Review: Loved the premise, but didn't realise its full potential

When Devon and his brothers pull up to the run down arena that is the home of their latest hockey team, the Battle Creek Hawks, they know it's their last opportunity to keep doing the only thing they know how to do - play hockey. The brothers had been poised on the brink of sports superstardom but with the death of, first their father five years previously, and then their mother a year ago, their antics and on ice brawling landed them in the bottom of the barrel minor league team that hadn't won a game in three years. And no wonder with a team that was more interested in playing as individuals and an ineffectual and apathetic coach who had lost all control of his team.I really liked the banter between Devon and Saul in their first couple of encounters. There was some good humour in the beginning that promised to make for an entertaining read. I loved the premise and the chemistry of the MCs, unfortunately what could have been a great story didn't end up realising its full potential and fell short of the mark. It was too short, leaving both the plot and the characters underdeveloped. Most of the problems could have been sorted with some good editing.Read the full review at Live Your Life, Buy The Book
