*Copy of book obtained from Netgalley*REVIEW: [...]Elect is second book in the Eagle Elite Series by Rachel Van Dyken and I found this to be a much more interesting read than the first book in the series, Elite. I was glued to this story from the very first page. It is a good mix of love, longing, suspense and mystery to keep even the fussiest reader interested.It is well written, moves at a good pace and never lulls in its momentum. The emotions are expressed very well and at times you forget that you’re reading a book and this isn’t reality. The mystery that has been presented to the reader is a tricky one to figure out and I found it to be unpredictable, it did confuse me a little at times but at the same time the characters were as well. However, all the details are clarified by the end of the story.The characters are all very likeable and you really feel for the predicament that they’ve been dragged into, simply because they were born into these Mafia families and this way of life is their destiny. The point of view changes between Nixon, Chase and Phoenix and this provides you with a clearer picture of the guys themselves and the mystery contained in this story. The love triangle between Nixon, Chase and Trace intensifies as she goes back and forth between the two guys whilst they try to keep each other safe from harm.There isn’t as much romance in this book than the first as the group has been dragged into an issue that stems back to their parents and much of the book concentrates on trying to figure out how to stop the violence and keep everyone in their family safe.Overall, a great read, with strong, brave characters and a plot that leaves you guessing.I recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense with their romance, those who enjoy figuring out a mystery and anyone into stories that include the Mafia.Book three in this series is called Entice and is expected to be released during 2014 and I look forward to reading this one as well.I rate this book 4 stars.
