3.5

Again this is a guilty pleasure book of mine, that I discovered in the pandemic and occasionally re-read.

This book has a more interesting plot than the first book ( when it comes to relationships) but it does have more intense subject matter. If you are not interested in reading anything with sexual assault and rape I would stay far away from this book.

Overall, I can't say this is a objectively good book since the plot is insane, but I do enjoy it.

Can I, in good conscience, recommend this book to a normal person? Probably not
Has the "you know, I get it" speech irrevocably rewired my brain chemistry? Absolutely

he was their family. they were his. they were worth every cut and bruise and scream.

A tradução pt-br continua horrível como no primeiro, mas isso à parte, continua sendo meu tudo. Ver a evolução do Neil e da relação dele com o Andrew e com os outros foxes… sempre me deixa emocionada.

He was their family. They were his. They were worth every cut and bruise and scream.

this series continues to be a tumultuous ride. i love the exy game scenes, i wish there were more. definitely some problematic things. even more violence lingering in every corner.

watching neil finding his place with the foxes is so worth it though. andrew has grown on me so much, i see why he's such a fan favorite. 

and with that, the slowest of burns ever that has me giggling and kicking my legs at the barest hint of what's to come:

"Speaking of unpredictable assholes, when did that happen?" 
"When did what?" Neil asked. 
Wymack eyed him. "Forget it."

i love these clueless dummies.

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. 🖤

• My review is for all three books
• The series is wonderful yet Sakavic found a way to ruin it every time it began to shine. From the unneeded
  sex
  scenes-which frankly felt forced and were included for the sake of fanservice, entire lulls in between rushed arcs, to the edgy, dramatic, and repetitive situations all come off as above average quality Wattpad mafia fanfics. That being said Sakavic still had me wanting to find out what happened to the characters despite my aversion to sport themed content normally. Finally, the ending felt entirely too rushed and highlighted how Sakavic uses trauma as a romance plot rather than the seriousness it should have been dealt with.
