First and foremost this is not a romance or a love story – *at all*. This is also a most unusual book – which is both a good and a bad thing as far as I am concerned. I have not read a book for a while where I simply fell in love with the raw energy of the writing it almost literally swept me away. Of course whatever she recommends I have to read. However, the book has been sitting in my TBR mountain until recently, when a friend whose tastes coincide with mine about 95 percent of the time highly recommended it. I bought (that is, I downloaded since the book is free on Amazon) your book several months ago on the strength of a great review by someone whose tastes are quite close to mine. Maybe he’s finally found someone and something worth fighting for. Neil has survived the last eight years by running. One of Neil’s new teammates is a friend from his old life, and Neil can’t walk away from him a second time. His lies will hold up only so long under this kind of scrutiny and the truth will get him killed.īut Neil’s not the only one with secrets on the team. The team is high profile and he doesn’t need sports crews broadcasting pictures of his face around the nation. Signing a contract with the PSU Foxes is the last thing a guy like Neil should do. He’s short, he’s fast, he’s got a ton of potential-and he’s the runaway son of the murderous crime lord known as The Butcher. Neil Josten is the newest addition to the Palmetto State University Exy team. Sirius B- Reviews / C+ Reviews college sports / coming-of-age 15 Comments Don’t pass on the opportunity to read it.REVIEW: The Foxhole Court (All for the Game – book 1) by Nora Sakavic This book can be bought on Amazon, but it’s mainly an e-book and it’s free! Seriously, a book this good deserves all the love a reader can give. A novel that is written this beautifully deserves to be read by all. Exy is easily understandable as Sakavic has done an amazing job of describing exactly how it’s played. It’s easy to become invested in the character’s well-beings as parts of their struggles can be related to. There wasn’t a time when I lost interest in it as there are so many plot twists. In fact, you’d be better off reading a non-fiction piece if that’s what you’re after. So if you’re super-duper into realism then this book won’t be for you. Of course it’s not, it’s a fictional novel and there’s a lot of times when you could be left thinking, “That really wouldn’t happen”. The book itself isn’t completely realistic, either. I’d suggest avoiding this book if these topics are not something you’d feel comfortable reading about. At times, these scenes can be very graphical. There is a lot of violence, drugs and mental health issues are frequently mentioned. In saying all this I must explicitly warn you all of the books triggers. Exy is basically a rougher version of Lacrosse and there’s no saying what injuries could be made while out on the court. The truth is that each character has come from a miserable background and the coach, David Wymack, picks each member based on their brokenness. You find out about each of the character’s backstories and why they became a member of the Foxes exy team. The best thing about this book is that it leaves no story untold. Every character in this book has a story to tell, and each one is as brutal and horrific as the last. This book is incredible and I completely understand why people rave about it. After 8 years he’s finally found a place where he feels he belongs: should he stay or should he go? Review Neil has to come to the decision on whether or not this Exy Team is worth risking his life for. One of the members of the Exy team happens to be an old friend and he can’t leave him behind again. The lies he tells others can only withstand the strain of time and his other team members for so long, before his truths can be discovered he plans to move onto his next destination. Unfortunately, this leaves Neil at a disadvantage as he could easily be tracked down by the his father and killed if he were to discover it was him. This Exy team is often a part of live broadcasts meaning hiding from the sports news channels was an impossibility. Neil knew the risks of joining PSU Foxes but initially had no choice but to accept the offer. However, joining PSU’s Exy team takes him down an unsure path and one that lacks escape routes. After being on the run for the majority of his life, he’s used to moving from place to place on short notice. His upbringing has been far from simple as he is the son of the murderous crime lord known as ‘The Butcher’. The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic follows the story of Neil Josten who becomes a member of Palmetto State University’s (PSU Foxes) Exy team.
