booksandbraids 's review for:

Elite by Rachel Van Dyken
2.0

This was... interesting.

I will start by recapping the comments I made as status updates:

-I got this one as an audio book-I do not care much for the voice of the woman who is reading it.
-I made the mistake of reading a negative review before starting the book. It compared it to Ouran High School Host Club and I can definitely see it. They also said that this book is highly unrealistic in its representation of a real college- I can see that too. It would be better off as a boarding school than a college"
-Despite being a combination between ouran high school and 50 shades like the one review I read pointed out, I'm actually now sort of hooked
-What in the world just happened. What is with this attack. Even worse. What in the world is up with her screaming all that. Why would she demand him to promise her that. I don't care if she thinks she's going to die. It was one thing to accidentally state out loud her realization, but to repeat herself and go on and on? No. Bad. That's forcing the story to progress in a really stupid way


and then, all that mafia crap started! In the end this book turned out to be really really weird. The voice of the reader drove me insane. I am going to read the sequel and actually read it opposed to getting it as an audio book because I can't stand another minute of her voice.

Also- I have a feeling three is going to be a love triangle. I am almost on team Chase over Nixon... We will have to wait and see what happens!
