this book has all the same issues as tbe first book, along with most of the story being told in info dumps. I still hate the treatment of Andrews' character, and the handling of Nickys' sexuality. Also I truly thing the author should've done at least a bloody google search about what psychosis is, because clearly she has no idea what it means considering how wrongly she uses the word. 
I did enjoy the story a bit more than the first book but I still can't bring myself to rate it anything over a 2. Why the hell I'm rereading this is truly a mystery.

This is the second book I’ve read this year with this title. Coincidence? I think not.

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.
