Elite

Elite by Mercedes Lackey, 360 pages

“Hunting monsters was supposed to be the hard part. When Joy came to Apex City, all she cared about was protecting the Cits from the dangers lurking outside protective barriers. She understood the need for the secrecy surrounding her Hunts-no need to cause a panic by announcing just how real a threat the Othersiders pose. But as she quickly discovered, the conspiracies of the city run much deeper. And a dangerous new covert mission leaves Joy with a target on her back once more. Joy desperately seeks answers to figure out who her real enemies are before all-out war.”  This is the Sequel to Hunter, which I didn’t realize when I started reading it.  I would have preferred to read them in order, because there were a lot of references in the beginning to events from the previous book.  Despite that, I really liked the book.  I would highly recommend it to teens who like fantasy and adventure, especially if they like battle scenes and death.
