I wanted to take care of him, like he took care of me. He was my rock, and now it was my turn to be his.
When Tracey Rooks gets picked in the annual lottery for a chance to attend the prestigious Eagle Elite College in Chicago, she has no idea what she has walked into. But it was all a setup. A plan in motion. It was time.
From a farm out in Wyoming living with her grandfather, Tracey is determined to help do her part by getting a good education and job for their future.
However, The Elect are not welcoming.
'Memorize it now, because as of this moment, you can't touch us.'
The Elect consist of a group of elite pupils who run the school behind a very dangerous and powerful name. But Tracey knows none of it, only the cruelty that they show to protect her. They pull her close and push her away, but Tracey tries to stay with it. She has to believe that she can belong here. She has to not let them get to her.
"Everything you've ever known... is about to change."
There's power in a name. And when it comes down to business, Tracey's name means power and blood, something she's never really known, but now she's thrown into the deep end. She finds herself in the midst of a turn of events as the past catches up to the future for The Elect.
She was the enemy, but as things heat up, lies and betrayal leads the group all into danger as all hell is set to break loose.
They are coming.
“For a moment, life isn’t as hard as it seems. Effortless. It’s effortless, and then the gauntlet falls.”
Settling into Eagle Elite, Nixon is the boss and makes Tracey's life another kind of hell. He makes the rules. He is steel and stone, but only because he has to be. But the group starts to fall apart as the enemy becomes their undoing- her.
She was always his, if only she would remember. But they aren't possible. It would go against everything for them to be together.
And then there's Chase... and there's a new kind of fight on the brink.
“Sometimes, Chase… it’s the emotional wounds that hurt the most.”
This book was good! I liked the characters and the story was quite good too. I did have a bit of a problem towards the end of it- I liked Tracey's sass when she got going but then at the end, it was just one reaction that put me off almost the entire book which annoys me but I did enjoy the book at the same time.
