Foxe Tail

Foxe Tail - Haley Walsh
3.5 stars


I have to be honest with you:
I would have probably put this book aside after the first two chapters because I'm not very patient person concerning my books.
If I am not enthralled by a book from the very first page, I don't struggle through the rest, I do often DNF.

BECAUSE I don't believe that a book could turn into a masterpiece with a great final spurt in the last quarter.

BUT it was recommended me by a person whose sense of humour I appreciate, a lot.
So, I hoped for something incredibly good coming and kept on reading.

And I don't regret it. I really glad I gave it a chance.

Now I know, you need to get used to the writing of [a:Haley Walsh|4390441|Haley Walsh|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1311360288p2/4390441.jpg] to understand her humour.
She has an unostentatious and cosy writing style.
I really enjoyed the story and her voice behind the line.
Witty and charming.

Foxe Tail is a slight gay mystery with emphasis on SLIGHT. In spite of 2 corps and one seriously injured person it is still a heart-warming comedy with Skyler Foxe, a young gay English Lit teacher, in the main role. But also the second characters are well and interesting written. My absolutely number one, apart from Skyler, is his straight girl friend Sidney, a police officer who unsuccessfully tries to keep Skyler away from the felony and has a marvellous skill to appear on the right place at the right time. I love all Skyler's friends out of his S.F.C, Skyler Fuck Club - Philip, Jamie and Rodolfo.
They all together is fun pure.

I'll read the next book, no doubt!

Not only because a lot of questions remained unanswered, and because there is a small cliffhanger at the end of the first book-very clever, Mrs. Walsh!- but also because of the romance part!!! Keith Fletcher, a new biology teacher and football coach, is full of secrets and I eager to know them. Besides I want to see them together. IN BED. And not just FIRST TIME kissing in the last chapter!

YEAH, clever, very clever, Mrs. Walsh!

All in all, Foxe Tail was an enjoyable read with a sweet SATISFACTION effect.

It is one of this I-FEEL-ME-GOOD books, that won't turn your inner emotion's world upside down, but that brings a little sunshine in a rainy day, and maybe put a wide grin on your face.

Don't see it too seriously and you'll enjoy it. I did. Honestly.
