The Young Elites (Young Elites, #1)

by Marie Lu

Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood plague: marked by a jagged scar, snow-white hair and lashes. Cast out by her family, Adelina has finally found a place to belong within the secret society of Young Elites. To some, the Elites are heroes, here to save innocents in desperate situations. But to the Inquisition Axis, the white-robed soldiers of Kenettra, they are monsters with demonic powers who must be brought to justice. As Adelina learns more about this perilous world where politics and magic clash, she soon realizes that her own powers may be in danger of bringing on an era of panic such as the world has never seen.

Oh wow.. this was something else !! Just amazing !! I don't even know where to begin..
The plot is great and full of surprises, the main character is awesome and very likeable. She did not whine, but is full of power and bravery. I love her darkness.
About that, I was also kind of surprised now dark this novel was, especially compared to her other series I did not expect this.
The romance was just right, not in the middle of the attention, but it was there.
I even liked the bad guy haha !! Maybe I'm rooting a bit for him.. Did not really feel it with Enzo.
It was perfect, and I will dive right into the second one !!
