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.
