“He was their family. They were his. They were worth every cut and bruise and scream.”
This book was totally unhinged, painful, heartbreaking, masochistic and insane, and I'd be lying if I say I don't love all the characters because I do even though they are a little fucked in the head. I was not ready for this book. I knew it would be heavy and gut-wrentching but some of the topics that were discussed in this book and how it affected the characters' life was just painful to read. My heart hurts for each and every character in this book and they better get their happy ending in book 3.
At first, I thought I would hate this and was warned that if I don't like this book and then there's no way I'll like book 3 which is the best book in this series. I went with very little expectations and ignored how much I hate Nora's writing, and it went surprisingly well because this book made me love each and every character in Foxes. I loved the romance and all the couples are unique and interesting in their own way. It's not the main part of the story but it adds more to the story and the dramatics. The women in this book are something else and I admire them for their strength and power.
“Your parents are dead, you are not fine, and nothing is going to be okay. This is not news to you. But from now until May you are still Neil Josten and I am still the man who said he would keep you alive.”
I still don't understand the game rules and all but the matches are exhilarating and I love the determination Foxes have for Exy. Even though their team is divided in two parts they still give their bests in the game and even stood up for each other in worst times. The found family is one the best elements of this book. They all have their own traumatic and sad experiences in life and their love for Exy brought them closer. They fight and bicker all the time but in the end it's just Foxes against the whole world.
“It’s about family. Not necessarily the one we were born with, but the one we choose. This one. The people we trust to be part of our lives. The people we care about.”
➸ Neil Josten: Neil my precious boy. He deserves the world and the happiness. Learning about his past always breaks my heart. He's so passionate about Exy and I love how protective he is of his team-mates. Neil is the quiet and observant type until he shows his feral side and I love it when he stand up against Riko and his team and show them their place with just his words. He's my favourite Fox. His character development is one of the best and I am so happy he's finally found the people who loves him unconditionally. He's finally coming out of socially introvert zone and I can't wait to see how that goes for him.
“But Neil Josten was a Fox. Andrew called his home; Nicky called him family. Neil wasn’t going to lose any of it.”
➸ Andrew Minyard: I don't think I'll ever be same after knowing his story
