Returning to the Foxhole Court, the home of broken young people with a score to settle, we follow Neil as his world crumbles, his secret has been discovered, and for Neil, that can mean death.

I have to admit, I was a little sceptical after the first book, but the hype around these books made me decide to definitely keep going, and I'm glad I did. Expanding on each characters backstory, the second part of this trilogy was far more engaging. Again, these books are trauma after trauma. I'm talking about physical and sexual abuse, child abuse, drug use, suicide... the list goes on. But the story really is gripping, and I am looking forward to book three.

doy 5 porque no ha habido beso.
Me encanta que Neil se este haciendo a la realidad de que tiene una familia y que todos se esten dando cuenta de que, efectivamente son familia. Que vayan conociendose y curandose juntos. Les quiero mucho, a todos y tengo ganas de que le den de hostias a riko y a su tio. 
La escena de accion de gracias es sin duda de las escenas mas duras que he leido, el punto de vista de Neil es aterrador y es asi como lo hace llegar. A pesar de que no me gusta como han querido llevar algunos temas, esa escena es muy cruda pero necesaria para el punto de la trama. 
Espero leer pronto a Andrew y al equipo de vuelta. 🖤
