The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic

4.0

"Its not the world that's cruel," Neil said. "Its's the people in it."

Neil Josten is always on the run. But always doesn't mean forever. He soon is found by Kevin Day, one of the most popular Exy players up until the point, where he broke his dominant hand. Kevin and his coach want Neil for their Team, The Foxes, the least popular, smallest and probably worst Exy Team in the states. Kevin doesn't seem to recognize Neil, while he is totally aware of the figure of his history. He unwillingly agrees to join the Foxes and is soon confronted with media and press, attention, and his teammates, especially Andrew Minyard. Everything he doesn't need and doesn't want right now. Nobody knows the secret he carries around, and he is not sure how long he will be able to keep it.

The first part of the "All for the Game" trilogy. The book is very easy to read and has some interesting characters. The whole plot is just getting started, so it was sometimes a very stretched story, mostly consisting of Neil getting to know the campus and Exy practices. Near the end, there were finally some hints leading to the back story that involves partly Neil and Kevin, which makes me hopeful, that there is going to be more about it in the next two books. I had difficulties getting behind Andrews's character. Sometimes he still seems to be a secret to me, so I am eager to find out more about this mysterious bad boy.
