New Release+Review: Elite by Carrie Aarons
A Privileged Novel
you’ll never be in.
Eloise Mason knows what it’s like to live among the privileged. Seeking a
change from the upper crust society of Europe, she flies halfway across the
world for a semester abroad in the one place guaranteed to toss responsibility
out the window and provide some good, old-fashioned fun; college in The United
States.
Except nothing at the picturesque, Ivy-covered university in Vermont appears as
it seems. And after a mysterious invitation arrives on her doorstep, curiosity
wins over the need to turn her back on games meant for the rich and ruthless.
Secret societies, risky tasks, and an inner circle to rival the royals. But it
may just be one American boy who threatens to be the most dangerous endeavor of
all.
Colton Reiter defines the word idolized at Jade Mountain University. In fact,
he practically rules the roost from the three point line of the basketball
court. The college’s star point guard, he is a god and treated as such;
professional scouts at every game, teachers looking the other way when it comes
to grades, and girls falling into his lap at the snap of a finger. He wants for
nothing, or at least that’s what he wants everyone to believe.
But when he meets the sassy girl with the British accent who could care less
about his status, her very existence threatens to unveil the skeletons buried
deep in the back of his closet.
With stakes this high, and hearts on the line, can they turn their backs on
power and popularity before the ivory tower comes crashing down on their heads?
When Eloise Mason decides to take a semester from her studies in Paris to experience the American college life, she doesn’t expect to be invited to pledge at one of the elite social clubs at the university, but used to being part of the privileged upper crust, she’s always up for a challenge.
Colton Reiter is the resident jock, basketball star and member of the top male social house at Jade Mountain U. Handsome, cocky and treated like a god, he’s used to get whatever he wants and he wants Eloise.
Eloise will unearth secrets and learn not everything is as innocent as it seems at Jade Moutain. Colton has a deep rooted secret that, if known, could bring the career he’s been working so hard for crumbling before it even starts.
I liked the relationship between Colton and Eloise. These two are raw passion and feed of each other, a true case of opposites attract. I enjoyed their banter and to see Eloise’s personality in full bloom from the beginning.
Elite was a bit over the top for my taste, but there were enough elements that redeemed the story keeping it engaging and interesting enough.
