Rating: 5 out of 5

Elect picks up literally at from the ending of Elite and takes you on a rollercoaster of emotion. This book was so suspenseful I wasn't sure what was gonna happen and I literally could not put it down. Despite the drama, mafia craziness, and darker moments, this story centers around the most amazing of love stories. One person willing to give up everything in an effort to protect the one they love. Nixon has definitely made it to my best book boyfriend list. There were times his arrogance and behavior annoyed me in the first book, but he is redeemed completely in my eyes.There are times this book borders on being like a love triangle which made me a little upset with Trace. I cannot understand how easily she fell into her feelings with Chase. Add in the craziness of the old history we learn about while solving the mystery of who killed Trace's parents and who is behind all the upheaval and I have to admit I was left a little confused. I am still not sure of the Nixon/Monroe/Chase family tree. But regardless, the story comes together well and I was not disappointed in the end. Another unexpected was Phoenix's POV. I really felt for him after getting more of his history and am glad for the way it turned out. I am hopeful based on the ending with Mil, that another book has to be in the works.Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
