Elite (Yanez)

Every story has a beginning. His starts with a lie. He thought he was just another nice guy trying to figure out his future. Until a mysterious woman literally crashes into his life, dragging him into a world of secrets, powers, and an ancient order that has shaped history from the shadows. What follows is anything but normal. Hunted by enemies he didn't know existed. Haunted by truths about who – and what – he really is. Connor Moore is forced to confront a legacy he never asked for, and a destiny he can't outrun. As tensions rise and ancient forces stir, Connor must decide who he can trust, how far he's willing to go, and whether the power awakening inside him will be a gift... or a curse. Fans of The Mortal Instruments, A Shade of Vampire, and Shayne Silvers will devour The Beast Within-a gripping, fast-paced urban fantasy with heart, heat, and high stakes.

Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies thrown in a volcano never to be seen again. Well, that was the plan anyway. Now, in the midst of sorting out some good ol' daddy issues, Connor has to rescue Laren and the rest of the Elite council from a historically known baddie. If He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named and Keyser Söze had a best friend, Vercin would be him. Connor will have to put his huevos rancheros on the line to stop Vercin from doing a boatload of bad things. Like really bad.
