt. ''Breathe in my atmosphere because then at least I know you're breathing. At least then I can hear you inhale and exhale. Trace, I can't fix what's been broken, and I'm not trying to take his place. God knows I can't, no matter how badly I wish I could.''-Chase (eArc, location 2409)''When I wake up in the morning ... I don't think, wow, how can I make her love me more? How can I have my way with her? I, I, I? Not in my vocabulary. In fact, I'm a big fan of the letter u. I eat, I think of you. I drink, I drink to you. I cry, so you don't have to. I'd die, for you to live. And I'd survive with a broken heart only if it meant mending yours.''-Nixon (eArc, location 3618)
