The one person standing in their way is Andrew, and the only one who can break through his personal barriers is Neil. Except Andrew doesn't give up anything for free and Neil is terrible at trusting anyone but himself. The two don't have much time to come to terms with their situation before outside forces start tearing them apart. Riko is intent on destroying Neil's fragile new life, and the Foxes have just become collateral damage. Neil's days are numbered, but he's learning the hard way to go down fighting for what he believes in, and Neil believes in Andrew even if Andrew won't believe in himself. [📖] 𝙲𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝙸𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚞𝚗𝚐: Das Cover ist weiß, mit dem Namen der Autorin in schwarzen Buchstaben mit roter Umrandung am unteren Rand des Buches. Mittig ist ein schwarzer Rabe mit roter Umrandung abgebildet, mit dem Titel des Buches (in derselben Schrift wie der bei der Autorin genutzten) darüber abgebildet. [📖] 𝙼𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚞𝚗𝚐: ❎ - es wurden sensible Themen angesprochen und in diesem Teil auch beschrieben, deswegen hätte man vllt eine Trigger Warnung hinzufügen sollen ⚠ - manche Sachen haben sich mit nicht ganz erschlossen (Verwandschaften, andere Beziehungen etc.), vllt lag das aber auch einfach am Englischen 🔤 ✅ - das Cover war zwar sehr schlicht, aber passend 📕 - diesmal war ein Glossar zu Exy dabei 👍 - das EBook war sehr günstig 💶 - die Charaktere und ihre Gruppe(n) waren sehr interessant 🙃 - so langsam merkt man etwas von der Liebesgeschichte in dieser Reihe 💟 - das Buch war gut und schnell zu lesen 📖 [📖] 𝙻𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖𝚙𝚏𝚎𝚑𝚕𝚞𝚗𝚐: Ja ✅. Diese Buch war emotionaler als der erste Teil, und es war sehr gut zu lesen, auch wenn manche Sachen für mich etwas komisch waren 📖.

Yes, I am a bit too old for YA and I do notice discrepancies, plot holes, convenient jumps and "facts" that bear logic - but damn, that book was a ride. And then some. Characters still not likeable as such but by now these monsters are loveable. On to book 3!

Ja, als Leser sollte man nicht zu viel hinterfragen. Andrew und die Darstellung seiner Psychopharmika ist einfach nur haarsträubend, wenn man sich nur etwas mit psychischen Erkrankungen auskennt. Ebenso gibt es Plotholes, interessante Schreibformulierungen, extremen Charakter Whump der schon fast wehtut und auch sonst einige fragwürdige Entscheidungen, aber trotzdem macht es Spaß die Reihe zu lesen. Es ist so eine guilty pleasure Reihe, wo ich einfach extrem in die 3 Hauptcharaktere verliebt bin. Sie sind solche Arschlöcher. Ich liebe sie einfach. 🥰

Phew, it's still difficult to rate this book. I would like to give it more stars because the characters have grown on me. Not all of them, but some. Why is it still only three? Many things are too extreme for me in the way that they are not addressed enough, or the readers are warned properly. The book would need a long list of content warnings an explicit talk about dysfunctional relationships and so on. There should also be instructions on how to get help if you experience bad things yourself. The writing style continues to be very nice and I'm super excited to see more character development. I would just like to see more responsibility towards the readers. I'm still waiting for my physical books, maybe there's more in them - that would be welcome. You can write fucked-up shit, but you should point out certain things.

This was... a lot. (Starting with the next one in the series right away.)

Que. Fue. Ese. Final.

MY BABY NEILLLLLLL

I was not prepared for this massive clusterfuck. I love all of these traumatized characters so much and am so heartbroken this series has remained on my TBR so long. I should've picked it up years ago. No time to type out a long review, I need to start the next book. (Ps: this book needs a trigger warning ⚠️)

Life doesn't care what we want out of it; it's up to us to fight for what we want with everything we've got. The Foxes are back on track. After a tragic death and a crushing defeat against the Ravens, probably the best Exy team in the US, they are desperately trying to earn back some of their reputations. But with Riko right on Neils's sleeves, he feels the need to run and abandon the Foxes as much as he feels the need to stay by their side. Only Andrew keeping his promise gives him the strength to keep being the striker they need. And Riko doesn't seem to care to much about his sudden appearance on the big screens. But for how long? Urgh, these books. I am living for all the feels. I am living for all the broken teenagers that are just trying to fix each other. There is a lot more action in this book and I am living for the writing style! I am sorry for all the quotes that didn't get the top spot this time. I am living dor a certain relationship, no spoilers coming tho. But: major content ahead guys, I probably had a heart attack towards the end of the book so be prepared for some TW (rape/ assault). I am so excited to read the last book while being so sad that this series is going to come to an end. Go Foxes.

It took all that for Neil to finally text his friends back
