Hello, we are back at it again with the chaotic sports gays this time with Even More Torture! If you thought these characters had a tragic backstory after The Foxhole Court, get ready for even more trauma as we learn more about the Twinyards, Neil, Kevin, and everyone else's reason they are a Fox in the first place. 

I fell even more in love with these idiots in this book. Neil's learning curve truly is "a horizontal line" as he claims to want to live while running headfirst into danger to save the team he says he doesn't really care about. Meanwhile, Neil is completely oblivious to the affect he has on every member of his team. Neil "I asked" Josten I cannot roll my eyes hard enough at this idiot boy. 

There is humor, and soft moments, and lots of Exy, but there is also intense sexual assault, murder, and 2 weeks of straight torture.  These children will never be the same.

But hey, they're still winning Exy games, and Neil's dad hasn't caught him yet.
