Elite (Privileged #2) by Carrie Aarons [Review]

Elite (Privileged #2) 
Carrie Aarons 

New Adult Romance
February 18, 2018

If you’re in, you’ll never have to ask. If you ask, you’ll never be in.

Eloise Mason knows what it’s like to live among the privileged. Seek 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?

You guys, this book was amazing. 

I know, I know, I say this about damn near every book I’ve read, but it’s true. Have you read Privileged yet? Yes? Okay good. No? That’s also okay. But if you did, do you remember Eloise? This is her book, and unlike or maybe like you, I just met her last week and I loved her in Privileged and I loved her even more in Elite. Things to know about Elite; this book takes place a few years after Privileged, so while we do have a small part where we hear from Asher and Nora, it’s not enough to be a big spoiler and you can still read about them after this.

Like the other two Carrie Aarons books I’ve read (I know, only two? I’m working on it) she gives us the added edge and suspense by giving us both sides to the story with alternate POV from Colton and Eloise, we know that they both have secrets and even though they really aren’t relationship type people, but they seem to click really well, fitting together like two sides of a coin. But then on top of that, Eloise is only there for the semester..Seems like there isn’t much of a chance for a future, or will something else stop them all together?

This should definitely be your next read and whats even better? It’s free on KU, so hop on that. But if you’re like me and can’t really afford that monthly $9.99, you can always do a free trial!

Hey all, welcome to my blog! I'm Meagan and I live in Central NY, I've been reading since I was 14 years old and it all started with James Patterson's 'Sam's Letters to Jennifer'. I took the book with me every where I thought I might have a second to read. It's been my go to book as well and I can't imagine what I would do if I never read that. When I'm not reading, which is almost never, you can find me watching my favorite shows which include Bones, Vampire Diaries, Grey's Anatomy, Castle, The Originals, Once Upon A Time, NCIS, The O.C. and Hawaii Five-O! When ever I start a book, I'm almost always instantly hooked, I will stay up all night reading if I can't put it down just so I know the happy ending. My favorite authors include Julie Prestsater, R.S. Grey, Leigh Talbert Moore, Jenn Sterling, P.C. and Kristen Cast, Richelle Mead, Lauren Kate, Gillian Flynn, Kandi Steiner, Brittainy C. Cherry, Staci Hart, Molly McAdams and James Patterson. I always love learning about new authors and talking books, if you'd like to get in touch, feel free to send me a DM on either instagram or facebook.
