Date: 01 22, 2014
Woah! Talk about starting off with a bang! We end Elite with Nixon pouring his heart out to Tracey and vowing to protect the one he has loved all his life and Tracey’s grandfather, Frank, killing the De Lange mob boss. We start off Elect with a prologue that makes your heart jump right out of your chest immediately making you ask, what the hell is going on?There is serious intensity going on in this book! There were moments I yelled, I was anxious, I cried, I was frustrated, I loved it!The Sicilian’s have come to investigate! When Nixon learns it’s the Nicolosi family, THE ORIGINAL family, he freaks. Things are about to get serious & messy.“A life for a life,” Luca shrugged.”When Nixon is trying to make a deal with Luca Nicolosi , Luca brings in Phoenix with his information on Tracey and her grandfather and Luca threatens her life if they don’t give up her grandfather’s location. Chase covers for Nixon saying the information he has been given is false, Tracey is Chase’s girlfriend. This causes disturbance and the deal is made between Nixon & Luca that he has until the end of the fall semester to find out who killed Tracey’s parents or they have to give up where her grandfather is in hiding. Because of this, Chase & Tracey are forced to pretend they are a couple. As if you can’t see where this may be heading!“That’s the thing about love-you’d do anything to secure it-except when you finally have it, you’re so damn worried about losing it that your choices are no longer selfless but selfish.”The war….OMG!! Can you say crazy! There are quite a few twists that happen that will have your jaw dropping. Unexpected information is revealed and then more unexpected information is revealed, GAW! You will be so frustrated, even though what happens is necessary…we know it, but the characters have no idea what is going on….but where would be the fun in reading if I were to spoil the plot for you.“When you react out of pain or fear, you pause, giving your enemy time to kill you.”Things get crazy intense in the relationship department. And as you can imagine…quite frustrating! Luca is everywhere! Damn this guy. He’s even become a stand-in teacher at Eagle Elite teaching Tracey’s Chemistry class. The “relationship” necessity between Chase & Tracey is about to get real serious. Tracey looks to Chase with brotherly/friendship love and it tears Chase apart that they aren’t together and she doesn’t see him differently. Nixon is torn to shreds having to watch the love of his life act as girlfriend and kiss his best friend. What happens? Well, you’ll just have to read and find out! And trust me…you want to read & find out! “After all, if something doesn’t cost you absolutely everything-did you ever truly love it in the first place?”
