 The Eagle Elite series has never been about taking the easy road. There is no easy road when family is blood in, no out. 
 Dante Nicolasi is settling into life with Cosa Nostra. Participating in daily training with the bosses, he has a lot on his plate as he starts classes at Eagle Elite. 
 El is no stranger to danger and terror. Now that she is under the protection of the Italian families, life is a little easier and she is adjusting to her new freedoms. But the protections she is receiving from the Italian families can only last so long and school isn't the safe place she imagined it would be. 
 The games these families play aren't always easy to swallow, nor are they always cut and dry. There is a lot going on in this book, between the main couple and the rest of the families. At times I was uncomfortable with what I could see coming, at times I couldn't see how thing would sort themselves out. Danger is around every corner as Dante and El navigate their new roles. 
 I found myself drawn back into Rachel's mafia world very quickly. The heads of the families are all nearby as Dante is tasked with investigating what is going on at Eagle Elite. Watching this close-knit group of family reminded me of all the trials they have faced over the series and made me wish I could fit in a series re-read, especially as I hit the end and was faced with the emotional climax of Enrage. 
 This was not an easy end to read. It absolutely fit, but part of me needs to go back and read a few of the previous books in the series because it hurts to think about where they are now. I imagine the next book in the series is going to be one that readers clamor for and I can't wait to have it in my hands for so many reasons. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
