Synopsis: Absolute power
corrupts absolutely.
Nothing can describe the town of Silvercrest better.
This seemingly charming, sleepy town is ruled by The Society. An elite
organization swimming in Old money that originates back to the founding
families. But money cannot hide the stench of death and deceit which lingers
amongst the sweet smelling hydrangeas that surround white picket fences.
Tristan Radcliffe might be my fiancé, but not through choice. Nothing in my
life is a choice.
I am always a good girl, obeying my family as expected because I am Elena
Montgomery, a child of The Society.
And this was the life we lived.
My Review:
I loved this story in The Society anthology and I was really glad that it got
extended.
The Society will do anything to protect their way of life, even if that means
forcing Elena to marry Tristan. Elena is a perfect student who loves to dance
and tries way too hard to please her father even when he doesn’t have her best
interests at heart. Tristan on the other hand would rather smoke weed and
paint.
Elena doesn’t want to marry Tristan she wants to go to college but her father is having none of it he won’t have her ruin his look as Mayor, the only person who sees the real Elena is Tristan.
Tristan spend the whole book pushing Elena trying to remove the strings put in place by her father, he wants her to be free and be herself but all Elena wants to do is please her father and be a good girl.
During this extended version we got to see more of the background characters throughout Elena and Tristan’s chapters and I LOVED Tabitha and how she looks out for Elena and Elena’s mother who helps Elena to finally be herself even if Elena thinks the mother-daughter time is a test.
Can Tristan win Elena round or will her father push her too far?
