Oh, and it’s co-ed.) And then out of nowhere he’s recruited to a college team, the Foxes, with a full scholarship. That’s about as much as I can gather anyway. Anyway, everyone wears padding and helmets, and they carry the ball with lacrosse sticks, and you can’t go more than 10 steps with the ball. Honestly, I don’t know enough about ice hockey to include more references – sorry, ice hockey isn’t really a thing in Australia, but we do play field hockey. (It’s kind of like lacrosse, but indoors on a court like ice hockey except with wooden floors, but you can bounce the ball off the walls and ceiling like in squash. Neil starts off in some nowhere town, playing this crazy-hyped (made up) sport called Exy. His past is covered in so many secrets that it’s hard to figure out anything about him, initially. HOWEVER, it all works itself out by about halfway through the book as the reader is drip fed more information. The characters don’t really seem to get much of an introduction, and they’re thrown at you from the start – there’s no time to meet one before you’re in the mix of twins, cousins, teams, rivals from the past, and zero context about what the sport even is.

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.
