One of my comfort series. Have read it too many times to count. This is my favorite in the series. I love watching the Foxes band together and seeing Neil have a family.

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.
