"We're talking about a sport, not a death match."
"Same difference,”

the book is a fever dream but i'm invested af and i low key love them.

college sports romance but add in mafia crime families, mental illness, and drugs.

came for the violent fictional sport, stayed for the evil twin.

I don’t think I have ever read a book with such an intense “it’s complicated” when asked if the characters are loveable

My list applies for the entire series. Absolutely not for the faint of heart, take care of yourself. If literally any of this bothers you, do NOT read this or any other book in the series, I am so serious.

3.0

On both subjective and objective levels, this book had many problems, some of which bothered me greatly, others which didn't, except on a few occasions. It had many flaws, but I had fun with it. It's bizarre. It's all over the place. It's short but could've been shorter. The characters are very over the top. Some concerning things are glossed over that should not be so (ableist and homophobic language, a SA scene, nonconsensual drugging to name a few), and you should be aware of this going into the book.

If I was Neil, and thankfully I'm not, I would've left the foxes at the very least after Eden. Most of them are not good people, which can be attributed to their trauma in most cases but does not make everything they say or do okay in any way. I care for them as fictional people but would not want to be associated with them in real life.

This book is not for everyone, and it is a MUST to read the trigger warnings cause there are MANY.

I will read the rest of the series because I care about the characters, and it was a fun read because of how ridiculous it was.

I loved it. 

Seth's death was a plot device. Change my mind. You can't cause I'm right.

No book has ever given me more anxiety than this book.

Check your trigger warnings.

This book is not particularly well written, but it is incredibly captivating. This is one of the more unique, creative, and wholly inventive books I've ever read. I wish this author had had a better editor/editing team, but this will capture your attention from cover to cover.

Everything about this book is crass. There are several very off-color rape jokes and the violence is so casually brutal I was constantly flinching.
