The Rose Society is the dark and fascinating sequel to The Young Elites. The trilogy tells the story of Adelina Amouteru. A girl who was betrayed and came back for revenge… The final book in The Young Elites Trilogy will be published in 2016.

Here are my favorite quotes from the book:

1. “Your idea of nice is different from others'.” (p.12)
2. “Save your fury for something greater.” (p.17)
3. “You are powerful, mi Adelinetta, but you have all the charisma of a burnt potato pudding.” (p.82)
4. “Why can’t I be the one to strike first, to hit so early and with such fury that my enemies cower before they can ever think of turning on me?” (p.97)
5. "You were doing just fine. You could have run away. That was another option, you know, aside from murder. You should consider it sometime, because it works splendidly." (p.101)
6. “We help whoever can get us the most gold.” (p.169)
7. “I considered them my friends, until they weren’t.” (p.192)
8. “A thief must be both be both patient and impatient to be good, must have impeccable timing. Right?” (p.211)
9. "I'm trying to say that you are living in a world of illusions, of your own creation. You are in love with something that no longer exists." (p.320)
10. "You live because I say so, and you will do as I command." (p.367)
11. "I will keep you, until the day I choose not to. You have destroyed and harmed all that is dear to me. In return, I want you to know what that feels like. I will not kill you. I will keep you alive. I will torture you. Until your soul is dead." (p.375)
