He would later say that he didn't remember any of them being good. He grew up with twelve different foster families until he was thirteen. Under the foster system he was registered as "Andrew Doe" as Tilda did not register him with a last name. Nicky stated that the decision was random A week later she began to feel guilty about her decision and decided to take one child back she ended up picking Aaron, leaving Andrew alone in the foster system. She gave birth to them and had them put into the foster care system. At 5' flat, he is very short - his Exy racquet is taller than he is - and "doesn't look like much" in person, however, he is also considered a person to be afraid of by the majority of The Foxes.Īndrew and Aaron's mother, Tilda Minyard, became pregnant with the twins after what Nicky theorized to be a one night stand. In reality, he is hiding the scars on his wrists from years of self-harm, and a convenient sheath for knives. They are rumored to be a sarcastic attempt to differentiate him from his twin, Aaron, for other people's sake. He always wears black wristbands that reach from his wrists to his elbows.
Foxhole court trilogy skin#
How Sakavic packed in so much is beyond us and we are salivating for more…what’s next for Neil, his teammates and the sport itself? We secretly hope Sakavic is busy writing the fourth book in the series or we might have to send around some heavies for a little persuasion (we joke, sort of).Andrew has blonde hair, pale skin and hazel eyes. It’s an exhausting ride, but well worth it. Throw in confusing feelings by and towards Andrew (the most troubled and violent player on his team), the slow reveal of who Neil really is, his past and wavering future, he comes face to face with not only his recently released from jail father but he has to take on the head of the Exy mafia in a showdown that whilst bloody, will keep your adrenaline pumping in anticipation of the final outcome. After so much running, he can’t run anymore as his team is pushed further into the spotlight of the annual league competition. But Neil isn’t the only one with a secret one of his teammates is an acquaintance from his troubled past…will they expose him when they figure out who he is? As Neil tackles trust and acceptance issues from his own team his past is fast catching up with him.īook 3 see Neil out of time. When Neil becomes the newest addition to the Palmetto State University “Foxes” team – a team made up of misfits, all with a troubled past who are the laughing stocks of the national league table – he’s confident that with the teams low ranking, and little press coverage, he will be able to keep his secret and stay out of the limelight. His world flipped the day his mother, armed with stolen cash and bonds, decided to run in the pursuit of freedom, but that freedom came at a price and when scouted by Exy talent scouts from a high profile university he’s forced to decide to either join them or continue to run.
He lives to love the sport as Exy provides the one constant that grounds him because Neil Josten is of course not his real name he’s changed names, hair and eye colour at least 20 times over the past 8 years.
Neil joins a small town Exy team whilst trying to stay off the radar. With so much mystery (and history) surrounding each of the main characters we found it hard to put them down as Sakavic took us on a journey of discovery with each character, the world of Exy (a mix of lacrosse and hockey) and the corruption behind the foundations the sport was built on.īook 1 & 2 centre around Neil Josten who’s on the run from his murderous crime lord father. We can’t tell you how engrossing this trilogy was.
Written across three books – Book 1: “The Foxhole Court”, Book 2: “The Raven King” and Book 3: “The King’s Men” – we were pleasantly surprised how much we engaged with this fast paced sinister and twisted storyline (normally a sports theme alone would be enough to turn us away). Take psychotic and dysfunctional team members of a hard hitting and physical (make-believe) sport called “Exy”, mix in drugs, alcohol, physical abuse, hitmen, maffia bosses, kidnapping and not forgetting lots of cuts and bruises, torture, sexual tension…actually loads of tension in general, sprinkle with a whole dose of trust issues and more secrets than you can poke a stick at… and say hello to Nora Sakavic’s ‘All for the Game’ trilogy.
