The Honor Society is the second book in the Deans List series and continues where the first book left off, with Charlie and Axel at odds over the mysterious Deans List.
About The Honor Society
Charlie never knew that members of her family are the things that go bump in the night. She found out who her biological father was and has hated him. Growing up she learned how to shoot and became an expert marksman. Did she want for anything growing up? Physically no. Emotionally and mentally yes. Little does she know who she is and who her family really is.
Axel’s history is muddied. He is related to Jude by marriage. They are cousins and play off of each other. Both have responsibilities, but enjoy letting go on occasion. Little does anyone know what Axel has going on behind the scenes. He cannot trust anyone and always has to watch his back. He does not have the protection afforded his cousin because of his name. He is a working guy, or so it appears.
The Honor Society picks up from where The Deans List left off. Axel is hiding secrets no one can know, but he is forced to trust one person with one of them. Charlie has been forced to do the one thing she absolutely does not want to do in order to keep him safe. But she has no idea the secrets or why she has been selected to do the dirty work.
Charlie has been targeted by an unknown number to obtain the Deans List at all costs. What will happen if she fails? That remains to be seen. She is given instructions and is expected to follow them. But when the ultimate order comes through, she disobeys intentionally. What will this cost her?
Axel has to make the ultimate decision. He has been playing with fire when it comes to Charlie, but he needs his focus. And he needs to protect her. She has no idea the value she holds in her hands, but he does. He knows a lot more than he lets on.
But Charlie is a wildcard. Will she ultimately betray Axel? Will this be the end of the Honor Society as it is structured today? Will old sins and debts cause heartbreak? Or will it lead to a clean slate and new leadership? Will Charlie reconcile her feelings for Axel knowing the secrets he has been keeping? Or will their love story go up in fire?
Impressions
Wow, this Honor Society is complicated. And boy does it have secrets. There are four houses to the society: War, Conquest, Famine and Death. Add in the Proctor and the Chancellor, who govern the Society. It is a complicated web full of lies, half truths, deceit and murder.
This is true mafia. An eye for an eye and a life for a life. This may not be Eagle Elite, but it is definitely blood in no out. God bless Rachel Van Dyken for keeping me on my toes and the edge of my seat throughout this book.
But this would not be a true Rachel Van Dyken book if it does not have gasps of shock, nail biting and edge of seat anticipation. And that ending. Wow. Just WOW!!!
