"BAM, and just like that, Elena has done it again, another dark book that is amazing. The Test is book two in The 4 Horseman series, Vic and Justice story. <br/><br/> I had a love/hate relationship with Vic is book one, and now that we see a different side of him, I can say he is one of my favorites. He still can be a jerk, don’t get me wrong. It was great reading his character growths. Justice and Vic both have baggage, and that girl is his equal. She definitely challenged him. <br/><br/> <b> Someone really needs to slap your privileged ass down,” she said while following me to my corner of the floor, so it lost its sharp edge. <br/> <br/> “And you’re gonna be the pink-haired warrior who takes me down?”<br/> <br/>Taking a step towards me, she raised her chin, while our chests nearly touched. “My pink hair doesn’t make me weak any more than your small set of balls.”<br/><br/><p> While enjoyed their journey, along with the darkness, heartbreaking, and steamy sexual chemistry, I couldn’t help but be team, Vic. When Vic falls, he falls deep and goes big. Khaos is still my top favorite, Vic is my second.<br/><br/>I received an arc in exchange for my honest review."

"This short book reads like a Black Mirror episode<br/>In order to become a UK citizen, an immigrant has to go through a series of trolley problems.<br/><br/><br/>Although the concept was good and thought provoking, I think the execution leaked a bit of depth, especially from a virtue ethics perspective.<br/>The thing with trolley problems is that there is something to say for either (and/or no) choice. This ambiguity was lost in the story, either for the sake of the plot or because the author isn't well versed in the underlying theoretical material.<br/>It was an interesting and (although dark) entertaining read nonetheless."
