"Praise for Elite: ""Another fascinating chapter in Joy's saga that successfully marries fantasy and science fiction for teen readers.""--Booklist Praise for Hunter: *""Joyeaux's narration is spellbinding, the prose easily balancing the technology of the future with the tradition of the past. Captivating, dynamic, well-paced, and thrilling.""--Kirkus Reviews ""Avoiding a second-volume sag with plenty of charisma, this outing proves to be a satisfying read that takes the baton neatly from the first and leaves readers ready for more.""--Kirkus Reviews ""Fans of Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games series who like a little more magic and fantasy with their dystopia will appreciate this new series.""--VOYA ""Lackey successfully mixes dystopia and fantasy in this series opener . . . the novel is exciting, entirely entertaining, and sure to please her fans.""--Publishers Weekly"
