joyful808 's review for:

Elite by Rachel Van Dyken
4.0

Elite drew me in from the start and is a very fast read. It has all the elements of a Romeo and Juliet premise set in Chicagoland - with the mob. It is heated and emotional.

Prepare to have things get amped up quickly, there is a LOT of tension and testosterone. AND then there's the additional threat, "the Sicilians are coming" ... uh, oh.
Never get involved in a land war in Asia - But only slightly less well know is this! Never go against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line! - Vizzini
Yeah, no. The Sicilians of Eagle Elite are not like The Princess Bride. It's just whenever I hear 'Sicilian' I think of that quote!
