It is rare that I give star ratings when I post my reviews, however I am giving ELICIT a scorching 5 star review. I didn't think it was possible for Rachel Van Dyken to leave me speechless, yet she managed to. While reading Elicit, I was captivated with each word she wrote. With every turn of the page, I feared what was to come for Tex and Mo.
At the end of Entice, Tex killed his father, given him the position of Capo dei Capi in the Cosa Nostra. He was given two choices. Choose the blood that you were born to or choose the blood that you were raised with.
Tex had decisions to make, but would he make the right ones. When he is being forced to choose between being a head of the Campisi family or choosing to protect the ones that he loves, what will he do? Will Tex choose Campisi? Will he protect Mo Abandanato, the one that has held his heart for years? Will he choose the Abandanato family, that one that he was raised by when his own family didn't want him? It has been said,
Blood Always Wins.
The only way out is death...yours.
Which blood will Tex choose?
Mo Abandanato is the one person that is Tex's ruin. Mo is Tex's weakest link. Things aren't always how they appear. Things aren't always black and white. Tex isn't the only one that has made choices that effect all of them. Mo has made decisions to protect the ones that she loves as well. Mo can only hope that when all is revealed, that they will understand the decisions she has made. Can Mo and Tex trust each other? When the truth is revealed, will it shatter their families? How will Tex react? Will he feel betrayed? How will Nixon handle the truths as they are revealed? Mo is a force to reckon with. She fights for those that she loves, and she will stop at nothing to protect them. Even it it means sacrificing herself.
Elicit is by far my favorite book that Rachel has written. There are so many twists and turns in this book, so many moments where you are like WHAT THE F**K!! DID THAT JUST HAPPEN? One word describes the emotion that I felt while reading this book, INTENSE. My heart raced while I read the struggles that Tex and MO both went through. To know that Tex was once the happy go lucky guy who always made a joke in any situation, to see him transform before my eyes into a ruthless leader, was pure craziness. We can't forget about the chemistry between Tex and Mo, which has always been evident throughout this series, however Rachel took it to a whole other level in Elicit.
If you have not read this series, I suggest you start it immediately. I absolutely LOVE this series. Rachel has created a group of characters that will weave themselves into your heart and you will feel all of the pain that they go through in order to protect each other. I fell in love with Chase from the very beginning and I never thought it was possible for Chase to be knocked off his thrown. Boy, was I wrong. Tex came out swinging in this book. We see the playful side of Tex that we have grown to love and then we see the intense side of Tex, which is new to us. There were times that I was laughing out loud and then times that I would cringe when the words were spoken, as my heart ached for what was to come.
Rachel, you are simply AMAZING and with every book you write I fall more in love with your writing and your stories. You knocked the ball out of the park with Elicit, kudos to you my friend.
