for all his aggression, Andrew also seems to be the only thing between Kevin Day and the life he left behind. Or that’s what Neil, with way more issues than t-shirts, assumes it’s his motivations. Andrew in particular seems willing to go to great lengths to find out Neil’s secrets simply for the sake of controlling him. Neil keeps trying to implement his usual distance with everybody, but his reluctance, his absent parents and his generally paranoid demeanour make some of the already altered Foxes highly suspicious. The craziest of them all seems to be Andrew, short but dangerously violent and on an on-off again relationship with the meds he’s legally obligated to use to control his violent impulses. Kevin’s not even the biggest issue the Foxes have to throw at Neil, though, the whole team is made of people who have fucked up somehow, normally big time (drugs, violence). Kevin Day is also someone who's gotten to play Ezy, the sport Neil loves, and be famous because of it, that is, from Neil's POV, he has a charmed life. The new star striker of said team is someone from Neil's past who could recognize him and thus jeopardize his life along with his anonymity. He receives a rather unpleasant surprise when his coach tells him he sent a video of him playing to a A-league team, the Foxes, and he's being recruited to play for them. Neil is finishing high school, although it's unclear why since he plans on running and ditching the identity of Neil as soon as he's done and playing Ezy on the school team. Neil's only indulgence is the revolutionary sport of Ezy, a weird cross of lacrosse and rugby with rules I'm unclear on even after following a match from the edge of my seat (and man, if I could care less about organized sports! but, again, Sakavic, through Neil, made it the most important thing possible). The narrator is rather paranoid teenage Neil, well, "Neil" since we are to assume that his name is fake since he's been in the run with his mom since he was a kid. THE FOXHOLE COURT EBOOK HOW TOIt is amazingly readable, this is a quality often looked down upon but a good writer knows how to make interesting content digestible and Sakavic certainly had me on page 20 before I realized I was reading on the laptop once again. This is hardly that unusual when I read the first part of a trilogy whose two other parts remain unpublished.īut back to Foxhole Court. I'm writing this review in hope that it will easy my mind because it's been 2 5 days since I finished this novel and I can't stop thinking about it.
