4.13 AVERAGE


Mr. Hurwitz, you almost killed me. Evan Smoak!

There is nothing left to say except: I could read about him every day and never get bored of him.

2.5 rounded up. The Orphan books have been love it or hate it for me lately. I don’t like angsty Evan and if we were getting a girl assassin I would’ve much preferred more of Candy. I do like what I hope is the setup for the next book with Tommy.

I love these ridiculous books.

I WILL NEVER BORE OF EVAN SMOAK!

Call me biased, I don't care. I want every single story Hurwitz can come up with for Orphan X. Every. Single. One. Heck, when he runs out of stories for him, I hope he gives us spin-offs from the side Orphans. I am here for all of it.
I am here for the action. I am here for the constant character building. I am here for the adventures. Just give me more.

Each book in this series takes the reader on an unexpected ride. Sometimes, the ride is a little out there and sci-fi like. Sometimes it's just plain adventurous. This one hit the nail on the head with all of the machine and AI push that the world is currently seeing. It's a lot scary and (in the book) a ride I was on board for.

Evan and Joey are really coming into their own as far as their relationship goes. They both are growing on one another. At some point, they just may become on in the same. Watching their balance of work-life and personal connections collide and somewhat flatten out is something I look forward to in each book. I like to see where they each go with their character attributes and how much they grow.

This one is another winner for me. I can never recommend this series enough.
