sonybless 's review for:

Elite by Rachel Van Dyken
4.0

I enjoyed the first book, but found there were many plot holes within the story and at times it was confusing. It kept my interest and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Trace (Tracey) is a farm girl from Wyoming (or is she?), who wins a prestigious slot at a very select elite private college. Things do not go well for her. She is tormented, taunted, and picked on by just about everyone. She meets a charming, yet arrogant, self-centered boy named Nixon, who seems to have a gaggle of followers. He sends such mixed singles, that you will have whiplash reading this. One minute he is vile and cruel, and the next he is melting Trace's panties.

Most of the story centers around Trace and Nixon, but we also meet Chase along the way. He is Nixon's cousin and is charming and very much Trace's savior. I can only hope that we are leading to a love triangle in future books. I enjoyed the mafia aspect of the story, I was looking for a good fiction series that has a little mob flair and I think I have found it.
