he was their family. they were his. they were worth every cut and bruise and scream.

A tradução pt-br continua horrível como no primeiro, mas isso à parte, continua sendo meu tudo. Ver a evolução do Neil e da relação dele com o Andrew e com os outros foxes… sempre me deixa emocionada.

Please don't expect a coherent review because this is mostly overtired babbling but anyway...

If you think the first book is dark then oh boy do I have news for you!

The thing with these books is that despite the spelling / grammar mistakes, being confusing to read, the fact that it could probably do with an editor all fall by the wayside when stacked against wanting to know what happens to these damaged characters. 
Seeing the mysteries of their lives unfolding, the horrific incidents they've been through / go through, the constant tension of when they'll 'go too far' just absolutely grab hold of you. Or they did for me anyway!
I read almost all of this book in one day; I stayed up until 2am last night to finish it. 

And christ there are some horrible disturbing scenes in this book. But all I can think about is that I wish I had today off to read the last book 😅 
What sorcery is this??

It’s horrible, it’s amazing. I hate it, I’m obsessed. I have zero interest in most sports, I am DIYing a Palmetto State Jersey. My Lock Screen is the Foxes’ logo. I made a bookmark with the team’s lineup and logo. I was in a horrible reading slump for almost a month and absolutely devoured this in three days. They’re evil little monsters with mountains of trauma out for their own survival, they’ll self sacrifice and murder for each other without a blink. The team is finally learning to come together just as they’re being torn apart. They don’t give two sh*ts. They care so f*cking much. The odds are so high against them it’s impossible. I can’t wait to watch them destroy everyone at semi-finals. 

The content warnings are almost as long as the review, the list keeps going. And yet… 

Reading isn’t enough. I need to inject this into my bloodstream. 
I cannot recommend this to any of my friends. I am desperate for someone to infect with it. I need someone to go insane with me.

Returning to the Foxhole Court, the home of broken young people with a score to settle, we follow Neil as his world crumbles, his secret has been discovered, and for Neil, that can mean death.

I have to admit, I was a little sceptical after the first book, but the hype around these books made me decide to definitely keep going, and I'm glad I did. Expanding on each characters backstory, the second part of this trilogy was far more engaging. Again, these books are trauma after trauma. I'm talking about physical and sexual abuse, child abuse, drug use, suicide... the list goes on. But the story really is gripping, and I am looking forward to book three.
