The conclusion to the All for the Game series, ties up the whole story and characters with a nice bow. Neil gets his well-deserved freedom (of sorts), as happy an ending as any Fox could ask for.

The conclusion to the All for the Game series sees Neil and Andrew taking their relationship to a physical level. The truth about Neil’s background comes out—as the son of the “Butcher of Baltimore” along with his connections to the Moriyamas. Neil is kidnapped by his father, and is tortured/heavily injured—he is rescued, however, and his father is killed. This allows for Ichirou (of the head Moriyama branch) to take over Neil’s contract and give him a shot at freedom.

I think this is the strongest installment in the series by far; we actually get character development, growth, everything from the first two books is paying off and it's GLORIOUS.  I couldn't put it down, and actually cried a couple times; it's been a wild ride, and I definitely think this isn't the book for everyone, but I had a hell of a good time with it.

My fav book of the series. Loved seeing andrew and neil’s relationship grow. The plot twist about Wymack and Kevin was so unexpected wished we were shown more of them after coach found out. The ending was so unexpected, wasn’t expecting it at all. Loved that Andrew saved him against Riko though.
