Elect is written from three male points of view.  Nixon, Chase and Phoenix.  I liked getting into the guys heads and seeing how they thought.  I will say I would love to read this story from Trace's point of view. I want to know what was going through her head.  Elect is filled with love, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, hurt, lies, mystery and the unexpected. I savored it in one sitting as I could not bring myself to stop till the last word was read at 2:30am. It was worth every moment. The web of lies, deceit and danger is spectacular.  Nixon is place is a tough situation and makes some very difficult decisions with the thought of Trace alone. Remember that!! Chase is put in some compromising situations and he takes advantage of them. I was surprised how much I liked getting into Phoenix's head. It really helped me understand him and why he did the things he did. Not to excuse his behavior.  The roller coaster of action, anxiety, emotions and stress was an exciting ride. I felt a part of the story. I could feel the pain, love and urgency to protect those we love. The cast was brilliant along with the plot and character development.  Lucas is a pretty creepy guy. I think you don't want to mess with the Sicilians.  Mil was a new character and vital to this story. How Lucas resolves an issue, with Mil as the answer, was a bit of a shock to me. I thought it was a stellar move. I am eager to read Chase's story as we are left speechless at the end of this book.  I truly love this amazing mafia series Ms. Van Dyken has out done herself!  This is a must read book.Just FYI~ This does contain swearing, violence and reference to sex but no detail.
