A friend recommended this book series as it's her favourite. I listened on Audible while also reading the physical book. Unrelated to the story, but my copy of the book is missing a few pages at the start of the book which was annoying. I'm also not a fan of the narrator on Audible.
Onto the actual review. I was intregued by Neil's backstory or lack thereof. Neil keeps his past secret and is always running away from it, until he meets the Palmetto State Foxes, an Exy team made up of misfits, druggies and second chance stories.
It took me a while to understand the many different characters intentions and how they interact with the world. This story is more "adult" than I was expecting and quite depressing from the main characters perspective, as Neil doesn't feel safe or interested in becoming close to his teammates.
Then towards the end of the book it sets up the next book, introducing Riko, a person from Neil and Kevin's past. The book ends on the death of a Foxes member and sets up the idea that Riko had something to do with it.
When I was midway through the book I considered leaving it unfinished, because I was quite numbed from all the hostility and fighting within the group (TW)

Se vienen cositas.
Me encanta la dinamica de chosen family y la manera en la que, aunque se esten peleando, se unen como uno en los partidos. Espero que en los siguientes libros se desarrolle la relacion de todos, aunque, algunas cosas se pasaron muy a la ligera para mi gusto. En general me ha encantado y tengo muchas ganas de seguir leyendo sobre ellos. Esperando que en el segundo libro Andrew y Neil arreglen la tension palpante...

Y bueno sobre Seth...im not saying he deserve it but gods timing is always right
