Sebastian Westbrook seems to have everything: wealth, cars, fancy digs and good looks. However, the one thing he wants seems to continuously slip through his fingers- a girlfriend. Sebastian doesn't just want meaningless sex, he can get that whenever he wants. He needs someone loyal to him, someone who makes him feel good about himself. After Sebastian causes some trouble, his uncle decides to place Sebastian at St. Augustine in order to try to get him noticed by a secret society, The Elite. Sebestian agrees since The Elite might be just the way to get him noticed by the type of woman who would treat him right. Sebastian uses his computer skills and ruthlessness to gain a spot into The Elite. With the Elite he finds a brotherhood and with the brotherhood, a woman who he thinks is worthy. Sebastian's task for The Elite is easy for him and he quickly refocuses on the woman of his dreams, Sabella. However, when Sabella doesn't agree to everything Sebastian wants, things begin to unravel and everything Sebastian has built up for himself might come crashing down.
Envy is book four in The Elite Seven Series. I would highly recommend reading at least book three, Wrath, beforehand since the stories are inextricably linked. Envy breaks the mold of the other Elite brothers. Sebastian is different and he just doesn't have some qualities of the sin he is given, but truly encompasses the meaning of Envy by destroying the lives of others for what he covets and not caring about the causalities it causes. Sebastian's character is darker and isn't a character that I could get behind, but is a character I understood. Though most of his actions are heinous, I understood his need to be part of the group and his willingness to do anything to get there. I sort of liked the break of the obvious romantic interest that the other stories had and Sebastian's infatuation with Sabella heightened the suspense. I really want to jump into the next book after this since so much went wrong for Sebastian at the end.
