Review: Good ..but not as good as Elite
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 28, 2013
This was a good book but not nearly as entertaining as Elite (first book in this series).  This book seemed to have been written in a rush and just didn't measure up to the first book.  Regardless, it still deserves a solid 4 star rating.  Each chapter was told from one of the character's viewpoints (i.e. Chase, Nixon or Phoenix).  When reading the chapter of Chase, I was certain it was Chase that should win Trace's heart.  Who wouldn't want to vote for the underdog - right?  Then I would read Nixon's chapter and change my mind and want Nixon to be Trace's soul mate. We all like the bad boy with all the tattoos and piercings - right?  Just could not make up my mind.  However, I really could not relate to Trace.  Could not see the appeal these guys saw in her.  She came off as needy, shallow and not really bright. Trace seemed the sort of girl who just "loves the one she is with". Case in point - when she thought Nixon was dead, it only took her a day or so to put him out of her mind and then she was all ready to move on with Chase. She seemed to really get off on playing the two guys against each other and then acted oblivious about knowing that was what she was doing. Really just could not figure out the huge attraction these guys saw in this girl.  So totally confused about that.
