Listen. Listen. 

This book was better than the first one and I just want all my children to be safe and happy by the time this series is done. 

Except Riko. Let Riko burn in a fiery pit in hell, thanks.

Following Neil and the other Foxes through this book is definitely a ride as we get to know everyone else and their reasons to be a Fox in Wymacks team.
The writing style is a tad better, the characters aren't that stereotypical anymore, but it's still not really good.
The development and the stories of every single Fox tho, that's what actually makes these books so good, seeing them growing as a found family, overcoming their past struggles and helping eachother through them, that's what makes these books as good as they are.

Neil being oblivious that they are his friends (Nicky actually telling him, that yes indeed they're friends), him feeling "weird" whenever someone does something for him, it's heartbreaking and oh so bittersweet to see him finally having an actual support system, feeling free and careless, I love it!

This book starts a bit slow and turns into a rollercoaster of emotions, it prepares everything for the last book while being better than the first installment of the series. It's not the best, but so much better than the first and makes you really fall in love with the characters!
