Review: Trace and Nixon or Trace and Chase...
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 1, 2014
My rating: 5 of 5 starsRachel Van Dyken is becoming one of my new favorite authors. This girl knows how to write. Ugh I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. I told myself to slow down and not stay up until 2AM reading one of her books again, but when you're gifted with something amazing, you can't always listen to that logical side of your brain!!Okay, so if you haven't read Elite (book #1), then this book won't make sense, so I'm going to assume those reading this review have read the first book and know what I'm talking about.Okay so Trace Alfero and Nixon Abandonato are back. Along with there friends and family Chase, Monroe, and even Phoenix. But things are getting totally messed up and spiralling out of control so quickly. The first book is in Trace's POV, but this one alternates between Nixon, Chase, and Phoenix. At times I would have loved to know what was going on in Trace's head, but I think getting the guys' firsthand accounts and opinions and feelings was perfect. Sometimes authors' have trouble writing in the male POV, but Rachel Van Dyken aced it! I felt so much pain coming from all three characters. There were parts that brought me to tears. This book contained death, a love triangle, and a lot of emotion from every character.Overall, the book blew me away. This is the kind of book that you can't really give hints as to what happens nor can you explain things without ruining plot twists. I'm giving this book 5 STARS OUT OF 5 STARS because I cannot get enough!! I can't wait for the next book... so that's my only real hint. I think everyone interested in new adult/suspense/mystery/ass kicking/emotional roller coaster/amazing writing should read this book. But make sure you read Elite first!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Read by Taryn Lee on December 6, 2013Reviewed by Taryn Lee on December 13, 2013
