Elite, by Mercedes Lackey
Published September 6, 2016, ages 12 and up.
“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.”
A great mix of Attack on Titan and Percy Jackson, this book describes the “hero’s journey” of Joy, a member of the Hunter Elite.
As you read this book, you follow Joy through a story of mystery and fighting. Along the way, the main character finds love, fear, and betrayal. As someone that did not read the first book, Hunter, it was still quite easy to pick up on what the plot of the first book was, because the author goes over a basic synopsis of the first book. This book was fantastic, a joy to read, and even though I did not read the first book in the series, Elite could easily be a stand alone book, and a great one at that.
