""A gripping, unpredictable journey that keeps you guessing, never knowing who to trust. Elite unravels the eerie world of the Love Collective and delivers the perfect heroine you can't help but root for. In this second installment of the Collective Underground series, Young paints a beautiful allegory of hope and love persevering through tangled darkness."" -- Sandra Fernandez Rhoads, author of the Colliding Line series--Sandra Fernandez Rhoads ""Another strong, compelling narrative from Young with great characters and just enough tension to keep the pages turning even though I really needed to sleep. Apprentice Flick must figure out who to trust... and who not to, as she navigates through her world which has been completely turned upside down. A great next installment in the Collective Underground series."" -- Cecily Anne Paterson, author of Invisible--Cecily Anne Paterson ""The Matrix meets Divergent in this sensational dystopian novel! Every suspense-filled chapter kept me on the edge of my seat wondering if Flick would survive or be caught. I barely ate or slept for two days as I consumed this book and the end left me yearning for the next installment. Easily the best young adult novel I have read this year!"" -- Morgan L. Busse, awarding-winning author of the Ravenwood Saga and Skyworld series--Morgan L. Busse
