The Elite by Kiera Cass
Expected Release Date: April 23, 2013
Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.
America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.
Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.
My Reaction:
Well now. I hate love triangles don't I? I do. With a passion. Yet this one caught my attention and really wouldn't let me go. On this one, I can't decide. Predicting who the protagonist will end with is usually easy. Yet on this one, I actually can'f figure it out. Throw in an ending for the previous book where nothing is sure, and all of a sudden getting my hands on this book is of the uttermost importance. There are times when the first book felt like a season of The Bachelor, but there is a lot more at stake here. And who can forget the beautiful covers. All of that together, makes this a book to remember, because to sum it up, we have a fight to be princess, beautiful dresses, a handsome prince, a gorgeous old friend/guard, and a full-scale rebellion. The palace is full of secrets and I can't wait to learn them all in this next release.
